In 2018 the performance of beauty and personal care was the strongest since 2015, despite flat value gains in some areas including Western Europe. Robust growth reflects Latin America’s sustained revival, as well as Asia’s unabated growth trajectory. Generally, a shift towards premiumisation continues, however a change in the perceptions of premium is allowing the mass segment to narrow the growth gap by offering quality solutions in accessible ways, such as through health and ethical claims.

Key Findings

Anti-taboo health narratives come to the fore

The pursuit of better, safer and healthier life choices, coupled with digital tools nurturing candid conversation, call out culture and privacy-enabling direct-to-consumer selling platforms, has turned the beauty industry into a hotbed for taboo-busting beauty solutions, addressing hormonal skin care to chronic afflictions, such as hair loss.

The consumer pursuit for self optimisation

From AI chatbots and voice commerce, to telehealth, biohacking, epigenetics and diagnostics apps, today’s empowered consumers are looking for new ways to optimise their wellbeing with greater autonomy, efficacy and precision.

Blurring lines between premium and mass

The blurring of health and beauty is freeing the industry from a culture embedded in old school vanity and luxury. Today’s status symbols are health and good intentions, which as a marketing message is much easier to convey at any price point than the aspirational codes of yesteryear.

A new era of normalisation in male self-care

With the role of the male in society changing, the stigma surrounding male grooming is softening. For the first time, brands are able to replace persuasion tactics with a focus on the function and benefits of a product, as with female beauty, which is stimulating market growth with long-term potential.

Biotechnology brings a new dawn for ingredients

Instead of pitting science and nature against one another, bioengineered beauty is helping to dispel the disharmony by recreating natural biological process for maximum efficacy and safety, as well as sustainability purposes – a benefit for the health of consumers and the planet.

The sustainability baseline is raised to encompass environmental debt

There is a growing acknowledgement that the production of waste or the use of water cannot be eliminated entirely from manufacturing processes or end usage, and whilst steps to improve environmental footprint are progressing at a rapid pace, these initiatives do not erase the damage. “Blue beauty” puts the emphasis on a positive credit system to repay environmental debt.
