Do You Have a Subscription Box Business?

The UK subscription box market is forecast to grow by 72% by the end of 2022, according to a report by Royal Mail on the UK Subscription Box Boom.

The market is forecast to be valued at £1 billion by 2022, compared to £583 million estimated spend in 2017.

This is good news for sustainable and green logistics businesses, which are ideally placed to support the growth in e-commerce, given the UK’s world-leading position in online retail.

This rapid growth is being driven by several factors, such as the increasing popularity of e-commerce and social media. In addition, subscription boxes are becoming increasingly popular as a gifting option.

According to Royal Mail, 27.4 % of UK consumers are currently signed up to a subscription box service, either for themselves or on behalf of somebody else.

Male grooming and beauty subscription services offer the biggest growth opportunities in the market. Male grooming subscriptions could attract almost two million members by 2022, making them the fastest growing subscription category.

There are several types of subscription box business models with the most common categories being:

1. Food and drink boxes

2. Beauty boxes

3. Fashion boxes

4. Lifestyle boxes

5. Hobby and activity boxes
