Beauty Industry Consumer Behaviour Report 2023: How we conducted our survey

Beauty Industry Consumer Behaviour Report 2023: How we conducted our survey

For the past nine years, Daily Vanity has been conducting an annual large-scale beauty industry consumer market survey to gain a deeper understanding of beauty consumers in Singapore.

This survey has enabled us to consolidate valuable information that is highly sought after by many marketers, business owners, country managers, and researchers who are looking to better comprehend the beauty landscape in Singapore.

As the official data partner for Statista, the Global No.1 Business Data Platform, we provide useful insights to many business leaders and marketers around the world.

Our survey has been instrumental in providing vital insights to marketers, business owners, country managers, and researchers around the world who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of the beauty industry in Singapore.

To conduct this survey, we invested over S$200,000 into advertising, data collection, cleaning, crunching, and software development. By recruiting participants primarily via Meta ads, we asked them to take a 20 to 30-minute online survey in February 2023.

A total of 910 participants based in Singapore took part in this research. The female sample size of 839 gives the survey results a 3.38% margin of error (usually a margin of error between 3 to 5% is considered acceptable), based on a 95% confidence interval for Singapore’s female population of 1,427,770 between the age of 15 to 64 years old.

This means that should the survey be repeated 100 times, it will yield the same results 95 times with a +/-3.38% to the responses. It also indicates that the survey results are highly significant, and can be taken as a good indication of the overall market’s sentiments.

With our rigorous data collection methods and expert analysis, we aim to continue providing valuable insights that will help businesses make informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition in Singapore’s dynamic and ever-evolving beauty market.

The good news is that you can access our report for free. Read till the end of the article to find out how you can receive a copy.
