Executive summary

Growth improves slightly despite financial constraints

Value sales of cosmetics and toiletries recorded growth in 2007, although at a slightly slower rate than in previous years. The reason for the slowdown in growth was the moderation of economic growth, in the aftermath of a decline in agricultural GDP, along with the knock-on effects of the fuel price hikes of 2006, which led to higher manufacturing costs and price increases on consumer goods. This was despite a reduction in the inflation rate in 2007, to below 3%. However, the economy showed signs of recovery, thanks to dynamic growth in non-agricultural GDP, which contributed to an increasing propensity to spend among consumers.

High rate of product innovation seen

In the context of increasing market maturity, many players have opted for diversification and sophistication to fight for attention and boost value sales. Products that were originally only available in a standard format have become more specialised, with the addition of more added value functions aimed at tackling specific cosmetic issues, such as therapeutic or whitening toothpastes, skin friendly deodorants, and bar soap with firming or anti-ageing properties. One of the main trends was the use of functional ingredients, such as those used in food, especially in skin care. Manufacturers launched products with aloe vera such as Johnson & Johnson in baby skin care. Other players focused on local ingredients to attract more consumers, such as argan oil and henna, particularly in hair care and skin care.

Multinationals continue to lead the way

Multinationals continue to dominate the Moroccan cosmetics and toiletries market. In 2007, multinationals extended their efforts and invested in further product innovation to expand their consumer base. L’Oréal’s subsidiary Union pour la Fabrication le Commerce et l'Industrie (UFCI) maintained its leadership thanks to its wide presence in all subsectors. It has transformed some of its mass products into “upper mass” products, thereby making them more attractive and positioning them as luxurious yet affordable. However, in recent years, a handful of powerful local brands, together with established home-grown rivals, have emerged from the shadow of the multinationals with new marketing drives, and have moved brands upmarket to position them in the premium segment, such as Lesieur Cristal, Absim Maroc, Biotal Cosmetics and Beric SA.

Perfumeries and large retail outlets gain preference

The market has seen the entry of big retail chains, like Marionnaud, Sephora and Nocibe, which stock a wider variety of brands retailing at various sizes and prices, allowing them to target different consumer segments. These chains have open shelving and testers which allow customers to choose and try perfumes freely. Small perfumeries have also diversified their offer and sought to maintain customer loyalty through giving help and guidance to customers. Hypermarkets/supermarkets also saw their share increase, thanks to the lower prices which these larger modern outlets can achieve through their economies of scale. Retailers such as Marjane, Aswak Assalam, Acima and Label Vie are opening new stores in small cities, which will provide a good opportunity for mass producers to increase sales and brand exposure.

Cosmetic and toiletries growth still healthy during forecast period

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries are expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, due to greater interest in appearance and general health among young consumers. Sales will also be fuelled by emerging ranges that will see rapid growth rates, and by the rising share of mid-priced and premium products. Healthy growth will still be led by high value sectors, notably colour cosmetics, fragrances and skin care, where more innovation is expected during the forecast period. Women’s products are anticipated to grow faster than men’s grooming products, since it is still typical for the whole household to share the same products. Nevertheless, men’s grooming will still see healthy growth, as in some areas it is growing from a low base, such as men’s skin care. Sales will also be driven by more promotions by manufacturers.
