Executive summary

Mexican consumers adapting to limited budgets and sharp price increases

In 2009, with their more limited budgets, Mexicans clearly changed their purchasing patterns, forcing manufacturers and retailers to engage in more sophisticated distribution and marketing strategies. In general, purchasing patterns evolved to less volume and higher frequency of purchase, trading down to more convenient brands, the purchasing only of products considered as necessary, less usage of products and more products being shared by different family members, as well as more purchases done only when promotions and price discounts were available. Prices rose considerably in 2009, due to inflationary pressures and the devaluation of the peso. Consequently, the beauty and personal care market saw a lower rate of growth in current value and volume terms during the year. However, it is still one of the healthiest sectors within the Mexican consumer goods market, since women are highly influenced by global beauty trends, and consider beauty and personal care products as an “affordable luxury”.

Manufacturers and retailers develop strategies to increase consumption

As the economy slowed down in 2009, leading retailers developed their distribution strategies into more sophisticated schemes specifically designed to extend their reach and stimulate sales. This change in the distribution environment was due to the need to sustain sales and minimise the potential negative effects of a slowdown in the Mexican economy. The current strategy for most grocery retailers is to penetrate the lower income segment. The current retail expansion into smaller cities and rural communities offers companies the opportunity to reach new markets and drive sales. For department stores, the importing of more exclusive brands and geographical expansion have become important strategies to cover a wider spectrum of consumers. Retail expansion is expected to continue at a dynamic pace during the forecast period.

Direct selling shows most dynamic growth

In 2009, direct selling companies within beauty and personal care market posted the most dynamic growth. Prices for some products in this channel more affordable that those offered in store-based retail channels. Direct selling accounts for around 30% of total beauty and personal care sales, with over one million sales representatives. Mexican women, more than ever, feel the need of an additional source of income, due to high unemployment.

Piracy and counterfeits an increasing threat

The beauty and personal market faces a challenge from counterfeit products and piracy, as well as parallel trading, which overall increased by around 18% in 2009. It is estimated that 76% of Mexicans buy illegal products at some time. Lack of consumer education and unfavourable economic conditions are boosting demand for these products. The issue is serious; for example, it is estimated that sales of pirate fragrances and colour cosmetics amounted to around Mx$2 billion each in 2009. Even though government efforts to reduce piracy are evident, the issue poses a threat to the legitimate beauty and personal care market.

More sophisticated formulations to support future growth

More sophisticated formulations, including multipurpose formulations, at affordable prices are anticipated to drive growth in the coming years, as these products have the potential to create more loyalty amongst consumers. Complex formulations which emulate the technology offered by medicated formulations and cosmeceuticals will continue to be an effective way for manufacturers to differentiate themselves from other players in the market, including new entrants. To compete legitimately, however, manufacturers within the beauty and personal care industry need to be careful about the advertising of their products, clearly indicating the real benefits of their products.
