Mintel in the Media is a weekly review, bringing together a selection of the most high profile press stories showcasing Mintel’s data and analysis from around the world. Highlights from the past weeks include:
US
Time Magazine: Here’s what you should know about going gluten-free. Last year, Mintel reported that just 15% of Americans said they ate gluten-free foods. “We’ve seen exponential growth every year that we’ve written a report,” says Mintel food analyst Amanda Topper. “This huge health halo is the majority of what’s driving it.”
Wall Street Journal: $450 credit cards: Should you pay for premium plastic? Revenue-hungry lenders have ramped up their pitches for fee-based credit cards this year. In the third quarter, 23% of the reward-card solicitations mailed to consumers were for cards that charge an annual fee, up from 20% in the second quarter and 17% a year prior, according to Mintel Comperemedia, a Chicago-based firm that tracks credit-card mail offers.
MarketWatch: Is a premium credit card worth it? Revenue-hungry lenders have ramped up their pitches for fee-based credit cards this year. In the third quarter, 23% of the reward-card solicitations mailed to consumers were for cards that charge an annual fee, up from 20% in the second quarter and 17% a year prior, according to Mintel Comperemedia, a Chicago-based firm that tracks credit-card mail offers.
MarketWatch: Detergent pods are dangerous—and expensive. Laundry detergents are one of the most expensive ongoing household product purchases, Mintel found. More than half of laundry detergent users said they buy in bulk to save money — another reason for declining sales — and nearly 3 in 10 said they wait to buy until a preferred brand goes on sale, while 1 in 4 said they buy whatever is on sale.
Washington Post: Your beard is killing the shaving industry. “Facial hair is a lot more acceptable now, especially in the workplace. It’s no longer required that everyone shave every single day,” said Gabriela Elani, a personal care analyst with market researcher Mintel. In a survey last year, she said, just half of men said they were daily shavers.
NASDAQ: $450 credit cards: Should you pay for premium plastic? Revenue-hungry lenders have ramped up their pitches for fee-based credit cards this year. In the third quarter, 23% of the reward-card solicitations mailed to consumers were for cards that charge an annual fee, up from 20% in the second quarter and 17% a year prior, according to Mintel Comperemedia, a Chicago-based firm that tracks credit-card mail offers.
NASDAQ: Will your child be priced out of a college education? A recent survey conducted by Mintel corroborated these concerns in a poll of more than 2,000 adult Americans. In its study, just one in five people thought it was a smart idea to take out a student loan to get a college education in hopes of landing a well-paying job. To add context to these figures, more than half of all respondents in 2012 believed a student loan was a smart investment.
Yahoo! Finance: $450 credit cards: Should you pay for premium plastic? Revenue-hungry lenders have ramped up their pitches for fee-based credit cards this year. In the third quarter, 23% of the reward-card solicitations mailed to consumers were for cards that charge an annual fee, up from 20% in the second quarter and 17% a year prior, according to Mintel Comperemedia, a Chicago-based firm that tracks credit-card mail offers.
Fast Company: Can a $200 beard-growing kit make you cool? We gave it a try. Between 2009 and 2013, the number of men with face fuzz increased 21%, and men’s grooming products in general are booming: Research firm Mintel has estimated the category could hit $3.2 billion in sales by 2016, as compared to $2.2 billion in 2006.
Fast Company: Inside the booming Korean skincare market. In addition to its preventative approach, the Korean beauty philosophy is to use natural ingredients that align with “hanbang,” Korean medicinal theories using herbal ingredients such as ginseng, bamboo, green tea, and traditional processes like fermentation, a new trend in processing ingredients to allow for better absorption, says Diane Park, beauty analyst at global market research firm Mintel.
Advertising Age: E-commerce is so huge now in China, some brands skip opening an actual store. In 2009, e-commerce represented 3% of total retail in China, and in 2014 it’s projected to hit 15.4 %, at $409 billion, according to the Mintel research firm. The size of the Chinese e-commerce sector surpassed that of the U.S. last year, Mintel said.
Advertising Age:Five takeaways from Alibaba’s record-busting $9.3 billion shopping fest. China is the world’s No. 1 e-commerce market now, after surpassing the United States last year, according to Mintel. Alibaba owns a small U.S. e-commerce site called 11 Main, but it didn’t take part in the discount sale.
Daily Finance: SodaStream switches focus from soda to sparkling water. We’re still drinking, just not sugary carbonated beverages. SodaStream brought up data from Beverage Digest and marketing research firm Mintel that shows a 33 percent surge in the sparkling water category in this country last year, with flavored sparkling water sales soaring by 62 percent.
Men’s Health: Why National Men Make Dinner day is ridiculous. Fifty-seven percent of men reported that they “typically cook because” they “want to,” according to a 2014 Mintel survey.
Prevention Magazine: Looking to eat clean? Then you need this new app. Data from research firm Mintel show that unregulated food packaging claims have risen drastically since 2009. Take, for example, the vague and unstandardized “all natural,” which now appears on 27% more products than it did 5 years ago.
UT San Diego: Personal stylists aren’t just for the rich. Market research firm Mintel says 18 percent of women aged 18-34 who have bought clothes for themselves in the last year said they look to others for advice on fashion and style.

Dessert pizza has increased 67 percent from the second quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2014.
Dairy Foods: Cheesemakers focus on bold flavors, nutrition labels and snacking. The greatest growth potential in the cheese category could come from highlighting the nutritional benefits, in particular the protein content, said the IDDBA’s Johnson, noting that Chicago-based Mintel has reported 55% of consumers agree that cheese is an inexpensive source of protein.
Store Brands Magazine: Wise up to senior needs. After a lifetime of experience as consumers, this group also places a high priority on customer service, states global market research firm Mintel in its December 2013 “Senior Lifestyles — US” report. Seniors value having a personal relationship with the businesses they chose to patronize.
CSP Magazine: Avoiding the cocoa chasm. “People are set in their way with their brand loyalty, which does not waver much, so not many ever switch,” said Marcia Mogelensky, food and drink analyst for Mintel.
Meat & Poultry: Keeping it safe and savory. A Mintel survey from 2013 found 54 percent of US consumers look at the sodium content listed on the Nutrition Facts Panel of packaged foods, said Stephanie Pauk, global food science analyst for Mintel, at the Institute of Food Technologists’ Wellness 14 event held this past March in Chicago. Another 49 percent specifically look for “reduced/no/low sodium/salt” on the panel, according to the survey.
Meat & Poultry: Mintel: Gluten free will hit $8.8 billion in sales in 2014. The market for gluten-free products may be changing, according to Mintel.

Beverage Industry: Almond milk leads growth in the dairy alternatives segment. Plus, nearly two in five respondents to Mintel’s survey said they are interested in more sophisticated milk flavors.
Fast Casual: Customization, versatility driving the Asian food segment.

Food Processing: Plant based meat products: going beyond meat. Today’s consumers are more likely than ever to enjoy meatless products for their flavor, and to serve them alongside meat products, Mintel says.
Perishable News: Gluten-free foods surge 63% in last two years. “Overall, the gluten-free food market continues to thrive off those who must maintain a gluten-free diet for medical reasons, as well as those who perceive gluten-free foods to be healthier or more natural,” says Amanda Topper, food analyst at Mintel.

According to the global market-research firm Mintel, the popularity of services such as Birchbox (others include Beautyfix and Test Tube in the U.S., Topbox in Canada and JolieBox in Britain, not to mention other membership services supplying monthly samples of everything from beer and spirits to meat) is likely linked to statistics showing consumer desire to try new things while also being able to purchase them in an easy-to-access location.

The Times: Family time and Facebook friends beat drink and drugs for today’s teenagers. Young people under 35 would rather start their own business than a family, a survey found.

Daily Mail: Memo to Labour: It’s not your leader who’s the problem, it’s your policies, writes DOMINIC LAWSON. According to the retail analyst Mintel, this might be caused by the fact that ‘cheese has had its critics in terms of the high levels of fat and salt’.
