Mass Beauty and Personal Care in Bolivia

PROSPECTS

Consumption of beauty and personal care products increases with expansion of Bolivia’s middle class

Global brands have consolidated their presence in Bolivia with their supply of mass consumer products, especially in beauty and personal care. With the expansion of the middle class in the country, it has been possible for these companies to introduce a wide range of products.

Sophistication of mass consumer products drives emerging categories

Companies offering mass consumption products have expanded their number of references and introduced more sophisticated products, which are enjoying good acceptance. Consumers in the country, especially in the middle class, have been modifying their habits as some emerging categories have become more sophisticated.

Familiar products are rising by the hand of domestic players

At the same time, whilst major companies have expanded their portfolios with innovative products, other, domestic companies have focussed their efforts on launching new brands targeting low socioeconomic segments for which familiar use is the most common factor; this is the case of hair care and skin care products. In this segment the most important factors are price and quantity of products and the ability to use them for both adults and children.
