Executive summary

Good performance in 2008 triggered by demand for innovations

The economic slowdown did not have a major effect in demand for cosmetics and toiletries. The interest in personal care and image are apparent among the Dutch, who are more willing to spend more for these products. All categories experienced a better performance in 2008, because of a marked shift towards more advanced formulae such as longer-lasting effects in colour cosmetics, more effective ingredients to enhance dental care and options that provide solutions such as firming in skin care or preventing hair loss in hair care. Meanwhile, retail prices increased by approximately 10%, due to higher distribution and production costs.

Dutch males widening the market

Men’s grooming products was once again the star within cosmetics and toiletries, increasing at above industry growth. Mass-market manufacturers such as Beiersdorf and L’Oréal are succeeding in increasing usage of less developed categories such as skin care, while more products for men in hair care and deodorants are inducing demand for male-specific products. For example, new formulae, such as Beiersdorf’s Nivea for Men Hair Recharge incorporates a shampoo and lotion whose formula helps prevent hair loss, were supported by heavy advertising, which triggered men’s curiosity to try them.

L’Oréal leads and stimulates demand with innovations

Innovations were responsible for 80% of value growth in 2008. Innovations in mature categories such as hair care and skin care were the key drivers of growth overall. L’Oréal continued to consolidate its position as leader in cosmetics and toiletries by introducing innovative formulae and supporting them with high-profile television and print advertising. The launch of L’Oréal Excell ’10, a colourant that colours the hair in 10 minutes, triggered sales in the stagnant colourants category in 2008.

Supermarkets grow

Drugstores continue to dominate the distribution of cosmetics and toiletries. However, supermarkets saw steady growth in sales in 2008, as retailers gave non-food products more attention in terms of display and promotion. Grocery stores’ main challenge is the limited shelf space available for cosmetics and toiletries, resulting in a smaller assortment offer in comparison to drugstores. Non-store sales were driven by internet retailing, as more Dutch people used the internet not only for product information and to compare prices, but also to buy online.

Manufacturers committed to boosting volume sales in less mature categories

Future growth in cosmetics and toiletries will be hindered by the high degree of maturity existing in large categories such as hair care, deodorants and skin care, where high penetration means that in volume terms the market is unlikely to achieve much growth. Manufacturers will continue to resort to innovation in order to build value growth, by inducing Dutch consumers to shift to more value-added products.

Key attributes to shape future innovation will evolve around convenience, image and health and will be represented by product improvement which focuses on enhancing personal healthcare or solving a problem. Within skin care, anti-ageing formulae incorporating the latest technology and innovations aimed at maintaining healthy and younger looking skin will continue to drive demand. In hair care, this will be formulae that solve problems such as hair loss. In colour cosmetics, Dutch women will be attracted to more variety in colour, but also to longer-lasting formulae and also products incorporating functional elements such as anti-ageing.
