Understand the forces reshaping consumer decision-making and identify opportunities for growth in 2027.
Consumers across EMEA are navigating increasingly complex economic, technological and social changes.
Beauty innovation has split into two models: rapid, culturally responsive launches that convert attention into trial, and slower, science-led development that creates defensible value and builds worlds consumers want to belong to. In the future, growth will come from matching the pace of innovation to the consumer need, rather than treating speed or retail presence as the strategy itself.
Across two keynote sessions at the Marketing Trends Theatre, Mintel will explore how evolving consumer needs, wellness expectations, advanced science and category innovation are shaping the next stage of beauty and personal care in APAC and beyond.
