Executive summary

Slower growth for cosmetics and toiletries

Growth slowed slightly for overall cosmetics and toiletries in 2008 compared to 2007. This was mainly due to a poor economy, with buyers becoming more price-conscious and increasingly shopping only as required. Notably, some products managed to achieve a more robust performance in 2008 against 2007. Riding on consumers’ increasing awareness of the importance of sun protection, sun care enjoyed a stronger current value growth in 2008 over 2007. Similarly, hair care experienced a healthier current value growth in 2008 against 2007. As the economic recession sets in, more consumers cut down on the frequency to hair salons and begin to purchase hair care products of a higher quality for use at home.

Change of government may mean changes

2008 was an election year for New Zealand. After several terms in government, 2008 saw a change of government from Labour to a National government-led party. With this changeover, it is likely that some reforms and regulations will impact cosmetics and toiletries in New Zealand. The Cosmetics, Toiletries and Fragrances Association entered discussions with the new government over some key issues in 2008. These included sun protection regulatory standards and toothpaste labelling, in particular with regard to fluoride content. The issues discussed also included proposed anti-dandruff products de-regulation and a draft guideline for green/organic and eco-friendly cosmetics and toiletries with regards to suggested labelling and advertising.

International players still dominate

International players continued to dominate cosmetics and toiletries in New Zealand at the end of the review period. Procter & Gamble New Zealand remains the top player in cosmetics and toiletries overall. In June 2008, Shiseido was the last of the premium cosmetics companies manufacturing in New Zealand to exit. All international premium cosmetics are now made overseas and imported. This will impact pricing in New Zealand, as all products will be imported, often at an unfavourable exchange rate against the New Zealand dollar, in particular those imported from the US or Europe. Interestingly, some domestic and regional companies dominated some niche areas. Continuing its core focus on the niche men’s hair care, local manufacturer Mix Ltd maintains its leading position in men’s hair care in 2008, surpassing its international competitors.

Distribution channels offering lower prices attract consumers

Supermarkets/hypermarkets remained the main distribution channel for most product areas within cosmetics and toiletries in New Zealand at the end of the review period. Due to the economic slowdown, consumers began shopping at channels which provided more competitive prices such as mass merchandisers and internet retailing. As such, both channels saw a rise in its current value share of cosmetics and toiletries in 2008. Fortunately, despite its higher price points, department stores managed to maintain its current value share as per 2007. This is predominantly contributed by the steady sales performance of leading department store, Farmers.

Recovery of the economy will boost performance over the forecast period

Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the economy will recover gradually. As the economy enters the stage of recovery, consumer sentiments are likely to be more positive, inducing a stronger willingness to spend. As the masstige trend continues to manifest, products such as colour cosmetics are expected to see a healthier growth over the forecast period. Consumers using mass colour cosmetics can be expected to trade up to the stream of more expensive masstige brands delivering a higher quality.
