What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Traditional differences between men's and women's Health and Beauty routines are breaking down, with men increasingly adopting "female" habits. This creates in itself new opportunities for marketers. Meanwhile, the adoption of western consumption patterns by women in BRIC is leading to a greater global convergence of trends amongst women. Brands in the market must position themselves carefully if they are to take advantage of this evolution in men's and women's Health and Beauty routines.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Consumer's habits and routines are evolving, changing the nature of consumption over time. One of the main drivers of this is the development of BRIC economies, creating a more affluent consumer in this region with different needs to consumers in Western countries.
