Executive summary

Emerging black middle class drives growth

The emerging black middle class served to stimulate the growth of many products within the cosmetics and toiletries market in South Africa in 2006. This is a large, previously untapped consumer segment, who are increasingly educated regarding the types of products on offer, and the benefit of their use, particularly those specifically developed for ethnic South Africans. While this consumer group uses the same products popular to their middle-income group, there are areas that cater specifically to their needs, such as hair care. Innovation and product launches see many brand extensions into the ethnic hair care niche as manufacturers increase their respective shares. Skin care, fragrances and deodorants are also areas seeing growth as a result of this growing consumer base.

Male consumers stimulate growth due to increasing awareness of product benefits

Along with the global trend towards the “metrosexual” male, as well as the increased focus on male singing and acting stars who support the “bling” lifestyle associated with excess, indulgence and pampering that appeals to so many consumers, so a growing number of South African males are becoming increasingly aware of the availability of cosmetics and toiletries developed specifically for them. Skin care, bath and shower products, deodorants and fragrances are all areas in which innovation and the availability of an increased number of products stimulated sales in 2006.

Leading manufacturers extend brands into complimentary areas

South Africa’s leading manufacturers within the cosmetics and toiletries market have capitalised on their leading brands by extending them into other, complimentary areas. These leading brands are already loved and trusted by the South African population, and by extending the brand range manufacturers ensure that they gain a foothold elsewhere in the market. Leading brands within skin and body care are extending into male-specific products, for example. Similarly, brands that are strong in areas such as bath and shower products are extending into deodorants.

South Africa sees move towards products with added benefits

Continued innovation within the cosmetics and toiletries market, has seen a growing trend towards products with additional benefits other than their basic function. Skin care, both facial and body, is an area that has seen much of this activity. Benefits range from anti-ageing, anti-cellulite, skin cell renewal and even self tanning ingredients. Colour cosmetics, and facial make-up in particular, is another area in which this trend has taken a strong hold in South Africa in 2006.

Increased interest in products with SPF features

With increased awareness of the dangers of over-exposure to the harsh environmental elements, as well as the damage that the sun can do to the skin, many of the new products launched in 2006 included SPF features as standard. Skin care and colour cosmetics are the areas of the cosmetics and toiletries market where this trend is most prominent, although there was also some innovation in hair care in this regard. This had an adverse impact on the potential for growth in the sun care environment, although this was to some extent offset by new product developments in sun care.

Favourable forecast period performance expected

An improved economic environment and a wider consumer base will drive sales of cosmetics and toiletries during the forecast period. Skin care, baby care and depilatories look set to be the most dynamic sectors in constant value terms, with increased sales of premium products and the launch of more innovative products playing a major part in their development.
