Executive summary

Cosmetics and toiletries start to recover from price war

Over the review period, price competition constrained cosmetics and toiletries. There is a lot of pressure on manufacturers to deliver cheap products rather than new and exciting products with added value. Except for premium products, mainly sold through specialists, cosmetics and toiletries suffered from the competitive retail climate in the Netherlands. The effect of price competition meant that prices dropped and that there was no room for added-value products. In addition, Dutch retailers put pressure on manufacturers to offer extreme price promotions. In some products, this led to more multi-packs and bulk packs being sold. However, 2006 saw a shift, with value generally stabilising across cosmetics and toiletries, declining only slowly or even showing growth.

Bath and shower products still under pressure

Price competition continued to have an effect on the development of bath and shower products, although current value sales decline was not as dramatic as in previous years. Price competition had a negative effect on value, as both supermarkets/hypermarkets and pharmacies/drugstores continued to compete on price. In 2006, however, consumer confidence increased and consumers began to be more inclined to ignore price and choose more luxurious products.

Skin care shows healthy growth due to value-added products

Skin care continues to show steady growth. Facial moisturisers saw particularly strong growth, although high-priced nourishers/anti-agers also proved dynamic. Skin care growth was largely driven by new product development. In general purpose body care, however, the influence of price competition was more noticeable and more traditional and standard products are under pressure. This development was counteracted by the trend towards added-value products with special benefits. Spa-type products that offer nurturing and relaxing benefits are increasingly popular. In addition, products that offer functions such as anti-aging, slimming or anti-cellulite benefits are also increasingly important.

Recovery from price war and added-value products indicate growth

Private label products are expected to become increasingly popular and consumers will expect mass cosmetics and toiletries to improve their value for money positioning during the forecast period. However, overall sales will still show good growth. New product development will add value and premium products will further boost constant value growth. The tailing off of price competition will also assist in a slow recovery.

Depilatories, men’s grooming products and skin care are expected to see the most dynamic growth over the forecast period. Depilatories and men’s grooming products are comparatively underdeveloped, have significant scope for product innovation and the added benefit of gender-specific marketing opportunities. Skin care will remain a core category thanks to ongoing demand for facial moisturisers.
