Accounting for a third of the global population, Gen Z, 9-24 year olds (born between 1997-2012), has surpassed millennials as the largest generation, and they are grabbing a larger share of the attention of beauty brands too.
Over the past year, Gen Z has become almost an obsession for the beauty industry, and with good reason. In 2020, it was the only generation to drive growth in beauty sales in the UK, according to Kantar. And data from Klarna shows that Gen Z consumers also spend more on skin care than any other age group.
70% of Gen Z beauty shoppers are ‘beauty enthusiasts’ who are ‘always seaching for the next best beauty products and brands’ according to PowerReviews’ Changing Face of the Beauty Shopper study. Moreover, with their strong sense of identity and cause-driven values, they are intentionally driving change within the beauty industry.
