Essential reading for both beauty insiders and those wanting an instant overview of a successful and growing industry sector. For the first time in its 18-year history, The Premium Market Report has partnered with acclaimed research organisation YouGov to produce exclusive consumer research targeting the UK beauty consumer. And for the first time, analysis is available on consumer purchasing behaviour and attitudes towards premium beauty products. Two key themes are explored in the report with some surprising results: Whether consumers are spending more, less, or the same on beauty products in 2010 compared to last year, when the UK was officially in recession. The real reasons that consumers buy fragrance when purchasing for themselves. The research examines the impact of the recession on consumer purchasing of skincare, make-up and fragrance. And it is fragrance that appears to be the first beauty item to suffer in a recession. Two fifths of women said they have cut back their spend on fragrance from themselves in the past year.
