Executive summary

Lower growth in 2007

Sales of cosmetics and toiletries grew at a slower rate in 2007 than in 2006. That said, current value growth in 2007 was similar to the average growth rate for the 2002-2007 time period. Cosmetics and toiletries sales growth was slowed by the housing downturn, and rising energy and food prices. Worries about the US economy led to reduced consumer confidence and lower spending. The US economy saw GDP growth of 2.7% in 2007, lower than the 3.2% growth achieved in 2006.

Natural and organics grow in popularity

Americans are expressing growing concerns over the impact of various goods on the environment and on their own health and well-being. They are increasingly turning to all things natural in search for healthier alternatives to standard industrial goods, and products that have claims of being “natural”, “organic” and/or eco-friendly are growing in popularity across various areas of the US consumer market. Consequently, speciality and niche beauty manufacturers, such as Lush and Pangea Organics, have been expanding, while mainstream manufacturers continue to introduce a large variety of products formulated with organic ingredients, botanicals and food ingredients, such as Estée Lauder Cos Inc’s Origins subsidiary introducing the Origins Organics line, and L’Oréal USA Inc launching Garnier Nutritioniste, with lycopene and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Household care company Clorox’s November 2007 decision to purchase Burt’s Bees, a natural personal care company, for US$925 million, demonstrates confidence in the future growth of the “natural” and “organic” personal care market.

Companies look to acquisitions to build sales

The US cosmetics and toiletries market continues to see a trend towards greater consolidation, as market entry via acquisitions and mergers is one of the strategies to gain competitive advantage in a highly developed US market. L’Oréal Groupe further strengthened its salon hair care business by acquiring professional hair care company Pureology, in May 2007, and expanded its presence in prestige colour cosmetics, fragrances and skin care through its January 2008 acquisition of YSL Beauté Holding. Procter & Gamble entered the dermatological skin care field through its January 2007 purchase of skin care company HDS Cosmetics Lab, and its DDF (Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula) brand. In March 2008, the company acquired salon hair care company Frederic Fekkai. Coty Inc chose to expand beyond its core fragrance business through its acquisition of Del Laboratories (Sally Hansen colour cosmetics and depilatories, NYC New York Color colour cosmetics) which was completed on 31 December 2007, though not announced until January 2008.

Drugstores and perfumeries rise in importance

Industry analysts point to the increasing “democratisation” of retail, in response to the “democratisation” of the American consumer. Time magazine named “You” its Person of the Year in December 2006, and bloggers are wielding increased power, as consumers move away from traditional media to social media, such as YouTube and myspace.com. With the Internet allowing consumers to become more knowledgeable about product attributes, as well as prices, Americans want more power in making purchasing decisions when they walk into a store. The success of drugstores, which is the second leading distribution channel for cosmetics and toiletries behind supermarkets/hypermarkets in the US, and perfumeries lies in the fact that they fit well with these “democratisation” tendencies. Sephora and Ulta, which offer self-service options with beauty advisors available on demand, have shown strong growth.

Value declines ahead

The cosmetics and toiletries sector is expected to decline between 2007 and 2012 in constant value terms. This will be due to the maturity of the US cosmetics and toiletries market, where many products enjoy a high rate of household penetration, as well as to price pressure from mass merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart. Sun care, baby care and men’s grooming products are expected to show the fastest value growth over this time period. A desire to look younger will prompt skin care to be the fastest growing subsector within men’s grooming.
