A study by the market intelligence group published today (11 September) has found that global food and drink product launches with a ‘beauty enhancing’ claim increased by 306% from 2005 to 2008.


“One in five US women between the ages of 18 and 25 are interested in trying beauty functional beverages,” said Taya Tomasello, senior beauty analyst at Mintel. “These numbers really point to an opportunity within this new segment in the beauty industry.”


However, while beauty food and drink products have seen “significant” growth, overall global food and drink product launches have only seen a 35% increase during the same time-frame.


In 2009, nearly 300 food and drink products with a ‘beauty enhancing’ claim were launched, surpassing the total number launched in all of 2008.
