Executive summary

Country’s economy pushes growth

During several years of economic growth and slowly decreasing unemployment rates, Uruguayan consumers have kept purchasing cosmetics and toiletries at a steady pace. Although several sectors - such as deodorants and hair care - are already maturing, the increase in disposable income has boosted premiumisation while gradually allowing low income consumers to begin purchasing products that they would have considered superfluous in previous years. Fragrances benefited the most both from increased sales of both premium and mass products in 2007.

The stress is on “care”

2007 witnessed the consolidation of the trend in which female consumers, who are the key purchasers of cosmetics and toiletries, have become conscious of ageing and sun related damage to skin and hair. This has resulted in sales of skin, hair and sun care products posting better performances in detriment of other strong sectors such as deodorants or colour cosmetics.

International companies dominate cosmetics and toiletries sales

Nine of the top ten ranked companies in cosmetics and toiletries are international manufacturers which also have important presence in neighbouring countries from where they import most of the products available in Uruguay. Unilever del Uruguay SA, Colgate-Palmolive Inc SA and L’Oréal Uruguay SA rank in the top three positions, with each leading at least one of the larger sectors. The only domestic company among the top ten, Terry SA which ranks seventh overall, has a strong presence and good consumer recognition and has diversified its product portfolio to include quality products in all sectors excluding oral care and depilatories.

Direct selling improves performance

The two main direct sellers of cosmetics and toiletries in Uruguay, Nuvó Cosmetic’s SA and Cosmeticos Avon de Uruguay SA kept improving their respective shares ranking respectively fourth and fifth overall in 2007. The growing acceptance of these companies by Uruguayan women, with the benefits of having complete product portfolios brought into their homes through large sales forces, have resulted in increased sales through the direct selling channel.

More growth lies ahead

The main trends fuelling the growth of the cosmetics and toiletries industry as a whole are foreseen to remain strong during the forecast period. Consumer awareness of the health problems related to unprotected exposure to the sun and the need to delay the effects of ageing on skin and hair should keep pushing retail sales in an economy foreseen to keep growing, though at a slowing pace in most product areas.
