Abstract

Mintel examined the UK market for beauty products designed specifically for Black women for the first time in November 1999, and this report looks at the changes that have occurred since that time. Within the UK this must be clearly be considered as a relatively niche market, given the small ethnic minority population involved.

Nevertheless, there have been some significant shifts in both international and purely UK terms since 1999. The report examines those shifts, as well as looking at the factors which distinguish this from the broader toiletries and cosmetics market, differential growth rates within it and potential opportunities for further growth in the future.
