Product Synopsis

This report provides the results for the Skincare market in the UK from Canadean's unique, highly detailed study of consumers' Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) consumption habits, and forms part of an overall series covering all CPG product markets. Its coverage includes, but is not limited to, consumption behaviors, the extent to which consumer trends influence their consumption, the value of the market these trends influence, and brand and private label choices as well as retailer choices. Much of this information can also be analyzed by specific consumer groups, providing hard and fast data on consumers and markets at the product category level.

Introduction and Landscape

Why was the report written?
Marketers in the Skincare market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the key to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends. This data report solves these problems by providing survey-based data on consumer trends and consumer groups, and market data that shows the exact size of consumer groups, how much of the Skincare 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, the key to longer term success is attracting new customers and encouraging 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 consumption across 26 consumer groups. This data provides a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having.

What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The data provided is unique in the market as it tracks consumer behavior through to its actual value impact on a product market. This provides readers with a unique data analysis of the market, allowing marketing tactics and strategy to be updated in line with the very latest consumer behaviors.

Key Market Issues

Just a quarter of Tweens & Early Teens use Hand Care products, which is indicative of Hand Care not being an important requirement for this age group. Markets should concentrate their efforts on older age groups.

The Skincare market in the UK is dominated by the Facial Care category, which constitutes 76% by value, but only 63% by volume. This is indicative of Facial Care products being much more expensive than the other categories in this market and consumers being willing to spend more on them.

Females contribute a 72%share by value to the Skincare market, which is significant considering that Females constitute 50% of the UK population. This is unsurprising and representative of the fact that female consumers are traditional users of Skincare products. However, Male use is likely to increase in the future with men becoming more aware of personal grooming and male targeted products becoming more available.

Key Highlights

Older Consumers represent over a quarter of the value share of the UK Skincare market. This is indicative of the UK having an aging population – Older Consumers represent 29% of the UK. Marketers should ensure that they target this demographic in order to avoid missing a large section of the available market.

Branded products account for just below 90% of the Skincare market across all categories, with Private Label products accounting for the remainder. This indicates that, in matters of Skincare, most consumers are Brand loyal; however, there is a significant proportion for whom for the value for money provided by Private Label products is attractive. This is further supported by 'Better Value for Money' being one of the leading factors influencing consumption trends in the UK with 21.3% of consumers quoting this as important.

Urban Dwellers in the UK account for 74% of the Depilatory market, but only 70% of the population. This indicates that Urban Dwellers are willing to spend more on these products than their Rural neighbors – a factor that needs to be accounted for in marketing campaigns.
