Baby Care Segment in the United Kingdom
The baby personal care market consists of the retail sale of baby toiletries and diapers. The baby toiletries segment consists of liquid and solid-based bathing products, lotions, oils, powders, shampoos, and wipes (baby toiletries). The diapers segment consists of baby, cloth, and training.
The UK baby personal care market experienced negative growth during the review period. Market growth is expected to further decline at a slower pace over the forecast period. Unstable economic conditions and the declining fertility rate are affecting the market growth in the UK. Moreover, uncertainty related to government rules and regulations arising after ‘Brexit’ is a matter of concern for manufacturers. However, the growing health and wellness trend among consumers has created some demand for organic and natural baby products.
Category segmentation
The Baby Care market is categorized into two major segments – Diapers and Baby Toiletries. Diapers is the largest segment of the baby personal care market in the United Kingdom.
Competitive landscape
The UK baby personal care market is concentrated, with the top four players, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark and Unilever, accounting for the majority of the market share. These companies have developed strong, globally recognized brands that compete fiercely for market share. Differentiation in this market is relatively limited, although innovation in terms of packaging, branding, and product are a distinct way in which the large incumbents in this market fight for market share. For example, Pampers, owned by Procter & Gamble, offer a wide range of baby diapers and pants. These include brands such as swaddlers sensitive and swaddlers overnights for different age groups. All of the major brands in this market differentiate their products in similar ways, meaning that while differentiation can be made between products within a brand, essentially the big brands in this market will all be selling similar products.
