Executive summary

Cosmetics and toiletries market continues to see healthy growth in 2007

Cosmetics and toiletries continued to show healthy growth rates in 2007. Though many categories have extremely high penetration levels (hair care, sun care and oral hygiene) there is still considerable scope to expand less mature product areas such as men’s grooming products and baby care. Premium products, particularly within fragrances, remain strong due to increased competition and discounting by retailers. Deodorant sales have benefited from the introduction of Axe by Unilever Israel Ltd in late 2005, which stimulated growth and interest in the category. Cosmetics and toiletries sales are set to grow at over 4% annually over the forecast period.

Natural ingredients are the year’s hottest trend

Growing interest in natural ingredients was the key trend in 2007. The categories where this was most apparent were baby toiletries, skin care and toothpaste. In 2007, more skin care companies found it necessary to highlight their use of natural ingredients. Consumers are now increasingly aware of the potentially harmful effects of chemical-based products on skin. Companies such as L’Oréal Israel Ltd, with its recent launch of the True Match Minerals series, have begun to emphasise the natural elements of their products. Toothpastes containing various herbal extracts, such as Colgate Propolis by S Schestowitz Ltd, are becoming ever more popular with Israeli consumers. In 2007 most companies that were able to highlight their natural credentials benefited from this trend. This interest in natural products or natural-based products is set to increase in 2008.

Increased competition characterises the cosmetics and toiletries market

Increased competition and aggressive and more frequent marketing campaigns characterised the cosmetics and toiletries market in 2007. Many categories are highly fragmented with several brands competing for dominance. Only three categories are different, in the sense that one company holds a significant share. Within toothpastes, S Schestowitz Ltd has built a value share of 44%. In shampoo Procter & Gamble Israel MOD Ltd has a value share of 44%, while the company also monopolises men’s and women’s razors and blades.

Store-based retail remains the key distribution channel

There was little change in distribution channels for 2007. Store-based retailing still accounts for 100% of retail sales. Pharmacies/drugstores and department stores maintained their position as favourites for buying premium items, particularly fragrances and colour cosmetics. The range of products sold in most national chained supermarkets/hypermarkets now also includes premium items such as premium fragrances and leading colour cosmetics brands. Competition between retailers is fierce with New-Pharm Drugstores Ltd (the second largest pharmacy/drugstore chain) and Hamashbir Lezarchan (Israel’s leading department store) merging their fragrances and colour cosmetics departments into one business unit. Sales of cosmetics and toiletries through convenience stores are set to increase over the forecast period due to increased demand for wider product availability.

Unit prices projected to continue to drop due to increased competition

Cosmetics and toiletries sales in 2007 reached almost NIS3.6 billion and are forecast to keep growing at over 4% annually over the forecast period. This rapid expansion is based on the strong economy with economic growth set to continue at a healthy rate. Domestic and regional volatility and a global economic slowdown could hamper growth for the Israeli economy and the cosmetics and toiletries market. Unit prices are expected to continue their gradual decline over the forecast period as companies will need to offer heavier discounting in a market becoming ever more saturated with competing brands. Overall, the prospects for companies able to entice Israel’s increasingly discerning consumers to purchase their products are good. Spending per capita, particularly on premium goods, is extremely high in Israel. With disposable income set to increase over the forecast period, consumer spending on cosmetics and toiletries is likely to grow.
