The market as defined in this report is diverse - shampoo and deodorants, for example, are commodity toiletries and usage has little in common with either fragrances - a luxury sector - or skincare, a decidedly ‘cosmetic' market. Most men have a basic daily regime; shave, shower and deodorise, but far fewer have been persuaded of the virtues of total self-grooming. en 2008-03-21 Mintel International Group Ltd, http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/mt63958-de-toiletries.html As more and more German men take up elaborate grooming habits, the market is diversifying and expanding. It is valued at ? 1,270 million in 2007, up 22% from 2002 and 8% on 2006. The best growth rates came in 2006 and 2007, reflecting a boost for newer, higher-margin sectors, as well as much NPD. The hair and skincare sectors are expanding the fastest and only the dated aftershave and eau de cologne segments have declined. Coty with Davidoff, and Procter & Gamble with Boss, lead for fragrances, while Axe (Unilever) and adidas (Coty) are strong deodorant and shower gel brands. Male skincare is led by pioneer Nivea for Men (Beiersdorf), but L' Oreal Men Expert is fast gaining ground. en 2008-03-21 Mintel International Group Ltd, http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/mt63960-it-toiletries.html The Italian men' s toiletries market is estimated to be worth ? 719 million in 2007, up by 2.3% on 2006 and a mere 9% on 2002 at current prices. Influenced by lifestyle trends and fashion magazines, men' s attitudes towards their appearance are changing and becoming more open to using toiletries and skincare. The consumer base however has remained small. en 2008-03-21 Mintel International Group Ltd, http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/mt63961-es-toiletries.html Supported by a strong economic setting, changing gender roles and suppliers' active new product development, Spanish sales of men' s grooming products have posted dynamic growth in recent years. The market was estimated to be worth ? 1,057 million in 2007, an improvement of almost 4% on the previous year. While sectors such as skincare remain buoyant, growth is showing signs of slowing down due to the erosion of prestige products by masstige alternatives, increasing discounting and expanding share of own-labels. However, male-specific products are expected to remain amongst the best-performing areas of Spanish C&T sales also in the near future. en 2008-03-20 Frost & Sullivan http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/fs63998-skin-care.html This research service provides a detailed assessment study on the European markets for active ingredients in skin care. en 2008-03-20 Datamonitor http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/dc64546-retail-market.html In Western markets, retail industry growth has dropped to one of the slowest rates of modern times and consequently the role of IT has become increasingly important for improving business performance. en 2008-03-20 Datamonitor http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/dc64564-b2c-parcel.html This report provides B2C Parcel Delivery Market Research ,Trends, Analysis. en Games Market Research 2008-03-19 Pearl Research http://www.the-infoshop.com/study/prl63914-games-market.html Pearl Research' s exclusive 130+ page study analyzes the rapidly growing Chinese games and interactive entertainment.

Fundamental changes have taken place since Mintel last looked at music and video retailing, including a major consolidation among specialist players. They are being spurred on by the rapid rise of technology in the home, with the arrival of broadband as a mass-market phenomenon and increasing ownership of MP3 players and iPods.
