LONDON, Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report:
The US Fragrances Market: What Consumers Use and Why?
Product Synopsis
This report provides the results for the Fragrances market in the US 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 Fragrances 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 Fragrances market they account for, and which consumer trends drive their behavior.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
As consumer confidence increases proportionally to economic recovery, consumer trends will be directly affected. Since the global financial crisis of 2008–2009 the retail market has been characterized by an increase in the amount of discounted and own-brand products. Fragrances are not considered essential items and therefore consumption patterns have been comparatively affected. As economic and market recovery continues over 2012, consumption patterns will record a positive trend in both the Medium and Heavy frequency bands and the amount of Non-users should decrease.
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 Features and Benefits
Consumer data, based upon proprietary surveys and then consumer group tracking and modeling for the following specific categories: Female Fragrances, Male Fragrances, and Unisex Fragrances.
Detailed consumer segmentation covering over 26 consumer groups, 20 consumer trends, and consumption frequency for each product category.
Consumer penetration for brands and private labels, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.
Unique retailer choice data at the product category level, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.
Key Market Issues
Consumption frequency analysis reveals that 55% of Tweens& Early Teens are consumers of Male Fragrances, the highest proportion of any age group. This category typically includes the age where consumers become more aware of personal grooming and start to use fragrances.
The Fragrances market in the US is dominated by Female Fragrances and Male Fragrances ,which constitute 97% of the overall market by value, giving Unisex Fragrances only a 3% share. This indicates that consumers are extremely conscious of gender branding in this market and prefer using gender specific products. This is further supported by the low numbers of males using Female Fragrances and females using Male Fragrances.
Consumption frequency analysis reveals that 8% of Tweens & Early teens are Heavy-users of Unisex Fragrances, the highest proportion of any age group. This indicates that manufactures of Unisex Fragrances should position and market their products with this demographic in mind. This may also be an indication of the blurring of gender boundaries in the younger generation so the trend may continue as the consumers in this category transition to older age groups.
Key Highlights
Comparing the value shares of Male and Female users (44:56) with their population shares for this survey (49:51) there is a large differential, showing that Females spend far more on their Fragrance use than Males.
While private label penetration is low across the Fragrances market in the US, it is far higher in Female Fragrances than in Male or Unisex Fragrances. This suggests that women are more open to trying private label health and beauty products than men.
According to data analysis, Urban dwellers contribute 73% share, by value, to the Unisex Fragrances market, while Rural dwellers have the remaining 27% share. In this survey, 66% of respondents were Urban dwellers. This indicates that Urban Dwellers are more likely to consume a Unisex Fragrance whereas Rural Dwellers tend to remain more gender aware in their Fragrance choices.
