"As most Millennials navigate their 30s and early 40s, brands can help them manage growing responsibilities and challenges with greater confidence."
Francesca Smith, Principal Consumer Lifestyles Analyst
This report provides a comprehensive look at the evolving needs and priorities of Millennials in the UK. This generation is currently navigating both early adulthood and midlife, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for brands. This report underscores the importance of aligning with Millennials’ priorities of financial stability, health, and social wellbeing to effectively engage this key demographic. Millennials are consumers born between 1980-1996. For the research in this report, Millennials are 29-44-year-olds.
Half of Millennials who don’t currently have children don’t want them in the future. Birth rates have been steadily declining over the past decade, and especially among women under 35. Whether driven by a desire to pursue other opportunities, the financial cost of raising a child, or concerns over raising children in modern society, these choices reflect a growing diversity in life priorities.
Millennials have a growing number of financial responsibilities and they report less positive financial wellbeing than all Brits. Many have been left financially scarred from the cost of living crisis and building up financial resilience is a major priority, now and in the future.
Millennials are now firmly in early adulthood and midlife, and the majority are looking forward to the next 10 years. There are opportunities for brands to help Millennials navigate the future, whether that is taking a holistic approach to anti-ageing or creating communities for them around life stages or shared interests to combat loneliness in the future.

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.
We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
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.
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.
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.
