Executive summary

Healthy growth continues for cosmetics and toiletries

In 2007, current value sales for cosmetics and toiletries saw steady growth. Health and wellbeing is in focus for most Norwegian consumers, who are increasingly able to afford to pamper themselves. In recent decades, the Norwegian economy was one of the best performers in the industrialised world. Household consumption grew steadily in the first half of 2006 but is expected to rise steadily in 2007 and 2008 according to government forecasts.

Cosmetics and toiletries products need to be eco-friendly

Concern about eco-friendly cosmetics and toiletries in the general population is likely to grow during the forecast period. With more concern over the environment, Norwegian consumers will be selective and focus on purchasing products that are environmentally-friendly. Interest groups increasingly have the power to impact on the success or failure of various brands, even the brands of major players. Leading brands must therefore ensure all ingredients for their products are environmentally-friendly and engage in responsible marketing, either directly informing consumers that products are environmentally-friendly or through philanthropic work related to the environment.

The Swan label is also an important means for cosmetics and toiletries to communicate environmentally-friendly characteristics for products. This label enables new players to easily position their brands as eco-friendly, especially in the mass-market. Niche brands are expected to increasingly use this eco-label to differentiate their brands from the competition.

Multinational players dominate cosmetics and toiletries in Norway

Of the many companies supplying cosmetics and toiletries to Norwegian consumers, multinationals lead. The leading players are L’Oréal Norge AS, Lilleborg AS, Procter & Gamble Norge AS, Midelfart Sonesson AS, Engelschiøn Marwell Hauge AS (EMH) and Beiersdorf AS. Lilleborg is the only domestic player among the leading companies. Midelfart Sonesson AS and Engelschiøn Marwell Hauge AS are primarily distributors of international brands, while the remaining companies are local subsidiaries of multinationals.

Retailers upgrade shopping experience

2007 saw the introduction of new retail concepts to make shopping more comfortable, fun and convenient. Some chains incorporated new services to transform a visit to a perfumery or drugstore into an exciting shopping experience. Other health and beauty retailers are adopting multi-channel distribution strategies. Two perfumery chains, Gimle Parfymeriet and Esthetique, launched websites to promote their products. Tahitian Noni meanwhile combines a retail outlet in central Oslo with catalogue sales and direct sales offering multiple means of purchasing. Other retail chains including Esthetique, Fredrik & Lovisa and Apotek1 are expanding their outlets and upgrading their product assortment.

Healthy growth expected during forecast period

Constant value sales for cosmetics and toiletries are expected to see a similar growth during the forecast period to that seen during the review period. Some product categories, including oral hygiene are already mature and not expected to see significant changes in consumption during the forecast period. The fastest growth is expected for Sun Care products. This will be due to more sales of premium and specialist products sold through pharmacies and specialists. Continued increases in Norwegians travelling abroad will also help sales of sun care.

Sales of skin care and men's grooming products will also be dynamic. The former will benefit from more higher value cosmeceutical brands and the latter from increased male vanity.
