Executive Summary

Jun 2019
Skin care boosts sales in beauty and personal care

Skin care drove growth in beauty and personal care during 2018, as it took over the role of the “trendy” category from colour cosmetics. Colour cosmetics showed more modest growth in this year, as natural beauty was more popular, due to influences from South Korea and Japan (K-beauty and J-beauty).

The extreme weather conditions drive sales in sun care

Sun care also saw strong current value and volume growth in 2018, due to the extremely hot and sunny spring and summer, which boosted sales of sun protection, as Swedes spent more time outside. Consumers were also more cautious about sun exposure as they increasingly understood the correlation between skin cancer and sun exposure, and were increasingly likely to apply sunscreen during the many weeks of more than 30°C heat.

Premium brands drive growth in beauty and personal care

Swedes’ rising disposable incomes and growing interest in beauty and personal care helped drive sales of premium brands in 2018. International mass brands dominate, as they generally have widespread distribution and are available at affordable prices.

Acids, eco brands and natural brands are major topics

Sales of skin care products and new product developments exploded in 2018, as products from South Korea and Japan continued to enter the Swedish market. Sheet masks, essences, facial cleansing products and serums were amongst the products which showed very strong performances during the year.

Premiumisation and skin care will drive growth in the forecast period

The demand for premium products and skin care products is expected to remain high throughout the forecast period. However, sun care is expected to exhibit more modest growth, as the same extreme temperatures as seen in 2018 are not anticipated.
