Executive summary

Cosmetics and toiletries sales unaffected by lacklustre economy

Taiwan’s economy saw a sluggish 2006 due to an unstable political situation and high levels of bad credit card debts. However, there was still growth in the retail sales of cosmetics and toiletries, largely due to the plethora of information on cosmetics and toiletries available in the media. Television programmes offered beauty tips and product reviews, celebrities set trends with their images and endorsements and men’s magazines grew in number and circulation, which helped to fuel the consumption of such products.

Sun care boosted by fashion for fair skin

Sun care led retail value growth in 2006, as women increasingly prefer fair skin tones. Dynamic growth was driven by consumers using sun protection to maintain fair skin and becoming increasingly aware of the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays. Sun care manufacturers recognised this growing demand and developed sun protection enhanced with anti-aging formulas. Other major cosmetics and toiletries manufacturers, especially those in skin care, also responded with whitening variants, with these particularly prominent in face masks, toners and facial moisturisers. It is believed that a fair complexion makes a person look younger, particularly with hydrated and healthy-looking skin.

Mass cosmetics brands appeal to consumers

Mass cosmetics brands have a greater appeal to consumers than premium brands. Growth in overall cosmetics and toiletries was mainly driven during the review period by increased distribution via mass channels and new product launches of mass brands. Following the success of mass brands in pharmacies/drugstores, premium brands such as Elea Cosmetics’ Elizabeth Arden and Palmer’s are expected to enter via these mass channels in the near future.

Sales via department stores affected by credit card crisis

Department stores is the leading distribution channel in cosmetics and toiletries. However, sales via department stores declined in 2006 due to the negative impact of credit card debt. Consumers cut back on their credit card purchases and, as a result, distribution channels that accept credit card payments were affected, including department stores and direct sales. On the other hand, frequent promotions and price discounts saw the share of pharmacies/drugstores increase. Consumers often prefer to shop at pharmacies/drugstores, where they are less likely to be pestered by sales assistants. In addition, these channels often offer a wider range of cosmetics and toiletries.

Product development using natural ingredients

Consumers became more knowledgeable and conscious about their health during the review period, thanks to television programmes. They are increasingly concerned with the chemical compositions in cosmetics and toiletries, especially since banned substances were found in SK-II products in China towards the end of the review period. Products with natural ingredients are perceived as environmentally-friendly, pure, gentle and effective. Hence, many cosmetics and toiletries manufacturers are developing natural variants.

Strong growth forecast, powered by high value categories

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries are expected to post impressive growth over the forecast period, with high value gains in the core categories of skin care, hair care and colour cosmetics. Men’s grooming products and sun care are expected to see particularly dynamic growth, although this belies more modest increment in actual terms.
