Executive summary

Cosmetics and toiletries small but developing

Although the size of cosmetics and toiletries remained relatively small in Dominican Republic over the review period and despite the economic downturn and very small base of middle- and high-income consumers over 2007 and 2008 cosmetics and toiletries achieved steady positive retail value growth. According to trade sources, there were over one thousand companies in cosmetic and toiletries in 2008 and these companies are looking for new opportunities.

Ethnic and “value added” products in hair care prove popular

Dominican Republic has a highly ethnic population, as a consequence of which products such as those which straighten hair or which help to make curls more defined are very popular. As a result of this, among other factors, hair care was the largest category in cosmetics and toiletries in terms of retail value sales in 2008. Another factor that has benefited hair care is the search among consumers for products that offer basic functionality combined with “value added” benefits. Such products were available under brands such as Dove, Pantene and Sedal, which benefited from new product innovation towards the end of the review period.

Preference for international brands among local consumers

Multinational companies, such as Unilever Caribe SA and Beiersdorf SA, compete strongly for leadership in the categories of cosmetics and toiletries in which they are present while local companies account for small retail value shares and their products are generally not considered to be of high quality among local consumers. Therefore, product quality and image, marketing and widespread distribution are factors of great importance to local consumers who tend to prefer international brands to local brands.

Direct selling, a significant channel of distribution

Direct selling accounted for a significant retail value share of cosmetics and toiletries in Dominican Republic in 2008. This channel of distribution has expanded, thus reaching many more consumers throughout the country. The way in which products are sold through this channel is via face-to-face contact among friends and/or family members, thus there is a strong sense of trust.

Economic crisis expected to lead to stabilisation of growth

The global economic downturn that occurred at the end of 2007 is expected to have a negative effect on the performance of cosmetics and toiletries over the forecast period, as middle- and low-income consumers are expected to restrict their consumption and to focus primarily on necessity items. Average unit prices are not expected to change dramatically and products that offer more than one function, such as those in 2-in-1 products in hair care, are expected to be preferred by consumers, as they are perceived as a means of saving money.
