A new year and host of new issues and opportunities are set to impact the global household and personal products industry. Kline Group has issued its Top Trends to Watch in 2017 across industries and regions. Specifically, Kline zeroes in on six topics:
• Bio...Trends
• Beauty
• Beauty & Health
• Chemicals & Materials
• Energy and
• I&I Cleaning
Bio trends are impacting formulation decisions as more chemists turn to natural personal care ingredients to meet consumer demand, according to the Parsippany, NJ-based consulting and research company. Couple that with consumers' holistic approach to health and beauty, think farm-to-face, and there are opportunities galore in this growing category. That attitude has spread to household cleaners, where eco-friendly formulas continue to make gains, as witnessed by Unilever's recent acquisition of Seventh Generation.
In Beauty, indies continue to roll and men's grooming is making gains (US professional hair care products for guys rose 9% this year). Elsewhere, the creation of beauty apps continues to soar, while limited edition products are gaining in popularity. Finally, demand for K-beauty shows no slgn of slowing, as sales of Korean beauty products rose 27% in the US this year.
Within health & beauty, pain managment device sales rose 10% this year—three times faster than OTC internal analgesics. Sales of natural nutritional OTC soared 30% in 2016, according to Kline. Elsewhere, beauty device LED surpassed sonic technology, while acne devices are now growing faster than cleansing devices.
Formulators are taking a special interest in specialty personal care ingredients, too. According to Kline, the segment has added more than 5% market share growth since 2014.
