Big things come in Small packages
Subscription box trend growing on a global scale
Each month, people look forward to getting specialty subscription boxes in the mail. Whether they are expats getting comfort food from their native countries or Millennials receiving a box of beer, video games or beauty products, the subscription box trend is growing across all sectors and countries.
In the US alone, this e-commerce trend has grown more than 100 percent each year, for the past five years. A McKinsey report shows the trend is being fueled by venture-capital investments, start-ups as well as major brands like P&G (Gillette on Demand), Sephora (Play!) and Walmart (Beauty Box).
A billion-pound market in the UK
Meanwhile, in the UK Royal Mail is anticipating the delivery of subscription boxes to reach one billion by 2022. This is a substantial increase from 2017 when it was 583 million. Who is behind this trend? Millennials. These digital natives grew up with e-commerce and now that they are adults, they enjoy getting monthly deliveries of their favourite toiletries and beauty products to weekly deliveries of fruit and vegetables.
