Managing Skin Conditions - UK - July 2017

“A poorly-funded health service means those with skin conditions are becoming more self-sufficient; diagnosing their own ailments and looking for organic solutions to fit their lifestyle. This could create opportunities for the non-prescription market to develop more natural products, or extend into segments previously off-limits due to skin sensitivity. Retailers could be key to building trust with these shoppers through in-store expertise and a more tailored service.” Explains Alex Fisher, Senior Beauty Analyst at Mintel.

This Report discusses the following key topics:

  • The pros and cons of self-diagnosis.
  • A call for more natural solutions.
  • The role of in-store specialists.

 

OTC Analgesics - UK - July 2017

“A need to keep going at work is helping to keep the value of the category afloat, but it is increasingly under threat from consumers trading down to generic painkillers. Some adults are also turning to alternative methods of pain relief, potentially taking them away from buying OTC remedies, which suggests that brands could regain trust and engagement by promoting a more holistic approach to pain management.” Says Lucy Cornford, Category Director – Personal Care at Mintel.

This report will cover the following areas:

  • Nurofen fall-out continues to echo.
  • Promoting a holistic approach to pain management.

 

UK Oral Care market report – UK - July 2017

“As a hygiene essential, the category continues to experience some growth in the face of price promotions. However, a reduction in oral care routines is undermining true growth potential, with mouthwash falling from favour. A focus on reinvigorating interest in mouth washing through new usage propositions could benefit the overall category, whilst the continued alignment of oral care with beauty can boost interest and spend amongst a younger, more appearance-focussed audience.” Says Hera Crossan, Personal Care Analyst at Mintel.

This Report discusses the following key topics:

  • The evolution of whitening.
  • Boosting mouthwash usage.
  • Cutting through the noise.

 

Cough, Cold, Flu and Allergy Remedies - UK - May 2017

“Modern lifestyles are continuing to take their toll on consumer health. A need to power through at work not only increases the demand for products that can alleviate the symptoms of coughs and colds, but also helps spread those coughs and colds through the workplace, whilst climate change and exposure to a wider range of exotic ingredients are impacting on allergy rates. Understanding of colds, flu and allergies is lower amongst under-35s, who are the most likely to be experiencing these ailments, suggesting that brands could be doing more to ensure young adults are seeking out the correct treatment for their needs.” Explains Lucy Cornford, Category Director – Personal Care at Mintel.

This report examines the following issues:

  • Powering through colds and flu.
  • Modern life and allergies.
