Executive summary

Strong economy translates into continuing spending on beauty care

In 2007, the Canadian economy remained strong, with continuing positive employment trends and increases in per capita incomes. The upbeat economy was behind the solid performance of the Canadian retail industry, including beauty care sales, with retail sales of cosmetics and toiletries seeing continued growth in 2007. Furthermore, indicative of the shift towards better-quality and therefore more expensive beauty care products was the slower volume growth compared to current value growth in most beauty products as well as the decline in old-fashioned staples like bar soaps.

Greying population behind ongoing demand for anti-ageing skin care

The increasing proportion of mature and older Canadians is providing an expanding consumer base for skin care products with anti-ageing properties, one of the fastest-growing areas in Canadian beauty care. Older Canadians nowadays lead longer and healthier lives and are more active socially, including a higher rate of labour force participation. The changing lifestyles of older Canadians encourage more attention to be paid to physical appearance, which is reflected in continuing strong sales of products with anti-ageing claims.

Acquisitions help to grow sales in highly developed beauty care

Acquisitions in and consolidation of the beauty care industry were notable features in Canada over the review period, and continued to be so in 2007. The expansion of companies to increase their market shares as well as the need for financial support for further growth were the two primary reasons behind sales and acquisitions. Over the review period, major acquisitions included the acquisition of Gillette by Procter & Gamble and Calvin Klein Cosmetics by Coty, which resulted in further strengthening of market position for both powerhouses. Furthermore, in 2007, Lise Watier Cosmetiques secured the necessary capital for future growth through the company’s sale to the investment firm Imperial Capital.

Drugstores and specialists benefit from changing attitude of Canadians to shopping

Industry analysts point to the increasing “democratisation” of retail in response to the “democratisation” of the Canadian consumer. As consumers are becoming more knowledgeable about their needs and the products available on the market and as their purchasing power increases, boosted by the strong economy, Canadians want more power in making purchasing decisions when they walk into a store. The success of drugstores, which remains the leading distribution channel for beauty care products in Canada, and speciality retailers lies in the fact that they fit well with these “democratisation” tendencies. Self-service options enable customers to freely browse through products and make their own purchasing decisions, with advice and help available on demand, while a wide selection of products in mass and premium segments and an attractive ambiance ensure a satisfying shopping experience.

Economic stability will ensure future positive growth for sales of beauty care

Economic stability and a strong business environment, coupled with projected strong employment, are expected to support ongoing spending on beauty care in Canada. While overall retail sales of cosmetics and toiletries will likely see a modest gain in constant value terms over the forecast period, many products will see faster growth, underpinned by consumer demand and a shift towards a more advanced/more expensive beauty care regimen that more Canadians are increasingly able to afford. At the same time, old staples are likely to continue their decline, which is reflected in the overall modest value gains for beauty care sales over 2007-2012.
