Executive summary

Beauty never goes out of fashion, and Canadians can afford to pay for it

Canadians continue to express a strong desire to look and feel good, and sales of cosmetics and toiletries are soaring. A strong economy, increased employment, and higher per capita incomes are further boosting consumer confidence and affording Canadians greater spending power. Additionally, consumers are spending more on improved and advanced products as they expect better results and premium quality. Product development, which usually sees improved products with higher price tags, then helps drive sales. Furthermore, Canadians are starting their beauty regimes earlier in life. As they are marrying later, having fewer (if any) children, they are spending more on themselves. Beauty is very much in fashion.

Being “young at heart” is not enough

Older Canadians are not content to only feel young at heart and healthy. They also want to look young and beautiful at all ages. The increasing number of ageing people is supporting continuous strong demand and strong sales of cosmetics and toiletries, especially products that claim to fight the signs of ageing. Furthermore, it is never too early to start the fight against wrinkles, and younger men and women are increasingly using products that help to keep skin looking younger and healthier longer, first and foremost face and body care with moisturising properties as well as cleansers.

Men’s interest in beautification continues to grow

Male interest in cosmetics and toiletries, beyond shaving, is continuing to grow. Younger men, in particular 18-44-year-olds, are the primary consumers of cosmetics and toiletries, as older men are slower on the uptake due to deep-seated traditional ideas about masculinity. On the other hand, younger men, growing up in a different social atmosphere and changing perceptions about male beauty and masculinity, have different perceptions of what is socially acceptable for men, thereby contributing to men’s beauty care sales beyond simply shaving products.

Pharmacies/drugstores leads sales of cosmetics and toiletries

Pharmacies/drugstores remains the main distribution channel for cosmetics and toiletries in Canada. Most mass and prestige manufacturers of beauty products have greatly benefited from the consumer preference for this shopping channel, reciprocated by retailers that expanded their beauty care aisles and continue to develop and expand in-store beauty boutiques that feature a wide selection of products and professional help. Strong sales experienced by pharmacies/drugstores and slower performances from traditional premium segment distribution channels, like department stores, persuaded the most stubborn of prestige beauty manufacturers to recognise the importance of pharmacies/drugstores in pushing sales and rising brand awareness among traditionally “timid” customers, who tend to avoid department stores, such as younger consumers and men.

Capturing new sales through acquisitions

The Canadian cosmetics and toiletries market continues to see the trend towards greater consolidation, which is leading to the expansion of beauty power houses, such as L’Oréal through its acquisition of The Body Shop and Procter & Gamble’s acquisition of Gillette, as well as distribution rights for Dolce & Gabbana prestige fragrances, with substantial resources to invest in their top brands and product development. Furthermore, consolidation and market entry via acquisitions and mergers is one of the strategies to gain competitive advantage in the highly developed Canadian market and to avoid serious price wars between “me-too” brands in both mass and premium segments, which will then help drive value sales of the Canadian cosmetics and toiletries market.
