Executive summary

Cosmetics consumption growth

Strong growth (14%) in 2006 was partially due to the improvement in the national economy and the consequent rise in disposable income. However, successful marketing campaigns and promotional strategies undertaken by the leading players, as well as improvements in logistics, pricing policies and products, all played a role in boosting sales.

Direct sales companies invade Bolivia

Direct sales companies were particularly successful in Bolivia mainly because they have a credit policy that makes their products more affordable, and they often offer better quality products than those sold in specialty shops (called perfumeries). The high unemployment rate in the country also provided direct sales companies with an extensive pool of sales representatives, especially women who are eager to take on jobs as sales representatives due to the flexible working hours.

Of the many direct sales companies established in Bolivia, only a few have significant industry shares. These include Ebel, Avon, Yanbal, and Natura. Yanbal has been present in Bolivia for over 27 years and has the largest sales force of over 22,000 people throughout the country.

Beiersdorf increases its industry share

Beiersdorf has been investing in the Bolivian marketplace for over five years and its efforts are now showing in its steadily rising industry share. Its most important brand is Nivea and its best selling products are its body creams and facial care line Nivea Visage. Beiersdorf improved its distribution channels and launched several aggressive advertising campaigns in the mass media in order to support its product lines, achieving significant growth. Its strategy has been consistent throughout time, emphasising excellent quality products at affordable prices. For instance, Beiersdorf was the first to sell a facial line via mass product channels where previously its Nivea face and special body care line had only been available via beauty shops and perfumeries.

Tradition and innovation are important selling points

There are several brands in the domestic marketplace that rely mainly on tradition, the success of which is maintained through regular updates and improvements. For instance, the Wella brand has been available in Bolivia for over 60 years and remains the best-selling hair care product via beauty shops and salons.

Traditional brands are highly prevalent in the mass cosmetics marketplace since companies producing and selling these brands generally do not have large resources to allocate to marketing, and instead have to rely on brand positioning.

Contraband accounts for almost a third of total sales

As in almost every aspect of the cosmetics and toiletries industry in Bolivia, contraband represents a large share of overall sales. Some brands have achieved their positioning and increased their volume sales through contraband selling. These goods are sold at lower prices making them attractive to consumers, who buy more of the product if they are happy with the results achieved, thereby further increasing volume sales.

Brands such as Ballerina and Simond’s started as contraband products, and although they are now legally distributed, many examples of the product can still be found in open markets sold as contraband. As a result, some companies operating legitimately are now competing with their own brands available at cheaper prices through the black market.
