📈 Products on the Rise
Product #1 - Lip Oil (+364%)
Shimmer and Shine! Lip Oil is rising swiftly in popularity by combining the nourishing benefits of a lip balm with the aesthetic appeal of a lip gloss.
Lip oils are typically enriched with vitamins, antioxidants, and natural oils to provide deep hydration, while also giving the lips a shine without the sticky feel often associated with lip gloss.
Why is “Lip Oil” Trending?
Self-Care Trend - Amidst rising awareness about skincare, consumers are showing an increased interest in lip care products that offer moisturizing benefits
Natural Ingredients - With many lip oils containing natural and plant-based ingredients, they are winning hearts among consumers who prefer organic and clean beauty products.
Versatility - Lip oils come in clear as well as color-tinted versions. This makes them a versatile choice that can be used alone for a natural look or over lipstick for a glossy finish.
Comfortable Wear - Unlike traditional lip glosses, lip oils are less sticky and more comfortable to wear, which is a major draw for many users.
Who’s Doing It?
Dior - The most popular product in this space, the Dior Addict Lip Glow is a high-quality product with a high price tag of $40 to match it.
Ogee - This $26 coconut lip oil is generating $30k/month on Amazon.
Product #2 - Bourbon (+293%)
Bourbon is Booming! Once perceived as your grandfather's drink, Bourbon has been growing steadily in popularity for the past decade!
Bourbon, a type of American whiskey, is primarily made from corn and aged in charred oak barrels.
While historically associated with the southern United States, especially Kentucky, bourbon has been spreading its taste across the globe.
Valued at $7.8B in 2021, the global bourbon market is projected to reach $12.8B by 2031, according to Allied Market Research.
Why is “Bourbon” Trending?
Craft Revolution - The craft beverage revolution that reshaped the beer industry has extended its reach to spirits. This movement has brought in a wave of new, innovative distilleries, producing bourbons with unique flavor profiles.
Mixology Trend - The rise of cocktail culture has also played a part in bourbon's resurgence.
Premiumization - The trend towards premium, higher-quality, and higher-priced products, has influenced the spirits industry.
