The UK Attitudes Towards Beauty and Grooming Routines report identifies consumer attitudes towards beauty routines, attitudes towards men’s grooming routines, and changes in the beauty rituals market in the UK. This market report covers the market size, market forecast, market segmentation and industry trends for the Beauty and Grooming market in the UK.
Any suggestion that wellness fatigue has set in is unfounded, with women in particular valuing the wellness and confidence-boosting merits of beauty routines. Many women who buy and use beauty and personal care products have made changes to their routines since the COVID-19 outbreak to make them feel more confident.
The rising cost of living will impact beauty and grooming routines, with the rising price of BPC products resulting in some savvy shopping behaviours which may impact repertoires.
One of the biggest threats to beauty and grooming routines is the shift to hybrid working since the pandemic, spurred on by COVID-19. This is because people tend to have a more relaxed approach to their beauty routines on work-from-home days. Opportunities, however, exist for beauty/personal care brands to address and mitigate any negative impact on routines from hybrid working.
The spotlight on climate change will inspire disruptive innovation that helps consumers carry out their beauty/grooming routines in a more sustainable manner, while increasing companies’ profit margins. Brands can instil a more circular economy approach to routines, and pre-empt the impact of rising temperatures and water shortages on beauty routines. For example, expect increased demand for cooling, low foam/fast rinse and leave-in formulas. Transparency around a brand’s eco credentials will also be key.

This report, written by Rosalia Di Gesu, a leading analyst in the Beauty and Personal Care sector, delivers in-depth commentary and analysis to highlight current trends and add expert context to the numbers.
Pent-up demand in Q1 2022 will help drive consumer engagement with beauty/grooming routines, especially for those daily routines which have foundered since the start of the pandemic, notably applying makeup. There are opportunities to further boost consumer engagement with beauty/grooming routines by boldly conveying the confidence-boosting and wellness merits of following routines, as well as targeting new usage occasions linked to hybrid working approaches.”

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.
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.
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
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.
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.
From consumer reports to customised growth strategies. We have an option to suit your business requirements.
