Beauty and Personal Care in Uruguay report says favourable economic conditions are expected to be extended well into the forecast period, though economic growth will not repeat past rates. Beauty and personal care value sales in constant terms, however, are foreseen to post growth rates in the same range of the last three years of the review period. Several categories are already mature or rapidly approaching this condition and as volume growth stagnates in deodorants, hair care, men’s toiletries and oral care, the future performance in these categories will depend on the evolution of unit prices, which is not expected to be very fast. Growth in the smaller categories is not foreseen to be large enough to boost overall growth rates to past levels.
Beauty and Personal Care in Algeria report says the market is expected to maintain healthy value performance over the forecast period. All categories are expected to continue to see positive growth due to various product developments and higher purchasing power among urban consumers who can then satisfy their wish to follow beauty trends influenced by Europe and the Middle East.

In Uruguay, two important acquisitions took place in 2012: Linzor Capital Partners acquired the main parapharmacies chain Farmashop and Colgate-Palmolive Inc SA acquired Abarly SA, the most important domestic company in oral care. Announced plans for Farmashop include the further expansion from the current 78 stores with new ones in the interior of the country. Colgate-Palmolive Inc SA also made it known that it will keep working Abarly’s brands, thus gaining entrance to smaller oral care segments where Abarly SA has a strong presence.
Market dominated by international companies and brands
There are only three domestic companies with their own brands amongst the top twenty with Terry SA, ranking tenth, the best one but with a comparatively small share. International companies Unilever del Uruguay SA, Colgate-Palmolive Inc SA and L’Oréal Uruguay SA with wide portfolios have been maintaining the top three positions (in that order) unchanged during the last decade.
Supermarkets remains on top
Supermarkets continued leading sales of beauty and personal care products in 2012. Working with very wide portfolios, especially in the large supermarket chains, these outlets channel a high percentage of the large mass segments of the hair care, deodorants, men’s grooming and oral care categories that combined for almost 60% of the total sales of beauty and personal care in 2012.

In Algeria, the government’s regular interventions in closing down outdoor markets and street vendors contributed to decreasing counterfeit and parallel trade, which left room for growth for both domestic and international players. Several categories such as colour cosmetics and fragrances, which were previously strongly affected by illegal competition, started to develop as a result of these actions.
International players own the dominating brands
International manufacturers continued to dominate players in beauty and personal care. The influence of the European media, perception of higher quality and wider product offerings are the main factors of their success. However, domestic manufacturers are rapidly growing, in some categories more than others, and are beginning to gain share as they target the largest groups of low and mid-income households.
Independent small grocers continues to dominate but witnesses rising threat from other channels
Independent smaller grocers remained the dominating channel for beauty and personal care sales in 2012 due to the large number of outlets, proximity and long opening hours. However, the development of modern grocery retailers which have a larger choice of products and can afford to launch discounts and promotions, and also rapid expansion of beauty specialist retailers, are once again offering competition to independent smaller grocers which is continuously losing share.
