Executive summary

Healthy growth continues for cosmetics & toiletries in Norway

In 2008, current value sales of cosmetics and toiletries recorded steady growth. The global credit crisis did not reach Norway until late 2008 and did not have an impact on consumer spending, including cosmetics and toiletries until early 2009. Health and wellbeing remains important to most Norwegians, who tend to take good care of themselves. Products that offer real added value have recorded the best performance. In recent decades, the Norwegian economy was one of the best performers in the industrialised world and Norwegians are confident that Norway’s strong economic foundation will help it overcome global economic challenges.

Cosmetics and toiletries products need to be eco-friendly

Awareness of eco-friendly cosmetics and toiletries in the general population is likely to grow during the forecast period. With more concern over the environment, Norwegian consumers will be selective and focus on purchasing products that are environmentally friendly. Interest groups increasingly have the power to impact on the success or failure of various brands, even those of major players. Leading brands must therefore ensure all the ingredients in their products are environmentally friendly and engage in responsible marketing, either directly informing consumers that products are environmentally friendly or through philanthropic work related to the environment.

The Swan label is also an important means for cosmetics and toiletries players to communicate the environmentally-friendly characteristics of their products. This label enables new players to easily position their brands as eco-friendly, especially in the mass-market. Niche brands are expected to increasingly use this eco-label to differentiate their brands from the competition.

Multinational players dominate cosmetics and toiletries in Norway

Of the many companies supplying cosmetics and toiletries to Norwegian consumers, multinationals lead. The leading players are L’Oréal, Lilleborg, Procter & Gamble, Midelfart Sonesson, Engelschiøn Marwell Hauge and Beiersdorf. Lilleborg is the only domestic player among the leaders. Midelfart Sonesson and Engelschiøn Marwell Hauge are primarily distributors of international brands, while the remaining companies are local subsidiaries of multinationals.

Retailers upgrade shopping experience

2008 witnessed the further development of retail concepts to make shopping more comfortable, fun and convenient. Gimle Parfymeriet opened Norway’s first organic perfumery in Oslo. Pharmacies have upgraded their stores and stepped up marketing campaigns and services. Other health and beauty retailers are adopting multi-channel distribution strategies. Two perfumery chains, Gimle Parfymeriet and Esthetique, launched websites to promote their products. Tahitian Noni meanwhile combines a retail outlet in central Oslo with catalogue sales and direct sales offering multiple means of purchasing.

Slowdown due to economic uncertainty

The global economic recession began to have an impact on Norwegian consumers in 2009 and this will continue to affect growth in the early years of the forecast period. However, the recession will be less severe in Norway than in other countries such as the US or UK, since the Norwegian economy is shored up by significant oil and gas exports. In Norway the recession will manifest itself in terms of slowing year-on-year growth rates rather than an actual decline in sales.

Some product categories, including oral hygiene, are already mature and are not expected to see significant changes in consumption during the forecast period. The fastest growth is expected for sun care products due to more sales of premium and specialist products through pharmacies and specialists. Continued increases in Norwegians travelling abroad will also help sales of sun care. Amongst the larger cosmetics and toiletries sectors, fragrances, colour cosmetics and skin care are forecast to be the most dynamic, the latter due to an ageing population and growth in “cosmeceuticals”.
