Prestige BPC Market Outlook

Sales in the prestige BPC market are expected to continue to increase in 2024, despite a challenging economic environment. While those who buy prestige products are buying fewer, the prestige beauty market has attracted new users and demand for prestige is being driven by ‘quiet luxury’ trends, as well as recovering financial confidence.

  • Prestige beauty market size: Mintel estimates that retail value sales of prestige BPC products reached £3.4 billion in 2023.

Prestige Beauty Market: Challenges and Opportunities

Secure loyalty amidst ‘dupes’

As more consumers enter the prestige BPC market, they become committed due to experiencing the benefits. However, value-conscious consumers may opt for cheaper alternatives due to the ‘dupe’ culture emerging in the prestige beauty market. Brands therefore must demonstrate value and offer convenient purchasing options.

  • Prestige beauty market research: 42% of prestige BPC buyers have purchased a ‘dupe’ version of their favourite product.

Demand for fine fragrances

The prestige fragrance category was the leading segment in the prestige BPC market. However, ‘dupe culture’ is also prevalent in the fragrance category. To combat this, new and established fine fragrance brands can create affordable entry-level formats for new consumers.

  • Prestige beauty market size: Mintel forecasts that the fragrance market value sales reached £1.3 billion in 2023.

Trusted by global industry leaders

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.

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.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon

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

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.

Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman

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.
