Cosmetics and Toiletries Market in China

The cosmetics and toiletries market in China has been expanding rapidly since last five to six years. The market is undergoing transformation and development phase and is far from the saturation level. China’s cosmetics and toiletries market is considered as the second largest in Asia-Pacific after that of Japan and the seventh largest in the world. Thus, it remains a highly attractive market for companies across the world.

At present, China’s cosmetics and toiletries market is dominated by international companies like P&G, L’Oreal and Christian Dior. These companies are responsible for generating majority of the industry revenues and are preferred by consumers over the local companies. The conventional cosmetics segments like skin care and hair care remain the hot favorite for the industry, accounting for 38% and 20% overall cosmetics & toiletries market respectively in 2008.

As per our research “Cosmetics and Toiletries Market in China”, China offers tremendous opportunity to both the international brands as well as homegrown companies due to large consumer base and low per capita consumption of cosmetics and toiletries products in the country. Besides these two fundamental factors responsible for industry growth, rising purchasing power, increasing influence of western culture and evolving consumerism culture is giving the desired platform to the industry for expansion.

With such strong fundamentals, we anticipate that the Chinese cosmetic & toiletries market revenue will surpass US$ 25 Billion by 2012. The future growth will be driven by changing market dynamics and emergence of domestic companies in cosmetics & toiletries market landscape. Our research has also revealed that the market will see tremendous growth in coming years and will remain far from attaining saturation level.

Although China cosmetic market has become highly competitive, there is still plenty of potential for new entrants, provided they adopt appropriate market entry strategies, find right manufacturing or distribution partners, use effective marketing strategies, and make suitable products for various customer groups at reasonable price points.

Middle East Retail Sector Forecast to 2013

Middle East has emerged as a key market for retailers across the world. The region is witnessing rapid transformation in retail industry, driven by changing market dynamics and rapid economic transformation. Over a period of time, the retail culture across the Middle East has evolved from traditional outlets to large shopping malls, hypermarkets, supermarkets and organized chains. The changing consumer demographics in countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE, presence of large expatriate population, rising purchasing power and abundance of petro dollar has attracted various premium and luxury brands to the region.

In 2003, the Middle East retail industry was valued at around US$ 200 Billion and by the end of 2008, this value swelled more than US$ 400 Billion. We anticipate that there will be a marginal effect of the 2008 financial crisis on the retail market in the Middle East, and it will see a growth of around 14% during 2009-2013. Strong economic fundamentals and well protected banking system will shield the region from the aftermath of the financial crisis. Although the declining oil prices may be a cause for concern for most of the oil exporting countries, it will be short-lived as improving economic conditions and increasing fuel consumption will drive the oil prices upwards.

Our report “Middle East Retail Sector Forecast to 2013” identifies Saudi Arabia and UAE as the most potential and dynamic retail market across the region. These two markets have continued dominating the retail industry landscape for more than a decade and will continue to do the same in the coming years.

The report is an outcome of an extensive research and rational analysis on the retail sector of the Middle East. Middle Eastern countries examined in this report include the GCC nations such as United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman besides Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and Iran.

Indian Cosmetic Sector Analysis (2009-2012)

The Indian cosmetic Industry has witnessed rapid growth in the last couple of years, growing at a CAGR of around 7.5% between 2006 and 2008. With improving purchasing power and increasing fashion consciousness, the industry is expected to maintain the growth momentum (with marginal slowdown due to economic slowdown) during our forecast period (2009-2012). It is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period, says "Indian Cosmetic Sector Analysis (2009-2012)", a recent research report by RNCOS,

Both electronic as well as print media are playing an important role in spreading awareness about cosmetic products and developing fashion consciousness among the Indian consumers. With the introduction of satellite television and a number of television channels as well as the Internet, the Indian consumers are constantly being updated about new cosmetic products, translating into the desire to purchase them. Additionally, the flourishing Indian fashion/film industry is fueling growth in the industry by making Indians to realize the importance of having good looks and appearances.

Despite the massive surge in the popularity of cosmetic products, our report finds that the average consumer spending on cosmetic products in India is much lesser than any other part of the world. This implies that the Indian cosmetic industry has an even greater potential for growth in future than present.

At present, most of cosmetics manufacturers in India cater to the domestic market but they are gradually establishing their footholds in overseas markets. In recent years, the Indian cosmetic manufactures have received orders from overseas markets; for example - Indian herbal cosmetic products have a tremendous demand in the international market.

However, manufactures should not forget that the Indian domestic market is price sensitive and they need to work out innovative strategies to establish a foothold here, the report added.
