Executive summary

Consumption increases as the economy improves

As the economic situation keeps improving – as indicated by the GDP growth rate – consumer expenditure on cosmetics and toiletries is expected to continue recovering in 2006. For most products, however, sales measured in constant value terms in the local currency are still below the levels in the 1999-2001 period when the economy was solid, consumer confidence high, and consumption strong. One exception to this was hair care, which, in 2006, posted annual sales in constant value terms higher than those of 1999-2001. In 2006, hair care and men’s grooming products were the fastest-growing groups, while fragrances recorded the worst performance.

Cost remains main concern for Dominican consumers

Even though per capita annual expenditure among Dominican consumers has been rising since 2004, it is still below the average for Latin America and the Caribbean. The limited disposable income leads consumers to favour value-priced options such as body sprays that replace both the deodorant and the fragrances. Companies offering products combining performances at reasonable prices will be rewarded by Dominican consumers in a constrained income environment.

Distribution shows marginal changes

The distribution environment in the Dominican Republic did not show any significant changes during 2006. Supermarkets/hypermarkets recorded a small gain in share at the expense of specialists. As consumers have more disposable income they can plan their purchases better. This planning results in more monthly/bi-monthly/weekly big ticket purchases at the supermarket and fewer purchases at the nearby speciality store to pick up a few items. Direct sellers maintained or slightly improved their share across all products. However, as sales for different products evolved at different speeds overall the direct sales share decreased marginally in cosmetics and toiletries.

Leaders remain the same

Colgate-Palmolive DR Inc, Productos Avon SA and Unilever Caribe SA retained the top three spots measured by value sales in 2006. Colgate relied on its dominance of oral hygiene – the fourth largest product category by value sales – and a strong performance in bath and shower (Palmolive bar soaps) and deodorants (Speed Stick, Mennen). Avon has the largest team of consultants among direct sellers and is also the most traditional and well-known direct sales company in the Dominican Republic. It posted strong results in skin care, fragrances, deodorants, and colour cosmetics. Unilever was one of the most innovative companies in the last five years, bringing new products to the island and supporting them with major marketing expenditure. Unilever is particularly strong in deodorants (Rexona, Axe) and hair care (Sedal) with the first position in value sales terms in both sectors.

Growth expected to stabilise

After posting strong GDP gains in 2005 and 2006, the Dominican Republic’s economic growth is expected to slow down in 2007 and thereafter. Sales of cosmetics and toiletries should post strong growth in 2007, a year in which the market will achieve pre-crisis sales levels in constant value terms in almost all products. For 2008 and beyond slower sales growth is forecast as disposable income increases slow down.
