In this report, we explore how millennials are reshaping the beauty sector. Currently, millennials in the US and the UK spend less on beauty than older generations do, largely because they have lower incomes. A majority of millennials prefer to buy beauty products in- store, and they expect to have the same experience in- store as they do online. The generation is more likely than older generations to research beauty products online and they use social media more actively as part of the shopping experience. As the “selfie generation,” millennials have made makeup the fastest-growing cosmetics category globally, according to L’Oréal. In the coming years, millennials will be more likely than older generations to buy all-natural beauty products. Price is a key purchase driver for millennials shopping for beauty products, and they are more likely than older shoppers to both visit different stores in order to get the best deals and use coupon codes when buying beauty products.

However, we incorporate notableregional and global data where appropriate. The main emphasis of thisreport is on the retailing of beauty products, but we cover millennials’impact on the beauty industry as a whole, too. Specifically, this reportexamines:

• Millennials’ growing importance to the global beauty market:Globally, the beauty product market has the potential to double invalue in the coming 10–15 years, a period during which millennials’spendingpowerwillincrease.

• Millennials’ cross-channel approach to beauty shopping: Themillennialgenerationexpectstohavethesameshoppingexperienceindifferentsaleschannelsandisdrivingtheconvergenceofnewchannelsofcommunication,commerceandservice.

MILLENNIALSSPENDLESSTHANOTHERAGEGROUPSONBEAUTY

Itwouldbereasonabletoassumethatyoungerconsumersspendthemoston beauty products. But, in fact, data for the US and the UK show thatmillennials tend to spend less than other age groups do, except for theoldestgroup(thoseaged75andover).

Below, we show data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2014Consumer Expenditure Survey (latest available), which shows averagehouseholdexpenditureonpersonalcareproductsandservicesbyageofthehead of household. This survey indicates that younger households spendless on personal care products and services than do almost all olderhouseholds.

Thepatternofmillennialsspendinglessthanotheragegroupsisalsoborneout by data from the UK. According to British online beauty retailerEscentual, in2015,Britishwomenages19–24spent£1,759 (US$2,689)onbeauty products, on average, and women ages 25–34 spent £2,045(US$3,126)onaverage.Bothgroupsspentless,onaverage,thandidotheragegroups.Womenages45–54spentthemostonbeautyproducts,£2,238(US$3,421).

In total, women ages 19–34 (which broadly matches our definition ofmillennials) accounted for 32.9% of total UK beauty spending by womenages 19–64. Escentual’s figures exclude women under the age of 19 andovertheageof64,sothespendingbyagegroupdoesnotreflecttheactualshare of spending of the total population. However, we estimate thatmillennials accounted forapproximatelyone-thirdofbeautyproduct salesintheUKin2015.

WhyDoMillennialsUnderspendonBeauty?

One reason millennials tend to underspend other age groups is becauseyounger consumers tend to earn less.

CHANGINGBEAUTYTRENDS

According to L’Oréal, in 2015,makeupwas the fastest-growing cosmeticscategory globally for the third year running. The growth was largelyinfluenced by millennials’ interest in taking selfies and sharing them onsocialmedia.

The NPDGroup notes that the growing trend of focusing on living in themoment comes at the cost of anti-aging skincare. The segment was thefastest-growingcosmeticscategoryinthelastdecade,butitssalesgrowthisslowingdown.

As discussed in our reportMillennials and Grocery, millennials are healthconsciousandoftenpreferbuyingorganicandnaturalproductswhentheyareavailable.
