Executive summary
Convenience is Key
Convenience continues to be a key trend for UK consumers. Convenient products have benefited from increasingly busy lifestyles. Easy application and usage, as well as time-saving and multifunctional characteristics, are the main requirements. Some of these products have a higher price positioning, but consumers appear willing to pay higher unit prices if products can offer genuine benefits in terms of saving time.
Supermarket continue to dominate
Today’s time-poor consumer continues to look for ways to save time, and supermarkets/hypermarkets pander to this desire by offering convenience, a huge range of products under one roof and heavy discounting. In recent years, supermarkets/hypermarkets consistently eroded the dominance of pharmacies/drugstores.
Market Dominated by Major Players
The market is dominated by major players, which snap up any successful independents. As in recent years, significant shifts in overall value share in this industry have primarily been achieved through major mergers and acquisitions. The most notable example of this in 2006 was L’Oréal’s purchase of The Body Shop. With this acquisition, L’Oréal has made a dramatic move into the retailing and development of a natural, environmentally-and ethically-friendly range of products. While this move has not been without controversy, it increased L’Oréal’s presence in natural products, which continues to be a growth area.
Focus on Men Intensifies
2007 saw further developments in men’s grooming products, as in previous years. UK men continue to buy into grooming, as it becomes increasingly acceptable for men to take pride in their appearance. Two different categories of products are growing in popularity – those relying heavily on science for their claims, and those that appear to have moved away from this to a more “back-to-basics” approach. As a result, manufacturers continue to focus their attention on new grooming products for men, which include fake tan for men, waxing products for men and anti-wrinkle cream for men. Slightly slower sales growth than had been expected has disappointed players, but has not reduced the plethora of products available exclusively for the male consumer.
Private Label Slump
In 2007, the private label market share continued to be eroded by branded products, as private label lost value share across the board. Heavy brand promotions and fierce pricing wars by supermarkets helped convince consumers that branded cosmetics and toiletries products were worth spending more money on.
