Summary

Why was the report written?

Marketers in the Personal Hygiene market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the keys to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends.This report solves these problems by providing integrated survey-based data on consumer trends, consumer groups and market data which show exactly the size of consumer groups, how much of the Personal Hygiene market they account for and which consumer trends drive their behavior.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?

In a market characterized by set personal care routines and ingrained habits typically lasting a life time a key to longer terms success is the need to attract new customers and encourage consumption frequency. In the future the ability to target the specific trends that encourage consumers to switch either brands or categories will be key for future success.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?

Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets – making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial.The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of sales across 26 consumer groups – providing through the data a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having.

As this impact assessment is based not only on how many consumers act on these trends, but also how often they act on this it provides unique insight into the "size of the prize" when targeting these consumer trends in each category covered.

Key Highlights

Consumption frequency analysis reveals that Tweens & Early Teens have only 8.5% share in the Personal Hygiene market and while Older consumers have 25.4% share. This is representative of high levels of disposable income among higher age groups and increasingly individual personal health choices, free of parental influence.

Virtually all consumption of Antiperspirants & Deodorants is of a Heavy frequency, indicating that there is limited potential to grow the category by volume. Instead, suppliers should focus on value-added products to encourage consumers to trade up to premium products.

There are some significant differences between the proportion of people who say that a particular trend affects their consumption, and the actual resulting share of the market affected by this. This highlights that some significant differences between what people do and what they say is important in affecting their consumption exist.
