Executive summary

Slow down in volume growth

2007 saw significant slow down of volume growth in most sectors whilst constant value growth figures also illustrated stagnating cosmetics and toiletries sales. Skin care continued to see the most dynamic development in cosmetics and toiletries, while sun care had to face the triumph of private label products and in line with it decreasing value sales. Anti-ageing and multi-benefit products enjoyed the strongest performances in all areas. Cosmetics and toiletries is characterised by several mature sectors where the per capita consumption is highly above the Eastern-European average, such as bath and shower products and oral hygiene.

Decreasing purchasing power of households

Due to the severe restriction policy of the Hungarian government, the net real income of households has been decreasing in 2007. The GDP growth in the third quarter of 2007 was only 1.1% compared to the same period of year 2006. While the nominal average salary has not increased, households have had to face dynamically growing energy, natural gas and food prices. According to the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, the yearly average inflation will exceed 7% in 2007 compared to 3.4% in 2006. The decrease of purchasing power explains the significant slow-down of volume growth.

Well-established multinational brands dominate

Unilever, Avon, L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble and Beiersdorf account for more than a half of total cosmetics and toiletries value sales in Hungary, while the share of domestic manufacturers is infinitesimal. The decrease of purchasing power contributed to the further bipolarisation of cosmetics and toiletries, as both upper-mass and lower-mass products could increase their share of sales. This resulted in even more intensive price competition where manufacturers could increase unit prices only in the case of new product launches.

Drugstores’ private label products are the main challengers

Private label has seen growing value share in product segments where consumers’ involvement is lower - for example, in manual toothbrushes or talcum powder. In line with the massive expansion of drugstore chains in the provinces in 2007, these chains’ private label products have become available for a growing number of potential consumers. Dm Drogerie Markt and Rossmann are the main challengers of manufacturers’ brands, as they offer good quality products at more reasonable prices. This expansion resulted in a more competitive operating environment in the provinces, and threatened the positions of direct sellers which had previously been the main suppliers of upper-mass, good quality products in these areas.

Future growth – full of questions

To forecast the future development of cosmetics and toiletries at the end of 2007 is much more difficult than it might have been in previous years. There are several scenarios depending on the future growth of GDP, change of energy and food prices, etc. Well-established and trusted brands regularly launching new, good quality products and lower-mass products could utilize this new situation and this trend is not likely to change in the future. Fiercer price competition, increasing importance of bargain sales, and growing purchasing of multi-packs is expected in the forecast period. Consumers are likely to rationalise their expenditure by spending more money on well-known, trusted brands and less on new coming, unknown brands and products.
