Trend for 2027: from product to system

Technological upheavals, climate pressures, economic instability, geopolitical tensions… Faced with an increasingly unpredictable world, consumers are seeking to regain control.

For the first time, the firm is applying this theme to five sectors, including beauty and wellbeing.

Oral hygiene is adopting beauty standards

Ingredients used in skincare, promises of softness… Oral care is increasingly drawing inspiration from the world of beauty. This is highlighted in “The New Era of Oral Care”, the latest report published by Spate, a trend analysis platform, focusing on the U.S. market.

This is demonstrated by the study “The Impact of Beauty”, carried out by Oxford Economics on behalf of the British Beauty Council (an organisation representing the British beauty industry, ed.), with the support of L’Oréal Group.

They switch between the two channels depending on what they are looking for, without any particular loyalty to one sales channel over another. Their main aim is to be sure of their choice before making a purchase. This is revealed in Beauty Decoded, the latest study by Nielsen IQ.
