Competitive Landscape
Procter & Gamble and Unilever Strengthen Dominance through Portfolio Breadth and Marketing
Hair care in Ecuador remains moderately concentrated in 2025, with the leading two companies, Procter & Gamble Ecuador Cia Ltda and Unilever Andina Ecuador SA, together holding significant market shares of 15% each. Over the five years from 2020 to 2025, both companies experienced a gradual decline in market share; however, they maintain their leadership positions due to extensive and diverse brand portfolios, including standard shampoos, conditioners and treatment-oriented products.
Quala Leverages Marketing and Distribution to Expand Presence in Shampoos and Treatments
Among emerging players, Quala del Ecuador SA stands out in 2025, driven by the expansion of its Nutribela brand. Originally focused on treatment products, Quala strategically entered the standard shampoo segment at the end of 2024, marking 2025 as its first full year competing in this broader mass hair care space.
