Key findings

Growing importance of internet retailing

The increased importance of e-commerce across all industries, driven by COVID-19, causes more consumers to interact with brands online. In 2020, more product research is made online than offline and it is expected that brands offer relevant insights through digital channels.

Organic claim remains strong and growing

Organic, led by food and drinks, is the most common claim tracked. Some consumers turned to organic food to boost their immunity during 2020. The increased focus on health in relation to organic has the potential to benefit organic.

Immunity taking its place among health claims

Fear of COVID-19 has spiked interest in immune system health and manufacturers are responding with launches, especially in soft drinks. Lasting worries of the efficacy of antibodies and vaccines as defense against new COVID-19 strings is likely to drive consumer interest in a holistic approach to immunity.

Vegan beauty set to replace cruelty free claim

Growth for vegan beauty in North America, Western Europe, Australasia and the UAE allows consumers to shift away from ingredients they consider chemical and unsafe. The vegan claim is therefore connected to the personal health and wellbeing. Increased focus on health in relation to vegan beauty has the potential to drive a further move away from cruelty-free toward vegan labelling.
