Abstract

The UK market for health and beauty treatments continues to show strong growth. This is being driven by consumers' desire to improve their appearance, whether in a professional or personal capacity, and also by the fact that levels of personal disposable income have increased rapidly in recent years, allowing consumers to spend more on discretionary items. In addition, as well as so-called 'maintenance' treatments, there has been considerable growth in demand for 'me-time' treatments, such as body and face massages and aromatherapy. Mintel last reported on health and beauty treatments in 2001.
