Thailand’s ingestible beauty market is expanding, becoming highly competitive, driven by consumer demand for holistic wellness solutions and innovative product formats. Millennials are at the forefront, driving growing demand for beauty supplements, while other generations reveal diverse opportunities.
This Report explores Thailand’s evolving ingestible beauty landscape, with a focus on how beauty products are integrated into daily routines through innovative formats like carbonated drinks and snacks. It examines consumer attitudes, particularly among Gen Zs, who prefer beauty solutions that resemble everyday consumables, thus enhancing their perceived sense of safety and familiarity.
This report looks at the following areas:
- Thai consumer behaviour around holistic beauty, including beauty supplements
- Concerns about beauty supplements’ use
- Interest in beauty supplement formats
- Attitudes towards beauty supplements
- Opportunities in beauty supplements, and overlap between food, drink and beauty
Focus on convenience, effectiveness and consumption experience to integrate ingestible beauty into users' daily routines. This will boost adoption and keep brands competitive.

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton
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
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
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 use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
