A Year of Innovation in the Baby Personal Care Market 2023

A Year of Innovation - What's Included
  • Multiple Report Formats
  • Custom Presentation Tool

Explore the latest global innovations across the baby care products industry in 2023. Our global baby personal care market report identifies the biggest launch activities, pivotal consumer attitudes and important advances of the year across regions like EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.

Innovation in Baby Personal Care – EMEA

Value for money is a high priority for UK parents, creating an opportunity for private label retailers to ramp up innovation. Value positioning is key to attracting customers, but the focus shouldn’t solely be on low prices. Innovation should also focus on the parental interest in natural, vitamin-enriched and ‘free-from’ formulas.

  • 54% of UK parents of 0-4 year olds agree that value for money has become a higher priority for them since the COVID-19 outbreak.

Innovation in Baby Personal Care – APAC

The emergence of pre and probiotic baby personal care formulas reflects the growing consumer interest in skin health. Parents are looking for and willing to pay more for products that will support their babies’ skin microbiome. In baby sun care, parents’ concerns around the use of chemicals needs to be addressed, and reassurances around safety should be provided through improved marketing and communication.

  • 42% of Chinese parents of children aged 0-3 say they haven’t bought baby sun care because it ‘contains chemical ingredients’.

Innovation in Baby Personal Care – Americas

Parents are willing to pay a premium for baby care products with wellness benefits, in particular aromatherapy. A focus on relaxation and sleep-aid is already key in the soap and bath products category, and brands should look to expand on this and innovate around baby wellbeing. 

  • 84% of US parents are interested in/willing to pay more for products that promote the emotional wellbeing of babies (e.g. soothing scent).

Trusted by global industry leaders

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group

We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.

Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.

Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon
