Health and Beauty Market Trends
The key trends in the health and beauty market are ease & affordability, health & wellness, sustainability & ethics, individualism & expression, and digitalization.
Ease & Affordability: Millennials and Generation Z consumers are most concerned about their personal financial situation. This makes the easy & affordable theme very influential. Hence, greater efforts from brands to deliver value for money will therefore be appreciated by this demographic. Considering the rising cost of living, most consumers are staying loyal to the brands they usually buy, they are buying either fewer products or smaller packs, or are shopping less often. Loyalty schemes are therefore essential for brands and retailers to reward this behavior and ensure it continues. However, older consumers are the least likely to switch and are least willing to change their shopping habits. Accepting price increases is preferred over purchasing fewer products from the same brands.
Health & Wellness: Consumers today understand the role that good mental health and diet can play in improving appearance from the inside out. Millennials are equally concerned about their physical fitness and mental well-being, while Generation Z is more concerned about the latter. Products with stress-relieving and calming claims are being developed to address these concerns. Health-conscious consumers are also highly aware of products’ formulation. The strong influence of the health & wellness theme is impacting the claims that consumers find appealing in personal care products when making a purchase. The ‘organic’ claim is appealing to most consumers, with Generation X and Y and those residing in Central and South America or Asia and Australasia being most interested.
Sustainability & Ethics: Since consumers have a complete understanding of sustainability these days, they seek out brands making a concerted effort to mitigate their environmental impact across the supply chain.
Most consumers agree that they are more loyal to brands that support ‘green’/environmental matters, creating an incentive for brands to align with sustainable principles to attract and retain a loyal consumer base. Beauty manufacturers will appeal most to environmentally conscious consumers by ensuring products are easy to dispose of, recycle, and are zero-wastage. Emerging claims such as ‘reduced water footprint’ resonate most with Generation Y consumers, whereas lightweight and plastic-free products resonate most with Baby Boomers.
