Executive summary

Sales increases remain healthy in 2008

Tunisia’s economic policies and pragmatic approach to structural reforms have produced significant gains and the global financial crisis has had no direct financial impact on its economy. Even with high unemployment of 16%, Tunisia’s active working population that is seeking to improve standards of living, is contributing to the country’s economy by buying products that make them feel and look better. Cosmetics and toiletries is considered to be one of the more important markets in the country characterised by popular consumable products. Innovation and new product developments in 2008 have resulted in high current value market growth compared to the review period.

New product launches influence the market in 2008

The cosmetics and toiletries market has seen new revolutionary product launches in 2008. As consumers became receptive to improved product packaging introduced in 2007, market players followed through by introducing new developed products to their already marketed brands with lines that meet consumers’ health needs. With increased distribution networks, higher income levels and wider promotional strategies, consumers became better informed about the new launches. They also had more opportunity to choose their ideal products thanks to higher income levels, especially among middle income demographic groups.

Domestic brands show potential

The cosmetics and toiletries market in Tunisia is prized among multinational players such as Unilever and Henkel, which managed to shape the market via their experience, enabling their leading brands to be locally produced through partnership agreements. Nonetheless, a shift is now being noted with some domestic players, such as Laboratoire Nihel, managing to launch new product developments of their own in 2008, boosting their market share and putting domestic brands on a similar footing as some multinational brands.

Domestic brands have proven successful in Tunisia, as seen by the recent buy out of the Souplesse brand that was purchased by Henkel in 2006 from Laboratoire Jasminal. The latter’s shares were transferred to the Henkel-Alki company which is a partnership agreement between the multinational Henkel and the domestic company Alki Tunisie.

Consumers seek professional advice

Supermarkets/hypermarkets continue to dominate the retail landscape for cosmetics and toiletries products with their larger brand selection, better advertising, and continuous sales promotions. Yet a new shift has been seen in pharmacist retailers where this channel’s market share had increased dramatically for sun care products with consumers feeling more confident about obtaining a professional’s opinion about the best sun care treatment for their skin.

Direct door-to-door selling has seen strong declines in retail sales due to stronger consumer awareness over copycat brands that had negative results, while brands such as Avon, classified as direct selling products, failed to reach their potential. This was due to their untraditional marketing strategy in Tunisia, with these products being marketed and sold mainly in regional areas in the country in hair salons or in neighbourhood hairdressers. This method of selling was not solely for cosmetics and toiletries products but also for clothes, shoes and bed linen, among other items. The outdoor market is still seeing growth via illicit products imported from neighbouring countries, claiming to be original brands rather than poor imitations.

Better consumer targeting will improve sales in the forecast period

The cosmetics and toiletries industry is expected to record positive constant value growth over the forecast period. While the market has seen revolutionary product launches in 2008, growth will only continue to increase in the forecast period, as other market players will begin to launch similar products, and strengthen their advertising on a national level. More focus will also be expected from market players in better educating and targeting respective consumer groups in order to increase their market shares.
