Executive summary

Good Performance Driven by Insatiable Consumer Demand

The growth in consumer disposable income boosted the performance of the cosmetics and toiletries industry in Singapore in 2007, helping it to move beyond basic products to those of a more sophisticated nature and improved performance. Products of a more optional nature such as nourishers/ anti-agers, which are generally expensive also saw increased uptake as consumers moved towards a more sophisticated personal grooming regime. Manufacturer activity in new product innovations including the rapid development of product lines and extensions improved convenience in usage while enhanced product capabilities further attracted an increasingly affluent consumer base. These circumstances led to favourable growth of cosmetics and toiletries in 2007 outpacing growth in the previous year.

Higher Spending Power Forms the Basis of Product Innovation

With the unemployment rate standing at only 2% in September 2007, the high number of working Singaporeans resulted in increased expenditure during 2007. Trading-up to premium brands continued into 2007 as consumers splashed out on products with perceived quality and strong brand reputation. Manufacturers even invested in product innovations during 2007 in order to meet insatiable consumer demand. These included the utilisation of expensive natural ingredients such as red wine extract to fight the signs of ageing, the addition of collagen to lip gloss to reduce fine lines and the inclusion of active ingredients in toothpaste to achieve a professional whitening effect. Although modern consumers live increasingly hectic lifestyles, their rise in image-consciousness means many are willing to spend extra on their daily personal grooming, opting for luxury products to help maintain youthful looks.

International Manufacturers Maintain a Strong Foothold

Cosmetics and toiletries giants, L'Oréal (S) Pte Ltd and Procter & Gamble (S) Pte Ltd continued to dominate in 2007. Their strong brand portfolios across various ranges combined with extensive advertising budgets, allowed both companies to sustain and even advance their industry shares during 2007. Domestic manufacturers remained less significant, lagging behind in terms of product innovations and product variety. The slow performance of domestic manufacturers was also because the majority of these players offer mass brands that faced more challenges in 2007 as increasingly affluent consumers traded up to premium brands.

Distribution Channels Become More Exciting

Department stores continued to be the leading channel for cosmetics and toiletries in 2007 as its focus on premium brands remained the main factor behind its success. Players such as CK Tang and Robinsons introduced exclusive premium cosmetics brands during 2007 including Benefit - only available at Tangs Orchard. Perfumeries also generated more excitement as Korean brands such as The Face Shop and Beauty Credit further expanded their presence, seeing consumers opt for products with natural ingredients at affordable prices.

Product Maturity Leads to Stagnation

The performance of the cosmetics and toiletries industry is expected to slow over the forecast period as basic products such as toothpaste, shampoo, and facial cleanser already enjoy a high penetration rate among consumers and are unlikely to experience flamboyant growth rates once again. Growth of cosmetics and toiletries sales therefore will depend on manufacturers and their rate of product innovations including more proclaimed benefits to attract consumers.
