Mintel Invests in Cosmetic Insights

Market information company Mintel has acquired Cosmetic Research, which tracks the launches of luxury cosmetic and beauty products worldwide. The acquisition is designed to increase the depth of coverage in Mintel's Global New Products Database (GNPD).

Cosmetic Research, founded in 1970, has created a global database of all major new products in the luxury beauty market. Mintel's GNPD service similarly tracks worldwide product innovation across a range of consumer packaged goods markets.

Peter Haigh, CEO of Mintel, says the acquisition underlines the company's 'commitment to continually grow our coverage and range of products on offer'. He says the combined expertise of the two companies will 'offer unrivalled insight into new product research in the world of cosmetics and beauty'.
