Executive summary

Private label increases its distribution presence

Changes in shopping habits and consumer loyalty strategies have encouraged the growth of private label in chemists/drugstores, convenience stores, and discounters. All large retail chains have invested heavily in expanding their ranges to include private label cosmetics and toiletries, and personal hygiene products. Private label still suffers competition from the informal marketplace, which offers products that are perceived to be similar to private label in terms of quality. This trend has encouraged manufacturers to invest in packaging and quality to resist the competition from cheaper alternatives.

Low inflation and good economic prospects keep unit prices stable

Strong competition and a stable economy have kept unit prices largely stable, encouraging consumption, particularly for products such as cotton wool/buds/pads products and paper tableware, where consumers tend to be most price conscious. Even for products with low profit margins, there is little incentive to increase unit prices in the short term, since stable prices have stimulated volume growth.

Standard toilet paper shows consumers will choose quality over price

Manufacturers and retailers of toilet paper were pleasantly surprised at the performance of high-quality, single-ply toilet paper during 2006. A surplus in production capacity and the introduction of standard products by smaller companies at lower prices narrowed the difference in price between standard and economy toilet paper. Faced with a choice between an economy product only slightly less expensive than a better quality standard alternative, consumers preferred to spend more.

Great opportunity in mixed packs for sanitary protection and nappies/diapers

In what could be considered an extension of the recently introduced low-unit packages aimed at lower-income consumers, manufacturers offered various products in kits or multi-packs. Consumers with limited spending power could therefore purchase sanitary protection products on a monthly basis, for example, with a calculated number of pantyliners, tampons, and wipes in one, conveniently priced pack. The idea was first introduced with the o b tampons multi-pack in 2003, which offered different size tampons in one pack; the concept may be expanded to nappies/diapers in the short term.

The Brazilian currency encourages imports in nappies/diapers

With the relative strength of the Brazilian currency, stable at approximately US$0.60 since mid-2005, Brazilian manufacturers have supplied the domestic market with products imported from the US, Argentina and Chile. Imports of nappies/diapers grew by an astonishing 370% in 2005-2006, as companies like Procter & Gamble do Brasil SA introduced Pampers Activos, produced in Argentina, and disposable pants manufactured in the US, to Brazil. Various manufacturers of tissues, toilet paper, sanitary protection, and nappies/diapers increased their imports of value-added products from Mercosul countries. In most cases the unit price for these products was pegged at the national level.
