Executive summary

Industry performs well in 2007, boosted by positive economic scenario

The improvement in consumer confidence and rise in disposable income among Colombian consumers is one of the main reasons why the cosmetics and toiletries industry maintained a strong performance in 2007. Lower unemployment rates and higher incomes allowed consumers to spend more on themselves, especially on their appearance. Colombian consumers have become less price sensitive than in the past, allowing companies to offer products with higher added value, improving sales of premium brands. Consumers have also become more indulgent, spending more on products that offer them comfort, prevent ageing and enable them to maintain their physical appearance.

Companies show greater interest in targeting male consumers

Companies in the cosmetics and toiletries industry are now turning their attention towards a large potential consumer group that has been overlooked in the past: male consumers. These consumers have become more indulgent and now spend more on their personal appearance, trying to keep up with recent trends. Professionals in the business world feel pressure to have an impeccable and clean personal appearance in their workplace. This represents a cultural shift; male consumers in Colombia showed little interest in cosmetics and toiletries products in the past and few companies targeted males with advertisements and products designed specifically for them. Now untraditional products such as anti-ageing, facial creams and moisturising cream for men can be seen in health and beauty retailing stores where they were not available just a few years before.

Top direct sellers continue to lead the industry

Direct sales boosted over the review period with Belstar as the leading company, which was able to surpass Unilever in 2005 as the industry’s leading company. The second-leading direct sales company is Avon while Yanbal is yet another important player in the industry. These three companies are characterised by their dynamism in the cosmetics and toiletries industry. They all have a large number of direct sales representatives who allow them to cover almost all the nation’s territory keeping them in touch with consumers’ needs. Subsequently, these companies are able to offer products that fulfil consumers’ expectations and can establish ongoing relationships with their customers.

Store retailing channels maintain lead over growing direct sellers

Over the 2002-2007 review period, the trend continued to be towards the sale of products through the supermarkets/hypermarkets and direct sales channels. Nonetheless, specialised stores such as health and beauty retailers play a very important part in the distribution of cosmetics and toiletries, also offering beauty treatments and other related services. Direct sales have gained more importance as a channel given that some of the most important companies in the industry are direct sales specialists. Supermarkets/ hypermarkets also play an important role, as there is a strong cultural custom among Colombian consumers to purchase basic cosmetics and toiletries along with the family groceries.

Forecast looks bright for cosmetics and toiletries in Colombia

The industry is expected to keep growing at healthy rates over the 2007-2012 forecast period, as the industry keeps evolving with strong local and international players competing in the expanding market. There are also several foreign companies that are poised to enter into the Colombian market, including the Brazilian direct selling firm Natura. These newcomers are expected to increase competition in the market; however, most players are trying to find different niches to target, to offer their custom and value-added products, which offer higher profit margins. The most important range in value terms in the industry will continue to be hair care and most other ranges are expected to perform well by showing healthy growth rates in 2007-2012.
