Executive summary

Cosmetics and toiletries grows at a steady pace

Portuguese cosmetics and toiletries grew slowly in 2007 within the context of the economic recovery and the recent strength seen in the Euro currency, which has restricted exports on which Portugal depends. Portuguese consumers have become more sophisticated and more aware of global trends in fashion and cosmetics, which has allowed producers to introduce and develop further product ranges which address new-found needs such as ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ cosmetic products. The continuous improvements, differentiation and segmentation within cosmetics and toiletries are expected to maintain overall consumption in Portugal.

Demand and affinity for ‘natural’ ingredient-based cosmetics increases

Due to various publications and medical journals’ analysis of cosmetics, products that include ‘natural’ ingredients and which have fewer chemicals have been popular in 2007. As global awareness of artificially modified products increases, whether within food, detergents or cosmetics and toiletries, sales are expected to reflect a shift in consumer behaviour. The Portuguese public have simply followed the trend that has been rampant in other European markets. Companies such as L’Oreal Portugal Lda to Beiersdorf Portuguesa Lda have strongly innovated and placed greater emphasis on ‘natural’ ingredients, from coconut milk to fruit extracts.

Major players continue to innovate and compete amongst themselves

Due to high entry costs and the enormous capital available to major players, L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble Portugal SA, Fima/VG – Distribuição de Produtos Alimentares, Lda, Beiersdorf and Reckitt Benckiser Portugal Lda continued to dominate the cosmetics and toiletries category. Portuguese consumers continue to prefer and trust a reputable brand over a local alternative or private label product. This, however, must not be mistaken for extremely loyal consumers as they may well switch between brands owned by the major multinationals.

Discounters compete in the broader market

Firms such as Lidl, Minipreço and Plus have begun to stock reasonable amounts of cosmetics products that are primarily for daily use, such as skin care products. The landscape of cosmetics and toiletries distribution is seeing certain changes regarding discounters, which also successfully offer private label products. Nonetheless, multinationals such as Sonae, which recently purchased all Carrefour supermarket/hypermarket branches in Portugal, and Jumbo continue to dominate distribution channels ahead of health and beauty retailers and small grocery retailers.

Product differentiation continues to take the ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ avenue

Health concerns have already had an impact on the Portuguese cosmetics and toiletries category in 2007 and future product launches are expected to continue to focus on addressing these issues by including ‘natural’ agents during the forecast period. Environmental issues have yet to significantly influence the Portuguese consumer, however, as awareness increases, fair trade products and further health and wellness products are expected to flourish.
