A recent report on the differences between men and women’s shopping habits found changes in the
balance of buying activity between the sexes. The report, published last month by the market research
company Street Trends, focused on the areas of food and drink, toiletries and cosmetics, clothing and
electrical goods.
Little change was found in food and drink shopping habits. Over 70% of supermarket shopping in the UK
is done by the women of the household, and they generally control how much is spent on food. The report
suggests that women show a greater ability to find special offers, and are more interested than men in
getting good value when they shop.
Similarly, in the area of clothing, women are still greater consumers than men. There has been a general
increase in the purchase of clothes over the last few years, due to the introduction to the UK of cheap
fashion from China and the rest of the Far East. Discount clothing has become more popular, as retailers
have become skilled in reproducing fashion designs at lower costs. This is most noticeable in women’s
fashion, where purchases have increased significantly in the last year.
Interesting changes were seen, however, in the purchase of toiletries and electrical goods.
Approximately 80% of British women do most of the shopping for cosmetics and toiletries, but the men’s
toiletry market is growing, as younger men are more interested in their physical appearance than they
were five years ago. Well-known cosmetics companies are now targeting men with new skincare products.
In the case of electrical goods, men have traditionally been regarded as the main buyers in the household.
However, women are now taking a more active role in the purchase of these items. Several major
supermarkets are expanding into this area and targeting female customers, so further changes are expected
in these areas in the future.
