In the UK, 60% of adults who have taken beauty supplements in the last 12 months noticed a difference in their skin/hair/nails after taking beauty supplements. This means consumers who are buying into the category are seeing a return on their investment, which brands can promote in marketing campaigns, and suggests there is potential for significant growth in the category moving forward.
A significant threat to the category lies in the lack of trust in beauty supplements. Furthermore, consumers’ shift towards integrating whole foods into their diets instead of relying solely on beauty supplements presents another hurdle that brands must overcome.
However, crossovers with F&D and a focus on gut health present exciting growth opportunities in the category. By building trust through the development of innovative beauty supplements that deliver proven results (particularly with pre/pro/postbiotic ingredients, collagen-boosting broths and treat formats), brands can drive sales, diversify revenue streams and expand their market share.
The beauty supplement category has strong potential to be a staple in daily diets, driven by a rising interest in holistic and anti-ageing solutions.

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.
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.
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
