Cotton wool/buds/pads in Costa Rica is a highly mature category that is characterised by stable but modest levels of demand. This has long restricted its potential for expansion. In recent years, manufacturers and distributors in the category have attempted to overcome these limitations by expanding their offer of products designed for specific tasks such as the application and removal of make-up. However, most consumers consider these products non-essential and perceive cotton wool/buds/pads as generic, and therefore primarily base purchasing decisions on price and availability rather than functionality or loyalty towards a particular brand.
In spite of the overall market fragmentation seen within cotton wool/buds/pads, Johnson & Johnson Costa Rica SA maintained its position as the leading player thanks to the enduring popularity and widespread availability of its cotton buds brand Cotonetes. The remaining brands that offer cotton wool/buds/pads in Costa Rica lack the brand identity Cotonetes enjoys and are viewed as generic. As a result, these other brands compete primarily on price and distribution. This is particularly the case with cotton wool brands. In recent years, however, a number of international cotton pads brands (such as Zuum) have attempted to carve out stronger brand identities, while also improving revenues, by pushing specialist products that claim to be optimally designed for specific functions related to beauty care and make-up application or removal.
The trend towards greater segmentation in cotton wool/buds/pads looks set to continue over the forecast period, with more companies expected to introduce value-added and task-specific products. It is also expected that some local players will move beyond their traditional offer of cotton wool products and attempt to improve their competitive positions by launching complementary cotton buds and pads ranges.
