Executive summary

Market records value sales decline

Slovak cosmetics and toiletries recorded slower current value sales growth of 5% in 2008 compared to strong value sales growth of 8% in the previous year. The positive trend of strong and fast growth of the national economy and implicitly growing purchasing power of inhabitants stopped, influenced by overall present economic crisis not only in the C&T industry, in other retail markets as well. Sales stagnation and decline will likely occur in the C&T market in the five-year forecast period as well.

International cosmetics trends grow in importance

Despite slower or stagnant value sales of the industry, the quality and content of the C&T market gets better. Consumers can choose from a wider range of product types compared with what they could find at the beginning of the century, when the C&T market was only developing with the entrance of international producers and drugstore retailers. With stronger effects of globalisation occurring via mass media (TV, international lifestyle magazines translated into Slovak/Czech), people get can get the latest information on cosmetic trends and what is considered “in”, combined with exposure to TV promotion of cosmetics from internationally known celebrities from the music or film industry, who introduce and recruit the use of the product.

Market led by international brands

Toiletries and cosmetics in Slovakia is characterised by international brands, with their domestic counterparts holding a very low value share. Market competition is very strong, causing most retailers to focus on certain product types. As a result, no retailer achieved an outright lead of the cosmetics and toiletries industry as a whole. None of the companies achieved a substantial share of retail value sales and the top five companies together achieved less than half of total sales. The majority of the main providers grew at a similar speed as the whole market, with some of the major brands seeing a decline in share.

Mass retailers characterise main distribution channels

Mass retailers such as supermarkets/hypermarkets and other grocery retailers held the main share in terms of distribution channels, accounting for one half of all cosmetics and toiletries value sales during 2007/2008. The industry share of mass retailers (hypermarkets, supermarkets, discounters) grew on an annual basis over the review period, mainly due to the continuous expansion to smaller cities. The second most important distribution channel was health and beauty retailers dominated by parapharmacies/drugstores and perfumeries. Within this channel, pharmacies increased its offering to include specialised cosmetics and toiletries. Non-store retailing, led by direct selling and characterised by two international entries Avon and Oriflame, grew in popularity and importance amongst consumers thanks to positively perceived marketing promotion.

Value sales will stagnate or decline in the forecast period

Until late in the review period, C&T in Slovakia was perceived as one of the most strongly developing and retail markets. Overall value growth expectations characterising the earlier period have changed and a stagnant or declining mode is expected over the forecast period, caused by economic difficulties in Europe and the US. As a result, numerous job losses and implicit declining purchasing power of consumers will largely influence retail markets, including the C&T industry.
