Executive summary

Similar growth rate in 2008

2008 registered a constant value growth rate in line with the growth in the review period. Companies maintained their aggressive stance when it came to new product launches and advertising, thus resulting in continued market expansion.

Innovation is a major feature in 2008

Innovation flooded all categories of the cosmetics and toiletries market, as companies launched products in everything from sun care to colour cosmetics to shampoo. A few of the key new product launches included Listerine Total Care mouthwash, with six benefits in one product, new colour cosmetics brand CyZone, aimed at the younger population, and finally Unilever’s successful launch of Dove Pro-Age in soap and skin care.

Global players dominate the competitive landscape

Unilever Group, Johnson & Johnson Inc, The Procter & Gamble Co, Colgate-Palmolive Co and Beiersdorf AG are the most powerful multinational companies in cosmetics and toiletries. These companies all have well-known, global brands and the capability of launching new products, as well as the ability to run extensive advertising campaigns, which cannot be achieved by local players. These factors led to the domination of global players in nearly all categories in the ultra-competitive cosmetics and toiletries market.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets is the most important distribution channel

Supermarkets/hypermarkets is not only the most important distribution channel, but is also the fastest growing channel. Supermarkets/hypermarkets boasts the highest number of SKUs in cosmetics and toiletries, offering consumers the variety that they are looking for. More consumers are flocking to supermarkets, as they are looking to simplify their lives and have one-stop shopping. Walmart has rapidly changed the retailing landscape in Costa Rica with its several chained, modern outlets; negatively affecting the traditional independent small grocers, or pulperías.

The future looks promising

The future for cosmetics and toiletries looks promising, as the market will continue to expand. New product launches and advertising initiatives will be strong in the future, as categories continue to flourish. More consumers with higher disposable incomes will expand volume sales, while current consumers will expand their purchases to more specialised or value-added products.
