Overview: Germany Beauty and Personal Care Retailing

According to Mintel’s beauty and personal care market report, the Germany beauty and personal care industry proves more resilient to inflation than other markets and showed a healthy growth in 2022. Merely the ecommerce channel has seen a slight decline in sales as consumers return to in-store shopping.

While traditional retailers benefit from customers returning to physical shops after pandemic-related closures, consumers’ buying habits are affected by a new sensitivity to hygiene, which is challenging traditional in-store testers. The ability to test products is a key reason to shop at a particular retailer, and many consumers have reported that not being able to test a product in store creates a purchase barrier for them.

Beauty and Personal Care Germany Market Forecast: What Consumers Want and Why

In the light of rising prices and squeezed incomes, consumers are looking for ways to uplift themselves. Thus, the lipstick effect strengthens the Germany beauty and personal care industry as consumers look for affordable ways to indulge. Germany’s BPC consumers are using a variety of cost-cutting measures, such as switching to less expensive brands or using fewer products. This is leading to more streamlined beauty routines as a new trend for minimalism emerges in beauty.

To maintain beauty and personal care market growth, retailers will have to match consumers’ expectations of a seamless online/offline shopping experience by introducing fast click-and-collect services or new technologies to test and try products.

Beauty and Personal Care Market Forecast and Opportunities

Convenient services like click-and-collect can reduce other pain points in Germany beauty and personal care retailing, keeping local shops attractive to consumers.

Brands can further environmentally friendly shopping habits through solutions like refill stations.
