Executive summary

Industrialisation and economic performance impact growth

Economic growth in Malaysia slowed at the end of the review period, and consumer spending power was adversely impacted by petrol and electricity price increases in 2006. Despite this, Malaysia’s Consumer Confidence Index rose 3 points to 114 in the second half of the year, according to ACNielsen. This, with Malaysia’s continued industrialisation and the rising number of women in the formal workplace, resulted in rising income levels, and an increase in the affordability of higher value cosmetics and toiletries.

More modern products attract consumers

2006 saw increasing consumer interest in more modern cosmetics and toiletries with advanced formulations designed to treat particular problems, or meet the requirements of specific consumer groups. Products such as anti-cellulite skin care products appealed to a growing number of working women, for example, as did long-lasting lipsticks and other colour cosmetics. Products with added value formulations, luxury or indulgence positioning also proved popular, appealing to consumers enjoying rising income levels.

Men an increasingly important consumer segment

Men are not traditionally know for their use of cosmetics and toiletries in Malaysia. However, with increasing sophistication and greater exposure to western trends, Malaysian males demonstrated rising interest in products specifically developed for their use in 2006. Men’s skin care products and hair care products saw strong growth as men become increasingly aware of the benefits offered by such products. With rising disposable incomes, an increasing number of women are also buying men’s grooming products for their husbands and boyfriends, further contributing to the growth of this environment.

Government efforts to improve oral hygiene

Government efforts to improve oral health in Malaysia have proved effective in recent year, with the percentage of the population suffering caries falling in all age segments. The government strategy, coupled with rising income levels and increasing education among consumers, boosted sales of more advanced oral hygiene products in 2006. While staples such as toothpaste and toothbrushes continued to dominate sales, there was increasing interest in products previously considered non-essential, particularly mouthwashes/dental rinses and dental floss. This was most evident in urban areas, and considerable potential for further growth remains.

Modern products to continue developing

Products with a natural positioning and aromatherapy benefits are likely to prove increasingly popular in coming years, underpinned by rising consumer awareness as a result of manufacturers’ advertising and promotional efforts, coupled with rising income levels in urban areas. Consumers will increasingly seek products offering health or care benefits, while working women will seek products offering a sense of indulgence. Products such as skin care products fortified with aloe vera, long-lasting lipsticks or luxury shower products are all expected to see increased demand as Malaysian consumers seek to indulge themselves on a more regular basis. There is even potential for growth among less affluent consumers as they trade up from traditional products such as talcum powder, to more modern solutions such as stick deodorants.
