2022 - Cosmetics and Skincare Drive Growth

In the special collaborative report for CTPA on the GB market from Kantar Worldpanel and Circana, Tim Nancholas, Strategic Insight Director - Health and Beauty, Kantar Worldpanel commented:

"2022 saw a better performance for the toiletry and beauty markets after a tough post COVID 2021. The industry is now worth £8.94 billion up 5.4% year on year, this is a considerable improvement from a -1.6% decline 2021 v 2020. Some inflation boosted this top line performance as we see actual packs purchased down 2.4%, so we should not get too excited!"
 

"Standout categories were the beauty markets with cosmetics growing 9.3% year on year closely followed by skincare at 8.4%. Fragrance also performed well with an 8% increase in value but could still do better at the crucial Christmas period. Haircare, with our changing usage, struggled with growth of 1.5% and the rest of toiletries at 1.2% year on year, below the inflation rate.

"Given the challenge of less spending power in the population, we can consider 2022 a reasonably good year. Whilst value will be important in 2023, we still want to pamper and treat ourselves and we are prepared to shop around for the best bargains."
