Conditioners and Treatments - Europe - July 2011

Conditioners and Treatments - Europe - July 2011

"Currently it is the youngest women (ie under-25s and students) who are prepared to pay the most for conditioners (products costing €/£10 or more). This is because they are most likely to need extra nourishing products to care for heat-damaged hair, thanks to their use of hair straighteners. But this age group is also the most likely to reject the type of hair treatments that offer deep conditioning because they find them time-consuming and inconvenient to use. Hair treatments are unlikely to see increased popularity among this time-pressed younger age group unless they can be formulated to work even more quickly, or left to work (mess-free) overnight."

– Michelle Strutton, Senior Consumer Analyst

Some noteworthy points in the European Conditioners and Hair Treatment report include:

£1,999.01

  • The key European conditioners markets remained lacklustre in 2010, but with signs of improving demand.
  • Thanks to a general eco beauty trend witnessed across C&T markets, conditioners formulated using botanical and herbal components take centre stage in new product development.
  • Women are increasingly aware of their individual hair condition, problems and haircare needs, which has created more demand for ever more specifically tailored products, with a focus on repairing and moisturising properties.
  • Conditioner use is geared towards women aged under-25, higher earners, the working population and larger households with children.
  • There remain important opportunities in expanding the current consumer base amongst men, who post a significantly lower product penetration level in comparison to women, and baby boomers who could be better targeted with anti-ageing conditioners.
  • The majority of women spend up to €/£4.99 on a single conditioner purchase.

The products covered in this report include conditioners and treatments for the hair, for both men and women. Conditioners may be wash-out or leave-in formulations, while treatments are serums, creams, lotions, sprays and masks are more intensive products that are generally left on the hair for times ranging from three minutes to overnight.
