According to ABIHPEC, the Brazilian personal care industry has seen sales grow from $2.4m 16 years ago to $14.2m last year. Overall, the growth in the personal care sector was much more vigorous than in other areas of the economy with 10% average annual growth compared to a GDP of 3.1% and annual growth of 2.5% for the industry in genereal.
With the emergence of the middle class, increased consumer spending and needs are also driving the growth of household and personal care products in Brazil and rest of South American countries. Companies, both international and locals are increasing their R&D and expansion budget to meet an increasingly sophisticated market. Consumers are paying more attention to the ingredients that go into their products and companies are constantly on the look out for sustainable ingredients to differentiate their products. Not to forget consumers are also focusing on value!
Walmart, the major retailer who leads in sustainability initiatives has also implemented their end- to- end project in Brazil. Has this exercise created more sustainable products? What will be the impact to wal-mart's suppliers?
CMT's 2nd South America Surfactants, Home & Personal (HPC) Markets conference will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 28-29 Nov 2012. Leading experts will share insights on these emerging regions.

Frost & Sullivan forecasts that Brazil’s personal care markets will reach $1.62bn by 2018, with personal care chemicals having topped the $1bn mark in 2011. The fast-growing Brazilian middle class population has helped to drive this growth. As new demographic and socio-economic patterns start to prevail, this momentum can be maintained, says a Frost & Sullivan report.
It is indicated that the growth of the aged population would triple by 2020, and propel personal care products would need to be targeted to cater to this demographic, with anti-aging ingredients likely to be popular.
Demand for natural-based personal care products in Brazil would stimulate the demand for natural and green ingredients. Frost & Sullivan industry analyst, Lisse de Oliveira said, “The search for environment-friendly products and green chemical ingredients has driven the use of organic raw materials; commonly extracted from seeds, fruits and roots.” She also added that personal care chemicals companies should work on offering high-quality products at competitive prices. This would help to counter factors such as volatile prices and the availability of raw materials of varying quality which make up the ‘informal market’.
Hear more from Frost & Sullivan’s Senior Analyst, Ms. Lisse Oliveira at 2nd South America Surfactants HPC Markets in Sao Paulo in her presentation entitled “Market Outlook for Surfactants in Brazil”.

To strengthen its activities in response to the rising competition from international brands in Brazil, the Boticario group comprising of brands O Boticario, Eudora & Skingen is making heavy investments. They have announced the launch of a new make up brand, the setting up of a new plant and a logistics centre in the state of Bahia.
Artur Grynbaum, President of the Boticario group said, “With Quem disse, Berenice? we further reinforce the Boticario group’s operations in the cosmetic and perfumery markets and we strengthen our position as a leading player in the market. We are addressing a profile of consumer who is not in the focus of O Boticario and Eudora.”
The group’s new brand (Quem disse, Berenice?) was scheduled to begin operation in August with the opening of 6 franchised stores and an online store in September. It is considered an accessible brand with its diverse portfolio, fair prices, easy to understand language, optimally located stores and the e-commerce store with delivery throughout Brazil.
The group also announced that it was investing 650 million reals (255 million euros or 318 million dollars) for the development of its infrastructure in Brazil. BRL 380 million was for the construction of the new plant in Camaçari, near Salvador, in Bahia. The remaining 115 million is devoted to modernizing the facility in São José dos Pinhais near Curitiba (Paraná). To expand the plant and double the production capacity of make up products up to 75 million units per year, BRL 85 million will be spent. The remaining 30 million will be channelled towards the research and development centre.
