Metro Young people go cold on traditional cuppa Only 16 per cent of those aged between 25 and 34 drink five sups a day compared with a third of older people, research by Mintel found.

Marketing Week Can Coca-Cola rely on a boost from marketing or must it accept its vulnerability? “The fact that the Government announced plans for a tax on select sugary soft drinks has impacted the carbonated soft drinks market in the UK. The tax drew attention, again, to the sugar content of various drinks, including carbonated soft drinks, which is likely to have dampened demand,” says Kiti Soininen, head of UK food, drink and foodservice research at Mintel.

The Daily Telegraph Online shopping now nation’s favourite way to spend Nick Carroll, a retail analyst from Mintel, said: “Online-only shops are on the rise for a number of reasons including smartphone use and greater investment in the returns process.

Financial Times UK cinemas go upmarket with menus and loungers “Premium and super-premium has long been seen as the holy grail in terms of increasing revenues for cinema operators, but no one has really made it work yet,” said Michael Oliver, leisure analyst at Mintel.

The Independent Natural makeup and skincare: The rise of organic beauty products The trend is strong and more and more consumers are turning to it; overall, beauty products from Mintel Natural and Organic Toiletries are reporting a 24 per cent compound annual sales growth rate over the past four years – significantly outpacing the 2.7 per cent growth for the total beauty category.

The Times Patients left with ruined teeth as cosmetic dentists get rich quick Spending on cosmetic dental treatment, which is unavailable through the NHS, has increased by 37 per cent from £1.75 billion in 2012 to £2.4 billion so far in 2016 and now accounts for a quarter of the industry’s expenditure — up from 21 per cent in 2012, according to a report published by Mintel last month.

The Economist Down but not out Although tour operators were hit hard by the advent of LCCs in 1990s—which encouraged people to book their own flights and hotels—the market for packaged trips in Europe is expanding again. It may rise more than 10% by 2020 forecasts Mintel, a market-research firm.

The Guardian Tui profit forecast holds as bookings rise Analysts at Mintel had predicted more growth in independent city breaks rather than package holidays this year, but Fergal McGivney, travel analyst for the market research firm, says any recession might alter the outlook.

City A.M. Cheers: Bellfield Brewery, the UK’s first dedicated gluten-free craft microbrewery, has secured distribution across the UK Research group Mintel said earlier this year the sales of free-from foods are forecast to grow 13 per cent to reach £531m in 2016, up from an estimated £470m in 2015.

US

The Washington Post The surprising reason many Americans are skipping the bar of soap It may not be all bad news for bar soap. More than 60 percent of consumers said they might consider buying “premium” varieties of the item, which could help companies reclaim lost business, according to Margie Nanninga, a beauty analyst for Mintel.

Chicago Tribune Sales of bar soap down as consumers turn to liquids “A broader variety of scents can help bar soap brands tap into the success of aromatherapy claims, positioning lemon as an energizing scent or amber as a relaxing fragrance,” said Margie Nanninga, a beauty analyst for Mintel, adding that brands may also begin offering bar soap in “a greater variety of shapes.”

Wall Street Journal Men, It’s OK to Enjoy Shaving Now Men are becoming more sensitive—at least when it comes to how their skin feels during a shave. More men rank shaving creams and aftershave products that reduce irritation or soothe the skin as just as important to them as products that promise a close shave, according to a Mintel study released last year (also appeared in print on the front page of the Personal Journal Aug. 4).

Crain’s Chicago Will Brazilians take to mac ‘n’ cheese? Kraft looks overseas for growth While the company’s international strategy alone isn’t likely to be enough to reverse those trends in the short term, leveraging Heinz’s international infrastructure and in-market expertise to sell Kraft’s time-tested products “feels like it’s an obvious and expected decision,” says Lynn Dornblaser, director of innovation and insight at market research firm Mintel.

Forbes Brands That Understand The Stress Of Back To School Will Win When shopping for back to school, parents are looking for the easiest, cost-friendly ways to shop. Convenience is huge for parents. “Today shoppers are expected to get products through the most convenient means without paying more” – 2016 Mintel Shopping Report.

National Public Radio A Swimmer’s ‘Period’ Comment Breaks Taboos In Sports — And In China A Los Angeles Times article published in March reported that Chinese manufacturers made 85 billion sanitary napkins last year but not a single tampon — and that tampons “made up just 2.5 percent of the $7.6 billion sanitary pad market,” according to the research firm Mintel.

CNBC No, we haven’t reached peak pumpkin…yet “A key reason pumpkin remains popular year over year, is the fact that it remains a truly seasonal ingredient,” Diana Kelter, a foodservice analyst at Mintel, told CNBC. “Other classic fall ingredients, such as sweet potatoes and apples, have become common staples throughout the year, but pumpkin is consistently reserved for the fall which keeps the demand for it high.”

Wall Street Journal Chinese Head to the Web to Buy Imported Baby Formula The rise of retail internet platforms is allowing parents from smaller cities in China, who previously had limited access to foreign formula markets, to buy offshore products, said Yujing Li, a senior analyst at Mintel Reports in China. That has lifted market penetration of foreign products.

American Marketing Association The Future of Cash: Should Marketers Plan for Mobile Payments? An additional 18% of consumers would use mobile payments if more stores accepted it, Mintel reports. In all, 28% say they believe the technology is the “payment method of the future.” Bryant Harland, senior technology analyst at Mintel, says services such as Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay have led to greater adoption of the technology in the past year.

CNBC Credit cards gaining steam (again) Last year, lenders sent out just over 4 billion card offers in the mail, according to research from Mintel Comperemedia. Offers peaked at 6 billion in 2005 and hit a post-recession low of 1.8 billion in 2009.

MarketWatch When millennials fly, they don’t want to say hi Half of Americans try to avoid airline personnel by using electronic and online alternatives, and Millennials (61%) are the most likely to favor this approach, according to new research from Mintel.
