Executive summary

Economic downturn has negative effect

The global economic recession had an increasingly negative effect on the Finnish economy as 2008 proceeded, resulting in a slowdown in the retail value growth of cosmetics and toiletries, particularly of premium cosmetics. Consumers traded down to more affordable products and were a lot more selective with regard to their purchasing decisions, tending to avoid products that are not completely necessary to their everyday lives. However, products that are deemed as necessity products continued to perform relatively well despite the downturn in the Finnish economy.

Nature and the environment, a strong trend in cosmetics and toiletries in 2008

Nature and the environment were major factors affecting the development and marketing of products in cosmetics and toiletries in Finland in 2008. These factors had an effect on every category of cosmetics and toiletries and they were strongly promoted by manufacturers and retailers. They were also clearly visible in women’s magazines and other forms of media.

Natural ingredients, such as aloe vera and plantain are popular in cosmetics and toiletries in Finland. Products containing these ingredients are promoted as being healthier alternatives to “ordinary” products. Also in colour cosmetics, mineral make-up formed part of the nature trend. Many companies launched new mineral products and the mineral theme was continuously promoted. Many companies adopted a strategy of “soft” selling using slogans such as “manufactured in an environmentally friendly way” and “not tested on animals” in 2008.

Big brands continue to dominate

Key brands in cosmetics and toiletries in Finland are well established and well known brands such as Nivea Visage and Lumene. In addition, there are many small brands with low retail value shares, especially in fragrances. Manufacturers update their product portfolios constantly so the variety and number of products is large and changes rapidly.

Another factor that added to the competitive pressure in cosmetics and toiletries in 2008 was the increasing presence of private label products. These products are sold primarily through grocery retailers and new product launches were frequent in 2008.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets still the leading channel of distribution in 2008

Although supermarkets/hypermarkets continued to lead in terms of distribution of cosmetics and toiletries in 2008, other more specialised channels of distribution continued to develop, for example direct selling through companies such as Yves Rocher Finlande Oy and Oriflame Finland Oy. Internet retailing in cosmetics and toiletries has also increased in strength as a result of increased trust among consumers in making online purchases, particularly with regard to payment methods and product safety as well as delivery times. Finnish consumers are experienced Internet users and the vast majority of consumers have access to the internet, increasingly through broadband, in their homes.

Demand for “mid-priced” and “economy” products expected to prevail

Over the first half of the forecast period, the Finnish economy is expected to continue to face difficulties and this is expected to have a potentially negative effect on cosmetics and toiletries, particularly on demand for “premium” products. Consumers are expected to restrain their spending on “luxury” products, which, in turn, will affect demand for premium fragrances and premium cosmetics among other “premium” categories. However, products with a good price/quality ratio are expected to remain popular, therefore many “mid-priced” brands, such as Nivea Visage and Lumene, are expected to perform fairly well despite the continued economic downturn, as are various “economy” products and private label products.
