Executive summary

Value sales of cosmetics and toiletries display slow growth

2008 value sales of cosmetics and toiletries in Germany grew at a slightly slower, yet still respectable rate compared to its performance over the two previous years. Notably men’s skin care and electric toothbrushes proved dynamic sales drivers, while sales of mouth fresheners, tooth whiteners and self-tanning continued to decline, becoming increasingly regarded as yesterday’s fads by most German consumers.

Demand for men’s grooming products continues to grow

Throughout the review period, demand for men’s grooming products continued to outpace overall demand for cosmetics and toiletries. Saturated product areas such as men’s shaving continued to display rather sluggish growth despite various product innovations. However, other product areas, notably men’s skin care and hair care, displayed impressive growth rates and attracted continued attention due to a range of new product developments.

Sales led by L’Oréal and Beiersdorf

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries continue to be led by two major multinationals, L'Oréal Deutschland and Beiersdorf AG, holding almost identical value shares through L’Oréal’s Jade and L'Oréal Paris and Beiersdorf’s Nivea and Nivea for Men brands. Other important players include Hans Schwarzkopf & Henkel, Procter & Gamble and Unilever Deutschland. While all of these companies benefit from their considerable multinational operative base, Nivea in particular benefits from the positive image as a traditional domestic company among many German consumers.

Fierce competition among retailers driving out smaller competitors

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries continue to be dominated by a number of leading chains in parapharmacies/drugstores, beauty specialist retailers and supermarkets/hypermarkets. Sales through other channels, notably through independent small grocers, generally continued to lose share over the review period. This further increased the share of chains such as Edeka and Rewe, as well as Schlecker, dm, Rossmann and Douglas, present in supermarkets, parapharmacies/drugstores and beauty specialist retailers respectively.

Economic problems to hinder growth in forecast period

Given an increasingly difficult economic climate and quickly deteriorating German consumer confidence, sales of cosmetics and toiletries are expected to stagnate over the forecast period, although no actual overall decline in constant value sales is expected. There will be an increasing importance for private label products and decreasing consumer spending, coupled with overall stagnation for cosmetics and toiletries. This will lead to stagnating or even declining unit prices in constant terms over the forecast period. The leading manufacturers will therefore struggle to retain their existing shares due to increasingly ferocious competition.
