Executive summary

Cosmetics and toiletries market sees current value growth of over 9% in 2007

The Saudi cosmetic and toiletries is the largest and one of the most dynamic in the region. In 2007, total current value sales grew by over 9%, outpacing the growth rate seen the previous year, and also the review period CAGR. This oil-rich country enjoys one of the strongest industries in the world, with its economy continuing to benefit from high global oil prices. The high and increasing per capita income for most Saudis, accompanied by favourable socio-demographic factors, continued to benefit the market as a whole.

Prices increases and aggressive new product developments boost sales

The most two influential factors that largely contributed to strong growth in current value terms of 2007 were price increases, which affected many imported goods across many product groups, especially colour cosmetics, fragrances and skin care, and aggressive new product developments, which remained very dynamic, especially in hair care, skin care, fragrances, oral care and men’s grooming. The latter maintained its position as the most dynamic group in 2007, largely benefiting from several previous launches as well as new offerings such as Gillette Mach3 Power Nitro and Clear anti-dandruff shampoo.

Multinationals dominate but local players and private label products grow

The Saudi cosmetics and toiletries market is characterised by domination by large international companies. Procter & Gamble and Unilever, which both have joint-ventures with local producers, appeared more dominant thanks to the large shares many locally manufactured brands enjoy in products groups with large sales such as bath and shower products, hair care and oral care. Local players with locally-owned brands such as Arabian Oud and Abdul Samed Al Qurashi were also able to feature in the top 10 in 2007, and gained share thanks to their prominent positions in fragrances, namely oriental fragrances/oils, the largest product group in the cosmetics and toiletries market in 2007. The share held by private label products remained marginal in 2007, but continued to advance due to the increasing number of retailers investing in private label products, such as Gazzaz, Mekyajee and Carrefour.

Improved distribution stimulates sales, perfumeries most important channel

In 2007, perfumeries maintained its position as the leading distribution channel for cosmetic and toiletries in Saudi Arabia, followed by supermarkets/hypermarkets. Both channels played a significant role in boosting sales of many product groups, particularly fragrances, colour cosmetics, skin care, hair care, sun care and men’s grooming. Both channels appeared very dynamic in terms of growth in the number of outlets and selling area, thanks to rapid expansion by leading retailers within both. The strong development demonstrated in these and other emerging store-based channels, such as department stores and discounters, continued to prevent the development of non-store sales, which remained marginal in 2007.

Strong momentum to be maintained over forecast period

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries are expected to maintain the same strong momentum in coming years as demonstrated over the review period. Performance will be driven by the same growth factors impinged upon the marketplace in 2007, particularly the continued oil-led boom in the Saudi economy and rising per capita income, ongoing advancements in product development, and increasing sophistication in retail and distribution networks.
