The new challenge for the cosmetics industry: young adults

Much ink has been spilled on millennials, who have been labelled all sorts of ways in recent years. Still, their generation is the key to rebuild our society; young adults from 25 to 40 years of age will be responsible for creating the new future.

The world of millennials is as vast and varied as ever. In China, for example, they are driving the economic development of the country, thanks in part to disposing of more wealth than previous generations. Meanwhile, in more established markets where the population tends to be older (such as Europe), millennials have a lower impact on the course of the nation. This imbalance puts a damper on technological innovation and limits the flexibility of more static economies.

Faced with a second global crisis, after the first one at the start of the millennium, young adults all over the world are forced to re-examine their core values: health, safety, and stability are replacing adolescent dreams. Millennials demand the same essential and pragmatic approach from their brands. Even the daily beauty routine has become a necessary moment, a response to the demands of everyday life. There are, of course, differences to the approaches and the tools preferred by people under 30, as opposed to those over 35, but they all share the desire for authentic experiences, parking empty advertising jingles in the attic. They follow brands that become part of their everyday life and are eager to share challenges and find essential solutions in both personal care and well-being, in the search for balance and harmony with others. 

Here are some of the solutions proposed by companies in the Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna network:
