Executive summary

Economic scenario worse than expected

In 2007, expectations for the performance of the Mexican economy over the forecast period were less than favourable, due to the volatility shown by financial markets and the slowdown of the US economy. However, 2008 posted a scenario which was worse than expected, with higher levels of inflation and unemployment affecting consumers’ purchasing power. Credit default problems were seen, remittances fell, and the prices of basic goods increased sharply in 2008. Consequently, the cosmetics and toiletries market saw a lower rate of growth in current value terms during the second half of 2008.

Changes in distribution affect cosmetics and toiletries

During 2008 the cosmetics and toiletries market saw changes in distribution in response to changes in the economic situation and consumers’ purchasing habits. Retailers expanded, direct sellers continued to sell at retail level and beauty stores boomed. This change in the distribution environment was due to a necessity to improve sales and minimise the potential negative effects of a slowdown in the Mexican economy. The current strategy for most players is to effectively penetrate the lower income segment. The current retail expansion into smaller cities and rural communities offers companies the opportunity to reach new markets and sustain sales. Retail expansion is expected to continue, but at slightly more moderate rates than observed in 2007 and 2008.

Strict legislation changes the dynamics of the market

In 2008, there was rising concern that “Registros Sanitarios” (Sanitary Registries) Legislation which applied to OTC healthcare products and Rx medication may expand to beauty and cosmetics. The COFEPRIS (Mexican Federal Commission for the Protection of Sanitary Safety) recently announced that cosmetics would be under review in 2009. According to the COFEPRIS, around 95% of beauty and cosmetics products comply with regulations. Products not complying with official legislation are mostly economy and imitation products coming from Asia, or “miracle” products, all growing by double-digits. These products represent unfair competition to established companies in terms of pricing, and represent an important health threat, as they have been proven to cause chronic severe infections and skin irritation.

Piracy remains considerable problem

The cosmetics and toiletries market faces a challenge from counterfeit products and piracy, as well as parallel trading, which all have an impact on sales of colour cosmetics, skin care products and fragrances. Lack of consumer education and unfavourable economic conditions is boosting demand for these products. The issue is serious; for example it is estimated that pirate fragrances accounted for over Mx$2 billion in 2008. The Mexican police are making more efforts to confiscate products which have been illegally smuggled into the country. Even though government efforts to reduce piracy are evident, the issue poses a strong threat to the official cosmetics and toiletries market as long as demand continues.

Consumer segmentation and affordable prices to support future growth

More than ever, Mexicans now have a wider array of products available for their daily beauty and personal hygiene needs. The number of brands and products available in the market more than tripled in the 2005-2007 period, reflecting stronger consumer segmentation and intense competition in cosmetics and toiletries. Consumer segmentation and multi-purpose segmentation is likely to remain strong over the forecast period, as most companies struggle to differentiate themselves from others. Moreover, the decline in consumer expenditure due to an anticipated slowdown in the economy in 2008 and 2009 might force companies to effectively manage costs, to be able to offer affordable retail prices to consumers.
