U.S. Beauty and Retail Trends

The Top Trends in U.S. Beauty and Retail

Beauty showed a quick turnaround in 2021, with retail sales increasing across all product classes except toiletries. The dollar volume was largely driven by increased prices and less promotional activity in certain product classes such as makeup. As inflation is broadening, growth will be slightly slower in 2022 and the coming years.

Brands continued to extend across product categories in a stronger way. Consumers established a more positive attitude toward dermatologists, turning to professionals for their expertise more frequently. This helped bring in more support for skin care, as well as hair care brands.

The retail environment celebrated the return of foot traffic to stores, and luxury brands began to diversify by entering non-traditional channels through newly formed partnerships, such as Ulta x Target and Sephora x Kohl’s.
E-commerce remained a core focus for most marketers.

Download this report as it spotlights the current and future trends that are driving the beauty industry forward based on key insights from Kline's recently published in-depth reports - Cosmetics & Toiletries USA and Beauty Retailing USA.

I&I Cleaning Wipes Key Trends, Changes, and Opportunities featured image

I&I Cleaning Wipes: Key Trends, Changes, and Opportunities

This highlights report summarizes several of the key developments that are expected to continue powering up the market, including:

  • Enhanced cleaning and disinfection will remain key focus areas, with over 56% of the end users noting an increased frequency of cleaning as the new standard of cleanliness. Demand for cleaning wipes is expected to continue being strong through 2026, as they are an easy tool that cleaning professionals and building occupants will use regularly to maintain clean and safe environments.
  • Sustainable wipes will garner further interest, with 14% of the end users saying that they have switched from chemical-based wipes to more environment-friendly/green/plant-based products since the pandemic began. Moreover, increased demand for plant-based or botanical active ingredients, such as citric acid, lavender, and thymol, will also appeal to end users looking to use more natural, less harsh chemical-based products in their cleaning procedures.
  • Online purchasing will continue to accelerate as over 50% of end users state that they now buy online from their med/surg, jan/san, and foodservice distributors, office supply stores, direct from wipes manufacturers, company-owned distribution arms, and group purchasing organizations. While visits from sales reps are still important periodically, particularly for non-routine purchases, every purchase channel is now notably an “online” retailer selling cleaning supplies and wipes. This is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.

Natural and Clean Beauty Key Developments in the U.S. Market​

Natural and Clean Beauty:​ Key Developments in the U.S. Market​

The natural and clean beauty market bounced back, increasing by a robust 10% in 2021. As the market is starting to normalize, growth is expected to soften. Oral care was the only product class to record a decline as brands pursued other areas of interest, such as deodorants and antiperspirants. Makeup and fragrances picked up strongly.

One of the more unique trends in 2021 was the rise of sustainability-focused products, particularly evident in hair care. Brands and retailers alike will continue to make efforts to expand messaging on climate commitments, sustainable sourcing, responsible packaging, and environmental giving.

Clean beauty claims continue to accelerate, with many conventional brands seeking to adopt the language. However, without government regulations or marketing restrictions, greenwashing will persist, allowing brands with less clean or fewer natural formulas to continue impacting the market.

The beauty nutrition market is comprised of a wide range of competitors, from supplement manufacturers to food, beverage, and beauty players, mushrooming into all retail outlets. What started in specialty stores like Ulta and Sephora has been mainstreamed into food/grocery stores, drugstores, mass merchandisers, and department stores. The e-commerce channel registered unprecedented sales gains due to the rising popularity of personalized nutrition offerings, coupled with strong promotion on social media. 

What are consumers’ favorite product forms? What ingredients are in high demand? What are the latest launches from leading brands like Nature’s Bounty and Olly, as well as emerging ones like SugarBearHair?
