Children's HBC Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis

The children’s HBC (health and beauty care) industry is made up of companies whose primary interest lies in manufacturing, marketing, distributing, and retailing children’s HBC products to the general consumer. The children’s HBC industry spans the age spectrum from merchandise for infants up through children who are approximately eleven years of age. The industry has undergone many changes throughout its history. Initially the products in the children’s HBC industry were fairly generic, and presently these HBC products are available in a variety of scents, forms, uses, etc. Children’s HBC developers have more recently come to recognize the importance of extending the product base, beyond diapers and nappies, and also how it is vital to the industry’s continued growth to make use of the growing purchasing power children have obtained.

The children’s HBC industry has begun to design more health and beauty products specifically geared towards children, utilizing popular characters from TV and movies, and even creating products that resemble toys or may have dual purposes. The children’s HBC industry also has to be flexible and creative in their marketing strategies, as what appeals to a five year old child may not interest a pre-adolescent. In addition to appeal to a broad age range, children’s HBC corporations also have to be concerned with making their products appealing to the parents, as most often they are the ones who will be purchasing these products. The children’s HBC market is currently expanding, due to the rise of more parenthood occurring at a more mature age, and thus families having more financial stability to purchase these specialized products for their children.
