Future Trends in Skincare 2011

“THE FUTURE TRENDS DECODED” by market research, February 2011

VISUAL CULTURE

  • ‘Visual Culture’ and an associated pre-occupation with appearance is the defining trend in the personal care. Image is important to consumers even if they do not significantly feel pressure to look good – at least consciously. There is scope for consumers to feel happier about their appearance, given the pressure to conform to demanding beauty ideals associated with contemporary society. Visual Culture is the core macro-trend influencing personal care habits. Consumers generally feel it is important to look their best, which is fueling skincare product usage!

 

Interesting take on this by Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth..

 CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN SKINCARE

  • Countries with long traditions of ‘skincare management’ have the largest, most established skincare markets. France has a reputation as a skincare knowledge center and consumers here have regular skincare routines. The US is the second largest skincare market in the world and the Japanese purchase high amounts of skincare products as caring for skin forms a key element of their beauty routines. Skin whitening creams form an important basis of Middle Eastern women’s skincare regimes.
  • Most consumers are spending longer on their skincare regimes!

VALUE FOR MONEY MEETS THE SAVVY SKINCARE CUSTOMER

    

  • Value-for-money is the main skincare product attribute desired by consumers. While private labels still struggle behind branded skincare products, the recession and a propensity to seek value-for-money are fuelling demand.
  • Consumers are becoming more demanding of skincare products that address particular skin problems which is leading to more innovative forms of skincare solutions – skin dryness still being very high on the list!
