The research from Mintel revealed that Thai consumers demonstrate a strong inclination for trying out different beauty and personal care items, with nearly half (48%) saying they are prone to shifting to new beauty brands. Chayapat Ratchatawipasanan, principal beauty and personal care analyst at Mintel Reports Thailand, explained, "The colour cosmetics sector is exceptionally dynamic, with trends evolving rapidly in parallel with fashion and lifestyle shifts. Consequently, brand loyalty in the colour cosmetics realm is limited: consumers eagerly adopt trends and readily embrace popular products and brands currently making waves, often led by social media.” #marketing #consumerinsights #cosmetics ------ -[Awards] MARKETECH APAC is launching its inaugural "Marketing Technology Awards" where we recognise the groundbreaking achievements in marketing technology, uniting the brands and tech organisations within the region’s marketing community.

Recently, leading trend forecaster @WGSN revealed their predictions of the consumers of beauty in 2026, with some behaviours already becoming apparent. In 2026, WGSN has predicted there to be four types of Beauty Consumer: > The Impartialists: A level-headed consumer that values facts over fiction. > The Autonomists: The rule breakers finding their own paths. > The Gleamers: Yearning for a simpler, more fulfilling life. > The Synergists: Curious optimistics on a mission to make the world a better place. A huge mistake we see beauty brands and businesses make is assuming their target customers don't adapt or shift their values, lifestyle and even spending habits. Your 'target audience' may not forever be your 'target audience' Consumers of beauty are ever changing and evolving. You must stay ahead of the curve and be able to predict trends and shifts. Our natural curiosity and desire for “more” is instrumental to anticipating market shifts and identify promising opportunities for your business. You must predict and prepare for trends and changes in your consumer.

Order your 'Global Bb Cream Market - Forecasts to 2029' FREE Sample Report via https://lnkd.in/ebx_Xhw As we delve into the ever-evolving landscape of skincare, one can't help but wonder: How will emerging skincare trends impact the trajectory of the BB cream market by 2029? In my journey through the healthcare industry, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of skincare innovations. From breakthrough ingredients to cutting-edge formulations, the skincare industry is constantly evolving to meet the diverse needs of consumers. BB creams, or beauty balms, have long been hailed as multitasking wonders, offering a blend of skincare and makeup benefits in one convenient product. But as skincare trends continue to evolve, so too does the role of BB creams in our beauty routines. One emerging trend that's poised to shape the future of the BB cream market is the growing demand for clean and sustainable beauty products. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the ingredients they put on their skin, opting for products that are free from harmful chemicals and environmentally friendly. This shift towards clean beauty is driving innovation in the BB cream market, with brands incorporating natural and organic ingredients into their formulations. Another trend that's gaining momentum is the focus on inclusivity and diversity in beauty. As consumers demand products that cater to a wide range of skin tones and types, BB creams are evolving to offer more shade options and customizable formulations. This emphasis on inclusivity not only reflects the changing demographics of beauty consumers but also presents new opportunities for growth in the BB cream market. Additionally, the rise of skincare customization is reshaping the way we approach beauty. With advancements in technology, consumers now have access to personalized skincare solutions tailored to their unique needs and concerns. This trend towards customization is driving innovation in the BB cream market, with brands offering customizable formulas that address specific skincare concerns, such as hydration, brightening, and anti-aging. By 2029, I foresee the BB cream market continuing to evolve in response to these emerging skincare trends. Brands that embrace clean beauty, inclusivity, and customization will thrive in this rapidly changing landscape, offering consumers innovative products that deliver real results. Let's spark a conversation! What are your thoughts on the impact of emerging skincare trends on the trajectory of the BB cream market? Comment below and let's explore the future of skincare together!

📈Q1 results have been announced, so what’s happening in the market? IRIS Ventures insights below👇🏼 As we navigate through 2024, the beauty industry is not just about aesthetics anymore; it's about wellness and innovation. Unilever Beauty and Wellbeing division leads the way with an impressive 7.2% growth in Q1, highlighting a significant shift from last year's 3.1%. 🇪🇺Over in Europe, Beiersdorf has achieved a striking 20% sales increase in Germany alone, signalling robust regional demand. The story of strong growth in Europe sales is mirrored across major beauty conglomerates, relying on Europe now that Asia is recovering at a slower rate from the pandemic than expected. Diving deeper,🔬science-driven #skincare is experiencing explosive growth, signalled by L'Oréal dermatological brands like La Roche-Posay and CeraVe, which have grown by 21.9% thanks to strong medical endorsements. This robust performance underscores the rising consumer trust in scientifically-backed skincare solutions. In fragrances, the narrative is about luxury and growth. With💄Kering Beauté's latest acquisition of Creed which is projected to reach €300M in sales by next year, the focus on high-end markets, is more strategic than ever. The high-end segment constitutes about 15% of the market and prestige lines are anticipated to grow between 3%-5% within the next three to five years. But it’s not just about external beauty. The shift towards #beautyfromwithin and health-conscious choices is evident across various sectors, from pet food to ☕ready-to-drink coffee, emphasising organic and scientifically supported options. Meanwhile, Nestlé has reported a 6% decline in sales for Q1, attributing this downturn to currency fluctuations and a reduced demand in North America for its 🍕frozen pizza and snack products. This scenario underscores the presence of more health-conscious consumers whose preferences are shifting towards healthier options or plant-based products. This robust evolution of the market signals a new era in consumer goods, one that values comprehensive well-being choices. As we move deeper into the year, a proactive approach is required to understanding consumer expectations in an increasingly interconnected world. Examples of it are some of our brands relevant in the space: Olistic, mammaly | B Corp & Biomel Gut Health ✨ #BeautyIndustry #Wellness #Innovation #MarketTrends #irisinsights

At VOTRE SKINCARE we use creme gels base for our DAY MOISTURISERS with SPF. Crème-gels are a delightfully light product form that helps deliver hydration, emolliency and actives. They don’t need traditional emulsifiers, but instead, as their name suggests, are a cream in a moisturizing-gel form. They’re particularly light in weight and are suited to skin types where heavy emolliency is not desired – those prone to acne or oily skin types, Asian and African/Caribbean skin types and male skin care products. Standard polymers are not usually sufficient to stabilize the high lipid content still used in these product types, so special ‘polymeric emulsifiers’ are used instead. These polymeric emulsifiers are a special blend of polymer + surfactant + lipid that enable stable crème-gels to be formed with a unique sensory profile. The amount to use in formulas is also significantly different to how traditional emulsifiers are used – often, less is best!

#Simplifed is emerging as the new #cleanbeauty for our industry, driven by consumer concerns over #safety. At Suppliers' Day 2024, C&T uncovered #simplifiedbeauty as a top trend, wherin companies were utilizing #less — and #greener — ingredients to not only avoid confusion with consumers (over "clean"), but also #streamline formulating. Common among indie beauty brands, simplified beauty offers #costsaving measures while satisfying consumer needs. Formulating expert Irwin Palefsky highlights that consumers should focus on more than concerns over #ingredientsafety. "What consumers should be demanding is that the products they are using are #safe, #stable, adequately #preserved and provide the #benefits that are claimed and [that] suitable testing has been done to #verify these requirements." #cosmeticscience #formulatingbeauty Learn more about this micro trend here: https://lnkd.in/gMjqX_ta
