Executive summary

Continuous development in cosmetics and toiletries

Growth in the Colombian economy in 2001-2006 resulted in higher consumer confidence levels and stronger prospects in employment and income. This allowed Colombian consumers to allocate their spending across a wider range of goods and services. Although price remained a hindering factor in some sectors, it played a smaller role in purchase decisions than in previous years. Overall, the country’s cosmetics and toiletries industry performed positively in 2006. Growth in value sales in 2006 were fuelled by innovative mass campaigns, continuous promotional activities and discounts – particularly by supermarkets/hypermarkets, controlled prices, the introduction of natural and multifunctional products, brand revitalisation through product extensions, sleeker packaging and an extended distribution network arising from the boom in shopping centres.

Skin concerns drive fastest-growing sectors

Colombia’s increased concern with skin protection and higher product awareness drove the skin care and sun care sectors to grow fastest in 2006. Strong dynamism in both sectors resulted from significant research and development investments as well as a number of product developments involving advanced product formulas. In terms of multifunctionality, typical product features corresponded to moisturising-soothing, moisturising-SPF protection, hydrating-colour protection and anti-ageing-moisturising. The increasing concern about protecting skin from damage caused by exposure to the sun and ageing effects resulted from manufacturers’ strong advertising campaigns, which aimed at educating consumers on the necessary steps to a healthy skin.

Multinationals dominate Colombian cosmetics and toiletries

A large percentage of the production and commercialisation of Colombia’s cosmetics and toiletries is controlled by multinationals such as Colgate-Palmolive, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson. These companies have a clear first-mover advantage, and international brands like Colgate toothpaste, Pantene hair care and Johnson’s Baby enjoy strong levels of brand loyalty. The industry’s competitive landscape was very dynamic and saw the consolidation of key players such as Johnson & Johnson de Colombia SA and Procter & Gamble de Colombia SA, which strengthened their position in the market through the acquisition of other leading competitors.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets lead retail distribution

Over the review period, supermarkets/hypermarkets continued to hold the biggest share of overall distribution. The leadership of supermarkets/hypermarkets was supported by cultural purchasing traditions (eg the planned purchase of basic toiletries made with the regular grocery purchases) and strong promotional campaigns and discounts available in the channel. Cosmetics and toiletries manufacturers rely strongly on supermarkets/hypermarkets, dedicating considerable resources to improving the purchase experience through well structured in-store displays, product advisors and promotional activities. Direct sales was the second most important distribution channel. Companies like Avon, Amway, Yanbal and Belstar continued to profit from the communication their sales representatives have with clients and continuously revitalised brand portfolios.

Maturity to affect growth rates over the forecast period

Despite both demand and supply of cosmetics and toiletries being expected to grow steadily across the 2006-2011 period, overall growth rates are likely to slow down over the forecast period due to market saturation and the higher maturity level forecast for the market. However, skin care and sun care are forecasted to significantly outperform the market as a whole. Greater sophistication among consumers is expected to raise quality standards for products across all sectors. However, pricing will remain subinflationary despite strong investment in product improvements. Product differentiation and new launches are forecast to follow global trends as multinationals leverage on the success of their marketing campaigns abroad.
