in-cosmetics Brasil has been granted access to research undertaken by Mintel (a world leading research company) into the cosmetics market in several Latin American countries. The study maps out each sector of the industry and shows growth over recent years and future projections and perspectives.

We analyzed the research and over the coming weeks will share this information via several articles on our website.

PART 2: BRAZIL – THE BODY CARE MARKET

Brazil is currently number three in the toiletries, fragrance and cosmetics (HPPC) sector, after the US and Japan. The Brazilian market is 11% of the world market, with only 3% of the population.

The main driver in this area over the last few years has been the growth of Brazil’s middle class. This segment, after purchasing the basic day-to-day items, is consuming more HPPC products. The rising average age of the population and women’s greater penetration into the labor force are also contributing greatly to this increase.

Brazil’s body care products segment retail sales grew from 2006’s 918.0 million reals to 2012’s 2,128.0 billion, with projections for 2017 of 3,865.9 billion. Brazil’s body care products segment saw a 25.2% rise in market value in local currency in 2007; 17.6% in 2012 and predictions for 2017 show a growth of 12.7%.

Brazil’s spending per capita in the body care products market grew from 1.798 euros in 2007 to 4.2722 euros in 2012, with a rise to 5.6336 euros forecast for 2017. The body care products retail market as proportion of Brazil’s gross domestic product (GDP) was around 0.03867% in 2006 and 0.048565% in 2012, with 2017 set to hover around 0.059083%.
