German Private Label Beauty Market Overview
Supply chain issues, labour shortages, and high energy costs have caused prices to flare. As a result, consumers are cutting back on spending. For many, own-label products offer a chance to reduce costs. Private label beauty and its premiumisation offer elevated quality and on-trend products while keeping costs low.
Private label beauty products enjoy a good reputation in Germany, which makes it more resilient to inflation induced price rises and thanks to attractive margins, own-label will become a bigger revenue stream for supermarkets.
Private Label Personal Care Trends: What Consumers Want and Why
- The Private Label Beauty Consumer: Changing spending behaviours are increasing the appeal of private label personal care. Women and younger shoppers, especially, are most experimental and are regularly trialling new own-label products, providing brands with plenty of opportunities to broaden their product range.
- German Private Label Beauty Market Trends: 62% of Germans believe that many private label beauty products are produced by well-known beauty and grooming brands which improves the perception of their quality among German consumers.
- Private Label Cosmetics Market Opportunities: 43% of German consumers enjoy the convenience of shopping for their BPC products at the supermarket, however 28% of them consider the product selection too small. German supermarkets can grow their revenues by offering more choice to capitalise on convenience, and to increase their private label beauty market share.

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.
