Executive summary

Young consumers remain a great niche for cosmetics and toiletries

The biggest cosmetics and toiletries companies are continuously developing and strengthening their positions within the babies and youth categories. Yanbal with its Clic line and Ebel with its Cy Zone brands are battling in order to increase their market shares within the growing niche of young female consumers. The companies are trying to establish loyalties that will continue throughout their consumer’s lifetime, well after they outgrow the younger brands and trade up to more traditional, mature brands and product lines.

Direct sales remains the most important sales channel for some products

According to figures presented by the Association of Direct Sales, the most important companies active in cosmetics and toiletries are: Yanbal, Ebel, Oriflame and Avon. The former president of this association, Pedro Montalvo, affirmed that sales through this channel were worth US$150-200 million in 2005. However, this figure includes also other sales like books, jewellery and cooking utensils. In some sectors, direct sales represent around 75% of total value sales, like for fragrances.

Unilever Andina Ecuador’s “Real Beauty” campaign spurs sales of Dove brand

In 2006 Unilever Andina Ecuador used its Dove brand and launched a campaign focused on “Real Beauty” with the objective of creating an emotional link with its main target, women. The decision to launch this global campaign was the result of innumerable interviews made in several countries which revealed that approximately 47% of women are not satisfied with their physical condition. The advertising campaign started in Ecuador on 18 July, mainly on television and in printed media.

Private label continues to hold a small share but gaining ground

Supermercados La Favorita with its brand Supermaxi has launched since 2004 different private label products which are gaining share of total sales. Supermaxi is the leading supermarket chain in Ecuador with annual sales of US$654 Million in 2005. Toothpaste and bar soap are two of the main products under the Supermaxi private label and their market share is increasing slowly among a middle socio-economic consumer segment which focuses mainly on affordable prices.

Advertising is key to success in cosmetics and toiletries

The most important brands in cosmetics and toiletries have strong communication campaigns through mass media advertising channels. This is the case for Colgate-Palmolive or Unilever brands, which have a share of voice of around 60% within their respective sectors. New brands which have recently challenged these companies are forced to develop well-supported campaigns in order to become an option for consumers based on their added value or lower prices.
