Executive summary

Market growth improves slightly

Cosmetic and toiletry sales in Belgium grew at slightly higher rate in 2006 than that seen in the previous year. This growth rate was driven by a few dynamic smaller sectors where the levels of innovation are highest, such as men’s grooming, sun care and baby care.

Men’s grooming dynamic

Men’s grooming products continue to behave dynamically, predominately in the areas of skin and hair care. The two major manufacturers, L’Oréal Groupe and Beiersdorf AG are increasingly innovating new products for these areas especially in skin care where year on year the product portfolios resemble more closely the range available for women.

Top 10 players hold three quarters of sales

There was little difference seen in the competitive landscape for cosmetic and toiletry sales in Belgium in the last year. Whilst the top 10 manufacturers accounted for just over 75% of sales, nearly 60% of all sales were achieved within the top five companies. The overall ranking for 2006 does not look very different to that of 2005 with L’Oréal Groupe and Beiersdorf AG still dominating.

Internet catching on at last

Belgium has been much slower than most of its close neighbours with the uptake of internet-based sales. This appears now to be changing, partly due to a government-led programme to increase the number of people who have access to this medium.

Forecasts mixed

Future sales of cosmetics and toiletries in Belgium show a healthy forecast. However a substantial amount of this growth will come from the smaller more dynamic sectors where the potential for increased future product penetration is higher. Growth in the larger and in some case more mature sectors will be lower with manufacturers having to innovate and diversify to increase sales.
