Beauty Tools Market: Current Outlook

Beauty Tools Market: Challenges and Opportunities

Greater focus on men

A lack of engagement with beauty and grooming devices, tools and accessories amongst men poses a threat to the grooming and beauty tools market. Brands and retailers can combat this by challenging stigmas and creating products specifically aimed at these demographics.

  • Beauty tools market opportunity: 54% of consumers agree that there should be a broader range of devices marketed towards men.

Demand for easier to use products

A vast majority of consumers desire products that are easy to hold. There has been innovation in the beauty tool market aimed at those who have particular disabilities, but this indicates that there is a wider appetite for this kind of innovation, highlighting that this is a more general issue in the category.

  • Beauty tools market statistics: 78% of buyers of electrical/non-electrical products look for ones that are easy to hold.

Expert Insights from a BPC Analyst

This report, written by Maddie Malone, a leading research analyst, delivers in-depth commentary and analysis to highlight trends in the beauty tools market and add expert context to the numbers.

The value of the beauty and grooming devices, tools and accessories category continued to grow in 2022, supported by a continued preference for products that enhance efficacy in BPC. Rising energy bills present an opportunity for brands within the electrical space to drive trading-up behaviours by emphasising the longer-term benefits that come with purchasing an energy-efficient device over a regular alternative.”

Trusted by global industry leaders

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

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.

Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML

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.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

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.
