Executive summary

Sales grow hand-in-hand with income

Rising incomes have proved to be the major growth driver for sales of cosmetics and toiletries. Investment in infrastructure by the government and in various industries by private sector companies has ensured that incomes have risen faster than ever before. Armed with greater disposable income, consumers have been able to spend freely on cosmetics and toiletries. Higher income urban consumers have indulged in niche products, such as fragrances, skin care and colour cosmetics, while lower income and rural consumers have increased purchases of basic products, such as oral hygiene, bath and shower products and hair care.

Change in consumer lifestyles and aspirations spur growth

2008 witnessed consumer lifestyles changing significantly. Indians, who have long been perceived to be more savers than spenders, increasingly loosened their purse strings and started to “live for today”. This changing mindset led to consumers pampering themselves and spending more on cosmetics and toiletries. Modernisation of the country has also led to changing aspirations, where the need to be considered good looking, well-groomed and stylish has taken on newfound importance. Urban men have become aware of personal grooming and are seeking out relevant products. An increasing number of women joining the workforce has given an impetus to sales of colour cosmetics, skin care and fragrances.

Hindustan Unilever still leads, but faces increasing competition

Hindustan Unilever continues to remain the leader in terms of value sales of cosmetics and toiletries. The company benefits from having the widest product range and, as a result, is able to satisfy a good portion of the daily needs of consumers. Having a strong distribution network also gives the company an edge over its peers. However, the company has come under increasing pressure from smaller rivals, such as Dabur, Emami and L’Oréal, which have adopted aggressive expansion policies and have consequently eaten into Hindustan Unilever’s value share.

Modern retail expands footprint

The distribution model of cosmetics and toiletries has undergone small but significant changes in recent years. While independent small grocers – or the so-called “kirana” stores – still account for the largest share of sales, an increasing number of consumers are buying their products from supermarkets/hypermarkets. With modern retail expanding in India at a breakneck speed, the number of department stores and supermarkets/ hypermarkets in cities has increased greatly, thereby improving accessibility for middle-income and lower income consumers. These outlets attract consumers by offering lower prices and a wider range of products. With rising demand for colour cosmetics and skin care, beauty specialist retailers have improved their presence and account for an increasing share of sales. In addition, direct selling companies, such as Avon, Amway and Oriflame, have renewed their efforts to penetrate the Indian market by launching more products and expanding their sales forces.

Strong growth expected

Growth in cosmetics and toiletries is expected to be robust over the forecast period in constant value terms. The continued rise in incomes is expected to play a major role in driving growth. While urban consumers will remain the main engines of growth, rural consumers are expected increasingly to contribute to rising volume sales of basic necessities, such as hair care and oral hygiene. Improved distribution chains in rural areas will give rural consumers better access to cosmetics and toiletries. At the same time, urban consumers are expected to trade-up to more value-added products, such as those that are considered “masstige” or even premium.
