Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Retail value sales of beauty and personal care rose in 2024, despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges. Morocco’s GDP recorded slight growth, rising from 2.4% in 2023 to 3.3% in 2024. While inflation surged in early 2023 – reaching a peak of 10% in February due to sharp increases in food prices – it began to stabilise over the course of 2024, growing at an annualised rate of 2.4% by the end of June.
2024 key trends
Shrinking household budgets in Morocco had a notable impact on hygiene products, particularly categories that were already mature. Value-conscious consumers increasingly opted for lower-priced alternatives or took advantage of discounts, promotions, and value packs. The trend towards value-added offerings stagnated in categories such as toothpaste, bar soap, and shower gel, as many consumers were satisfied with more basic products for daily hygiene. Multipacks of bar soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste gained popularity, while across hygiene categories more broadly, price reductions, bonus content, and a growing interest in economy variants and new affordable product launches emerged as key themes in 2024.
Competitive landscape
L’Oréal Maroc SA was the leading company within beauty and personal care in 2024. The company maintained its leading position in the Moroccan beauty and personal care market through a broad product assortment across both basic beauty and hygiene categories, as well as a strong presence in more niche segments such as salon hair care and dermo-cosmetics. Its portfolio spans all price tiers – mass, premium, and masstige–giving it a competitive edge across income groups. In addition to a steady stream of new product launches and consistent investment in mass media advertising, L’Oréal products benefit from widespread availability across physical retail and online channels. The company has also deepened its market penetration by launching its own dedicated kiosks – 19 to date – in key malls and shopping centres to exclusively retail its beauty lines.
Retail developments
Small local grocers remained the leading distribution channel within beauty and personal care overall in 2024. Their dominance is not only due to their proximity but also to their continued fulfilment of needs that are not fully addressed by modern retail outlets – namely, access to credit and the ability to purchase in smaller quantities. Challenging economic conditions led many consumers to return to shopping at local grocery stores, where credit is often extended to cash-strapped customers – an option generally unavailable in supermarkets, which require credit cards for such facilities.
What next for beauty and personal care?
Sales of beauty and personal care are set to rise over the forecast period. However, consumer confidence is expected to remain low, with modest economic growth forecast – GDP is anticipated to remain above 3%, while inflation is projected to hover just under that threshold. Against this backdrop, the economic downturn and shrinking household incomes are likely to result in continued economising during the early part of the forecast period.
