Executive summary

Strong economy and increasing disposable incomes spur growth

The growth of the Swedish economy was strong in 2006, resulting in increasing disposable incomes and a general boom in retail expenditure. As a result of greater spending power many consumers shifted to more premium products, particularly in products such as fragrances and colour cosmetics. In the case of colour cosmetics, this stimulated growth despite a change in fashion towards a more natural look, with consumers buying more expensive products in more subtle shades rather than eschewing colour cosmetics completely. Overall, the country’s economic performance and the increased propensity of consumers to buy higher value goods underpinned the growth of the cosmetics and toiletries market in 2006.

but pricing competition at retail level has negative impact

While the strong Swedish economy and increased affordability of higher value products to consumers spurred growth in the cosmetics and toiletries market in 2006, this was to some degree offset by pricing competition at retail level, particularly between supermarkets/hypermarkets and discounters. This placed downwards pressure in the retail prices of many cosmetics and toiletries, dampening value growth somewhat, for example in oral hygiene and bath and shower products. Moreover, the continuous rise in the penetration of private label products in supermarkets and hypermarkets further stifled growth.

Demographic trends and consumer education impact sales

The ageing of the Swedish population and increasing awareness among consumers of health issues, particularly in relation to exposure to the sun, for example, contributed to the shift towards higher value products in 2006. Skin care and sun care were particularly successful in terms of value growth in 2006. While the former benefited from the growing number of older consumers in the country, consumers’ increasing concerns with the dangers of the sun boosted demand for sun protection products. Depilatories benefited from a successful marketing campaign and the fact that the sector was generally underdeveloped, while sun care remained strong thanks to a sunny summer and an ongoing debate of harms of UV radiation.

Multinationals continue to control the market

The cosmetics and toiletries market in Sweden is largely controlled by a relatively small number of multinational players, such as Unilever Group, L’Oréal, Beiersdorf, Procter & Gamble, Henkel and Colgate-Palmolive. The strength of these companies is thanks to their greater ability to implement effective advertising and promotional strategies, and their capacity to invest in new product developments. However, these companies also suffered from the shift to more premium products in 2006 to some degree, as well as decreasing retail prices in the mass segment, where they were most active.

Growth expected to continue, albeit slowing

The cosmetics and toiletries market is expected to continued demonstrating growth in coming years, with a continuous shift towards higher value products with added value properties. However, growth is likely to be more moderate than that seen at the end of the review period due to a relative slowdown in the country’s economic performance. The position of the existing large players in the cosmetics and toiletries market is expected to be maintained, with their grip on the market making the entry of new players difficult. Despite this, polarisation is likely to continue, with some consumers trading up to more expensive products offering added value features, while other are increasingly attracted to the value offered by private label products, which are likely to gain greater shelf space in supermarkets and hypermarkets.
