Competitive Landscape
Leading Manufacturers Experience Share Erosion Amid Rising Competition
Skin care in Ethiopia is moderately concentrated, with the top manufacturers holding significant but gradually declining shares. Between 2020 and 2025, leading companies such as Amka Products, Siparco CI, Beiersdorf East Africa Ltd and Unilever East & Southern Africa showed a downward trend in retail value share, with Unilever dropping from 15% in 2020 to 10% in 2025, and Amka Products reducing from 15% to 11% over the same period.
Mass-Market Brands Maintain Popularity through Affordability and Wide Distribution
Clere and Queen Elizabeth remain the top two mass-market skin care brands in Ethiopia in 2025, with stable brand shares supported by strategies focused on affordability, large pack sizes and extensive availability across cosmetics shops and open markets. These factors cater to price-sensitive consumers amid ongoing cost-of-living pressures, enabling these brands to retain loyal customer bases despite competitive pressures and economic challenges.
