Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Value sales of beauty and personal care in Laos grew strongly in 2024. However, a reliance on imported beauty and personal care products, combined with ongoing economic instability and currency fluctuations, has created challenges.
2024 key trends
Consumers in Laos are increasingly interested in multifunctional products that offer dual or multiple benefits in a single item. Examples include sun protection with anti-pollution properties, shampoos with scalp-care benefits, moisturisers with SPF, and sun care products with light acne care.
Competitive landscape
There are several multinational corporations in beauty and personal care in Laos. The leading player is Unilever PLC, which, among others, is present with its Dove, Rexona, Sunsilk, and Pond’s brands and which focuses on offering affordable, quality products to price-sensitive consumers.
Retail developments
Small local grocers is the largest channel for beauty and personal care in Laos. However, this channel’s share is contracting as affluent consumers are starting to purchase their beauty and personal care products from, supermarkets and department stores, while direct selling is also a popular source of colour cosmetics.
What next for beauty and personal care ?
The beauty and personal care market in Laos is expected to see growth due to several factors. Urbanisation, particularly in cities like Vientiane, is driving demand for premium skin care and cosmetics as urban consumers look for products suited to their lifestyles.
