Executive summary

Economic downturn affects growth in 2008

Cosmetics and toiletries in Hong Kong sees lower current value growth in 2008 over the previous year due to slower performance in skin care, sun care, baby care and bath and shower products. Value sales growth was slightly affected by the economic downturn towards the end of 2008. Consumers are getting more conscious in terms of spending due to the economic downturn, which then affect cosmetics and toiletries sales in 2008. Unit prices were increasing for the majority of cosmetics and toiletries products, mainly due to increasing oil and commodity prices.

Natural and organic products shine

Consumers are more aware of the presence and benefits of using natural and organic products. As health consciousness rises, so does demand for organic products with natural ingredients, especially skin care products. Despite the higher unit prices, consumers are willing to pay more for the positive health effects derived from using these products. As a result, there are an increasing number of concept stores for organic cosmetics and toiletries products in Hong Kong to meet the demands of consumers.

Men’s deodorants enjoys strongest growth

Men’s deodorants recorded the highest value growth in 2008. This was mainly contributed by the rise in average temperature in Hong Kong, spurring the greater need for protection against perspiration and odour. Furthermore, there is an increasing popularity of outdoor sports such as trekking and working out in gyms for the urban male. Deodorants products are always preferred during exercising to keep consumers fresh and prevent odour. Most of the men’s deodorants brands such as Gillette Series and Nivea for Men have mass positioning

Department stores gains ground

Cosmetics and toiletries products are mainly distributed through supermarkets/hypermarkets, chemists/pharmacies, parapharmacies/drugstores, beauty specialist retailers and department stores. Department stores particularly saw sales growth as a result of rising popularity of premium brands in skin care, colour cosmetics and fragrances. Although unit prices at department stores tend to be higher, some tourists and locals are willing to pay more for genuine premium products versus buying from health and beauty retailers, some of which sell parallel imported products.

Consumers getting conscious on spending

The constant value forecast growth will be lower than that of the review period in constant value terms as a result of the continued economic downturn in 2009. People are becoming more conscious on their spending, thus reducing on consumption. The better performing categories expected in the forecast period are skin care and colour cosmetics, as many new product launches are anticipated.
