Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Beauty and personal care in Switzerland posted further slight retail volume sales growth and a healthy rise in retail current value sales in 2024. However, retail value growth was largely due to high unit prices, caused by rising costs of raw materials, production and distribution.
2024 key trends
Dermocosmetics performed well in beauty and personal care in Switzerland in 2024. Swiss consumers increasingly looked for health-focused solutions without resorting to pharmaceutical treatments that potentially come with side effects. Dermocosmetics brands’ key selling point is that the products they offer are more active and efficient than regular offerings. Besides, these brands have scientific positioning, which gives them increased credibility among local consumers.
Competitive landscape
In retail value terms, L’Oréal Suisse was the leading company in the highly fragmented competitive landscape of beauty and personal care in 2024. The company, which devotes significant financial resources to research and development, is very much a leader in innovation. In 2024, L’Oréal Suisse announced its acquisition of a 10% stake in Galderma, aiming to capitalise on the expertise of both companies to expand the offer of dermatological beauty products. L’Oréal Suisse’s Dermatological Division continues to be an industry standout, as brands like CeraVe and La Roche-Posay are held to deliver on consumers’ demand for results on a budget. The company’s wide choice of leading brands in beauty and personal care in Switzerland included L'Oréal Paris, Maybelline New York, Lancôme, L'Oréal Paris Dermo-Expertise and Elsève at the end of the review period.
Retail developments
As a whole, health and beauty specialists led the distribution of beauty and personal care in retail value terms in 2024. Beauty specialists and pharmacies made strong efforts to offer exclusive brands, price promotions and discounts and loyalty programmes to attract and retain Swiss consumers. Supermarkets were also highly popular, leveraging wide selections, price promotions, a wide outlet network and convenience, with consumers adding beauty and personal care products to their baskets during weekly shops.
What next for beauty and personal care ?
Beauty and personal care is projected to see steady, if slight-to-moderate, retail volume and value (constant 2024 prices) growth over the forecast period. Retail value growth is expected to be slightly faster than retail volume growth. This performance is set to be driven by new product developments and the ongoing shift towards products with natural and organic positioning. Premiumisation is an anticipated trend, notably in high-end fragrances. Importantly, sustainable sourcing and manufacturing is becoming mainstream and no longer a clear point of differentiation.
