Executive summary
A good start for 2008 but slowing in second semester
A favourable economic scenario continued to lead to higher disposable incomes and increased consumer confidence in the first half of 2008, allowing consumers to continue purchasing value-added products, and enabling companies to continue with new product launches. However, the second half of the year saw a more cautious consumer, with the last quarter being the slowest, as a consequence of internal political problems coupled with fears of the international crisis reaching Argentina, leading to a slowdown in sales.
Both women and men give more importance to personal appearance
Consumers are paying more attention to personal appearance and image after years of economic recovery driving growth in disposable incomes. Argentine women have always been very conscious of their looks and are now able to purchase more products with value-added characteristics to improve their appearance, mainly in colour cosmetics, hair care and body care. In addition, men have become increasingly interested in improving their appearance and have changed their view towards male cosmetics, viewing them as not just for “metrosexuals” but for all men. A study commissioned by Biotherm found that 72% of Argentine men believe personal appearance is important for their personal lives, 65% view it as important for reaching success in the working environment, and 40% of Argentine men view using male cosmetics products as something that is socially accepted and normal.
Premium products continue to gain share
Premium and value-added products continued to gain value share in 2008 as consumers with higher disposable turned to recognised high-quality brands during most of the year, becoming more price-sensitive only towards the end of the year. Many products, such as premium fragrances, skin care and colour cosmetics, benefited from successful marketing campaigns focusing on celebrity endorsements and also from the fact its products became more attractive as gifts due to rising prices of alternative products such as clothing and small electronics.
Chained supermarkets and hypermarkets gain share
Chained supermarkets and hypermarkets continued gaining ground in the retail environment as consumers were able to make planned purchases as a result of higher disposable incomes and a feeling of job and economic stability after several years of good economic performance. Direct sellers lost value share as consumers increasingly included cosmetics and toiletries products in their monthly supermarket/hypermarket purchases, and many consumers were able to purchase products from brands perceived as offering higher quality than those from direct sellers.
Slowdown in growth expected
The performance of the cosmetics and toiletries market is expected to slow in 2009 as the effects of the global economic crisis are felt in Argentina. In this expected scenario consumers will watch their spending closely, negatively affecting sales of premium cosmetics and toiletries and opening up opportunities for lower priced direct sellers. The forecast period will see lower average growth rates than 2008 as the economy continues to slow down from the peak growth years following the 2001 crisis.
