Executive summary

Mature Market of Daily Hygiene Products

In 2006 the slowdown of cosmetics and toiletries market continued. The market is characterised by several developed product types for which, due to high per capita consumption, new growth periods are not expected. While deodorants or shower gels are part of consumers' daily hygiene, oral care or colour cosmetics are still underdeveloped. with relatively low per capita consumption. However, although this means significant growth potential, the change of customer habits is more difficult than manufacturers and distributors previously believed.

VAT Reduced from 25% to 20% at Beginning of 2006

2006 saw two changes to the value added tax rates in Hungary. The firstly was on 1 January 2006, when the rate of 25% was decreased to 20%. This directly influenced consumer prices of cosmetics and toiletries, as it resulted lower retail prices at the beginning of 2006, although later prices slowly returned to the previous level. Secondly, after the parliamentary elections the government severely tightening financial actions to reduce the distressing state budget deficit. In September 2006, the 15% rate of VAT was increased to 20%, resulting in higher consumer prices for food and several public services. This measure only indirectly influenced demand for cosmetics and toiletries via the increased the food and housing costs faced by households.

Wellness: Concept Which Connects Several Aspects of Life

The success of the wellness concept in Hungary is tightly connected with spas and balneotherapy. The country sits on one of the richest geothermal and medical water sources anywhere in the world. In recent years many wellness hotels based on the mineral springs have been built around the country. Wellness is forecast to remain the leading trend in the market in coming years. This concept is present in different areas of life, and influences not only food or cosmetics, but also travel, tourism, foodservice, catering or health protection, and the future of the wellness concept seems bright, as customers meet wellness in several aspects of life.

Massive Expansion of Store-based Retailers in the Provinces

As the Central Region's (Budapest and its outskirts) retail environment is mature, new investments are moving out to the provinces searching such settlements, where purchasing power and the population are sufficient to make outlets profitable. In 2006 discounters such as Lidl or Penny Market and Tesco were the main drivers of this process. The existing drogerie-chains, dm-Drogerie Markt and Rossmann, also had to face the entry of a new competitor: Schlecker. This expansion resulted in a more competitive environment in the provinces, which was important for direct sellers, particularly Avon, that could be almost the only main supplier of upper-mass, quality products in these areas.

Decrease of Real Wages Over Forecast Period

In 2007 in the frame of the government restriction policy aimed at tackling the state budget deficit, several new measures will come into force which are likely to adversely impact households' disposable incomes. Beside the reduction of real wages due to the new different taxes, increased inflation and housing costs are the main factors likely to negatively impact household budgets. It is estimated that demand for daily hygiene products such as deodorants or shower gel will not change, but that colour cosmetics or fragrances, which are more "luxury" products, will be the main victims, as the these are most likely to be given up by consumers to save money for other products.
