- Win £500 to spend at Autumn Fair -

 

Autumn Fair, the UK’s premier retail marketplace for Home, Gift & Fashion, is set to return from the 1st - 4th of September at NEC Birmingham with a resurgence in beauty and wellbeing brands reflecting the continued growth in this sector.

 

Consumer spending on beauty and personal care increased to an estimated £11.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach £12.6 billion by 2028 according to Mintel, with easing inflation and renewed spend on going out and holidays boosting spend. Consumer spending on beauty products rose 6% in 2023, and categories such as fragrances benefited from their positioning as an affordable luxury, as consumers looked to treat themselves amid a challenging economic climate.

 

Beauty & Wellbeing at Autumn Fair continues to flourish, presenting a diverse range of products from holistic home fragrances and luxurious soaps to beauty essentials, hair care, and grooming items. This sector is particularly timely for buyers looking to stock up on popular beauty gifting products for Christmas and wellbeing items for the New Year. Discover a host of debut brands including Akamuti, Bodyenrich, Botanical & Bloom Candle Co, Sleep with ESSTA and Lose Weight with ESSTA, Kiki & Green, Leaf and Frosty, Musketeers, Manley and Moosh, Psychic Sisters, Ray Essence Skincare, Nede Hair Care, Skyn Bakery, Sukha Oils, and YFF.

 

Soraya Gadelrab, Event Director of Autumn Fair comments: “The Beauty & Wellbeing sector’s growth is a testament to the rising demand for such products. We are thrilled to host brands offering a broad spectrum of items, including consumer beauty goods, nutrition, tech wearables, air care, candles, bath bombs, and more. The beauty and wellness market are worth billions and UK retailers are keen to benefit from this huge consumer interest. Autumn Fair continues to attract independent businesses and department stores, garden centres and retail discounters all wanting to buy the best products in beauty and wellbeing at this important buying period.”
