Facing the day…
The NPD Group noted that after several years of soft
performance, skin care was revitalized in 2017. Reaching
$5.6 billion in sales, growth stemmed from smaller segments,
including masks (+32%), facial exfoliators (+12%)
and cleansers (+6%), and other face products (+39%)
which, among other items, includes emerging formats, essences
and facial sprays. Larger segments such as facial
moisturizers (+7%) and age specialists (+7%) also fared
well in 2017. The body, sun, and hair care segments of
the skin care category all experienced growth as well.
Mintel stated that the skin care market is highly saturated
and brands are challenged by consumer demand
for simplicity as well as routine shopping behaviors,
which limit product trials. Focusing on unique offerings
to capture the attention of consumers—such as Korean
skin care trends and on-the-go formats—could nurture
category growth. Eco-ethical claims will also continue to
rise, and familiar, food-inspired ingredients such as apple
cider vinegar and Manuka honey will support
the natural trend, according to Alison
Gaither, Mintel Beauty & Personal Care
Analyst.
