Overview of Beauty Influencers in Germany
Due to the cost-of-living crisis, many consumers are hesitant to spend money on non-essential purchases.
While the BPC category benefits from the lipstick-effect, ‘influencer fatigue’ and ‘deinfluencing’ have grown during times of financial crisis, as influencers have become synonymous with overconsumption. Therefore, BPC brands need to rethink their influencer marketing strategies.
Germany Influencer Marketing: What Consumers Want and Why
- Consumer Behaviour: 38% of BPC buyers do their own online research prior to purchasing a product. Influencers’ reviews are a key resource in their customer journey. This is evidenced by the 46% of Germans who have bought a product an influencer they follow advertised.
- The ‘Deinfluencing’ Trend: While beauty influencers and educators will continue to play an important role in pre-purchase research, the current ‘deinfluencing’ trend is underscoring this development. Moreover, consumers are becoming more discerning about who they follow and are demanding more diversity in influencer marketing in Germany and the BPC industry overall.
- Influencers in Germany and Authenticity: Today’s consumers value authenticity and credibility. This means that brands need to ensure that whoever they partner with has credibility with their target audience. With demand for more diversity increasing, 22% of 16 to 44-year-old social media users want to see more unique beauty influencers. Using more relatable spokespeople will be beneficial, as they help attract more followers.

What goes into a Mintel Market Intelligence Report?
Curious about how a Market Intelligence report comes together? We like to think of it as building a detailed puzzle. We start with individual pieces: data from consumers, market statistics, industry trends, and online conversations. Then our expert analysts add world-class human insight and industry knowledge. The pieces are assembled to reveal a clear, comprehensive picture of a market.
The Four Pillars of Our Research
We use a combination of four main research methods when creating our reports, each adding a valuable perspective:
- Consumer Research: Direct surveys with real people, giving us clear, current insights into what people think and do.
- Desk Research: In-depth review of trusted data sources. We use this rich database, plus powerful internal tools that track new products and market sizes, to detect trends and guide forecasts.
- Trade Research: Insights from conversations with industry experts. Their real-world experience helps us understand what’s happening behind the scenes.
- Brand and Social Media Research: Analysis of online opinions and trends. This lets us spot trends, measure brand sentiment, and capture feedback in real time, adding further depth to our research.
Bringing It All Together
Each of these four pillars provides a different piece of the puzzle. Consumer research tells us what customers think, desk research provides the factual framework, trade research offers an insider’s view, and social media analysis reveals public sentiment.
Our expert analysts are skilled in weaving these diverse data streams together. They apply a range of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques to uncover the deeper story, connecting the dots to deliver clear, actionable insights. This comprehensive, multi-layered process is how we transform raw data into a market intelligence report you can trust to inform your most important business decisions.
