Demographic Trends

The table below provides a breakdown of conversational volume data against the three key demographic categories - gender, age and race - for the three months ending July 30, 2020.

The consumer speaking about anti-aging is typically female, age 30 to 64 and White.

Gender

While women speak about anti-aging at ~6x the rate as men, each gender's contribution rate is normative compared to the rate at which each group speaks about all other Beauty topics, as indicated by the percentile for males and females. In other words, we expect the average Beauty topic on Instagram to have about 85% of its conversation volume coming from individuals identified as female, and that is what we see when we look at Anti-Aging conversations.

Race

From a race perpspective, White and Asian consumers dominate anti-aging conversations, contributing almost 90% of the total volume. African American and Hispanic consumers barely contribute to topic's conversations in comparison. Based on what we know about African American and Hispanic consumers' contribution to Beauty conversations on Instagram, we would expect them to be more engaged with this topic.
