In 2021, demand for beauty and personal care in Myanmar has remained steady. However, current value and volume sales have not yet recovered to the pre COVID-19 levels due to the negative impact both the pandemic and the coup is having on the economy.
Both imported and exported beauty and personal products experienced a decline in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This also led to a rise in unemployment, and a subsequent decrease in income levels, which affected the sales of beauty products negatively.
The ongoing political turmoil and complexities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to weaken Myanmar's economy. As a result, the World Bank projects that the country's economy may contract to around 18% in 2021.
Since the coup, the Myanmar kyat is experiencing more than a 50% depreciation, which has led to an increase in the retail price of imported beauty and personal care products. This has resulted in the cutting down of such products, along with a switch to alternative brands or products with lower prices.
Distribution remains difficult across much of Myanmar, following decades of underinvestment in road infrastructure. The majority of secondary routes are single-lane unpaved roads, with under half of the road network paved in 2021, causing a particular issue in rural areas.
The economic decline caused by the coup will have a significant negative impact on the demand for beauty and personal care products over the forecast period. Essentially, price sensitivity is projected to slow demand in the years to come.
