Executive summary

Growth slows due to economic downturn

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries in 2008 faced slower current value growth in 2008 than in the previous year as consumers cut down their spending due to the economic downturn towards the end of 2008. Consumers became more cautious in their spending as disposable income is expected to drop further in 2009.

Mass brands outperform their premium counterparts

The value share of mass brands in skin care, colour cosmetics and sun care increased in 2008 as more consumers traded down to cheaper mass brands. Consumers may choose products with less functionality claims favouring highly competitive pricing in order to save money during the economic downturn. Products such as bath and shower products and oral hygiene are less affected by the economic climate compared to skin care and colour cosmetics, as the former are daily necessities which consumers need to purchase irrespective of economic conditions.

Multinationals lead in cosmetics and toiletries

Taiwan Shiseido continued to lead in cosmetics and toiletries in Taiwan in 2008. Its value share increased despite the economic downturn as the company offers both mass and premium brands suitable for both brand- and price-conscious consumers. Direct sellers, such as Avon, Amway and the Kelti Group, faced tough times in 2008 due to competition from companies such as Taiwan Shiseido and L'Oréal, which offer innovative products at competitive prices.

Increasingly important role of parapharmacies/drugstores

Parapharmacies/drugstores played an important role in cosmetics and toiletries as its value share increased in 2008. Chain drugstore retailers, such as Watson’s and Cosmed, often cooperated with cosmetics and toiletries manufacturers to carry out price promotions in an attempt to attract more consumers into their stores. On the other hand, the value share of internet retailing also increased in 2008 due to the expansion of internet retailers such as PayEasy, which offers a wide range of products at competitive prices.

Tough times expected for the forecast period

Cosmetics and toiletries sales are expected to continue to struggle over the forecast period, as the current economic situation is likely to take some time before much improvement is seen. Cosmetics and toiletries is expected to post a negative constant value CAGR over the forecast period as consumers are expected to cut down their spending on cosmetics and toiletries during these tough times.
