Executive summary

Supermarkets steams ahead

Supermarkets, once the sole domain of the weekly shop are turning into temples of multitasking, with attached beauty bar, photo processing and other services once the function of drugstores and pharmacies in the retailing of cosmetics and toiletries. As well as stocking main range cosmetics and toiletries, supermarkets are increasingly bringing out their own mid-end ranges which are jostling with branded labels for the ever decreasing slice of the cosmetics and toiletries market.

Strong industry growth

Cosmetics and toiletries experienced strong growth over the review period. However, due to the effects of the credit crunch and the consequent pressures affecting consumers worldwide, the industry slowed considerably in 2007 and 2008. Added to this is the fact that many segments in cosmetics and toiletries are approaching saturation point; in order to mitigate this cosmetics companies are concentrating on targeting previously untapped consumer groups such as men and tweens.

Convenience remains significant

Time-pressed consumers are continuing to prioritise convenience over other considerations. Busy, peripatetic lifestyles necessitate ease of application and the products which best cater to this are finding favour with consumers. Although products that offer a variety of functions in one package have higher price points, this does not seem to be putting off consumers.

Men’s grooming products in sharp focus

As the market for women’s cosmetics continues to reach saturation point, manufacturers are upping the focus on men’s grooming. There are two trends evident here, first as with women’s cosmetics there is a focus on the natural look. In line with this tinted moisturisers for men are proving very popular, as is under eye concealers with YSL releasing a men’s version of its iconic touch éclat. On the other hand there is a focus on more theatrical products such as “manscara” and eyeliners appealing to the more outré consumer demographic – but as with all trends it is only a matter of time before it infiltrates the mainstream.

Looking to the future

Due to the impact of the tightening in consumer credit and the slowdown in the economy, there will be a slowdown in the cosmetics and toiletries industry over the forecast period. Overall, the industry is expected to be driven by those sectors that have not reached fruition, ie men’s cosmetics and oral hygiene, both of which have received increased attention over the past few years.
