Executive summary

2007 turned out to be another year of strong growth

The Finnish cosmetics and toiletries market saw another year of very strong growth in 2007, driven by fragrances, anti-ageing products, men’s grooming products and spa-orientated products. Growing disposable incomes as well as the current pampering and indulgence trend boosted sales of more premium products during the year. Finns still spend less than the average European consumer on cosmetics and toiletries, which means that there is underlying market potential. Finnish consumers have also become more interested in cosmetics and toiletries. Where previously only one product was found on bathroom shelves, today many consumers have a ‘wardrobe’ of cosmetics products to choose from.

Finland sees slightly slower growth rates following global economic unrest

Total growth in 2007 exceeded the review period average, but was slightly less pronounced compared to growth in 2006. To some extent growth rates are settling down after the strong growth in 2006. However, the slowdown was also a result of a more uncertain economic situation on international financial markets as well as a series of interest rate rises during the year. Some consumers have, therefore, tightened their purse strings, and this has impacted premium products in particular. As a result the healthy growth rates seen in the early part of the year started to slow down towards the end of 2007.

However, the slowdown is not dramatic and as the economic uncertainty is likely to stabilise, Euromonitor International believes these signs will turn out to be a temporary dip as there is still growth potential in the Finnish market. Finland has indeed seen a more stable reaction to the global economic unrest, with the Finnish stock exchange growing strongly during 2007, giving added purchasing power to many Finns.

Increasing international presence

The competitive environment has intensified significantly in Finland. The market, headed by L'Oréal Finland Oy, has become more and more influenced by international operators. L'Oréal has indeed seen one of the strongest share increases since 2002. Domestic Lumene Group has as a result been forced to invest large amounts in new product development and extensive marketing activities to defend its position against an increasing presence of international operators. Another factor adding competitive pressure to the market is a growing private label presence. In 2007 Lidl introduced a new private label skin care range, whilst domestic retailer Kesko continued to launch new private label cosmetics and toiletries products under the Pirkka brand.

Traditional channels dominate, but niches such as the Internet up strongly

Although the basic retailer channels dominate distribution, more specialised distributors such as Yves Rocher, Oriflame, The Body Shop, etc., have a significant presence on the market. Internet sales of cosmetics have also grown rapidly in recent years. Growing Internet sales is a result of the fact that consumers have gained trust in online purchasing, particularly in terms of payment methods and safety, but also as delivery times have been reduced. Finns are experienced Internet users, where the vast majority have access to the Web and increasingly, broadband Internet.

Slower forecast growth, but still plenty of potential in the Finnish market

Sales in both volume and constant value terms will continue to witness positive growth over the forecast period aided by healthy demand for premium products. The pampering and indulgence trend will continue in the future, increasing demand for more expensive and speciality products. Purchases of male-specific products are predicted to grow rapidly as it has become more accepted for Finnish men to be interested in pampering and following trends in, for example, skin care. Although most large manufacturers offer products for men, the selection of products is still relatively small. However, industry analysts agree that future product development and advertising will be substantial in this area and that sales will thus continue to grow rapidly.
