What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
France's aging population and weak economy means marketers of Skincare products need to reassess the priorities of their key consumers. Consumers aged 40-49 years old form the largest group in the country; meanwhile high youth unemployment means that the decreasing numbers of young adults have limited discretionary income, even though growth in consumer prices is relatively slow.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
In 2012 there were 1.7 million more 40-59 year olds in France than there were 10-29 year olds: the future of Skincare over the next decade lies not with cash-strapped young consumers, but with the richer, aging "gray" consumer. Growing acceptance of the inevitable aging process means Skincare products targeting consumers in older age groups will need to offer more than just "anti-wrinkle" benefits; consumers will look for products meeting a broad range of needs, including skin radiance and luminosity, skin smoothness, and skin elasticity.
