Despite Receding Ecomony, Makeup in Brazil to Grow
The Brazilian beauty market is growing rapidly despite Brazil’s receding economy. The desire to look beautiful among young Brazilian women is stronger than the recession.
According to the report, the value of the makeup market in Brazil will increase from R$7.1 billion in 2013 to R$13.4 billion by the end of 2018, despite the downward spiral of the rest of the Brazilian economy, which has been registering negative economic growth in three of the last four quarters. This shows that the Brazilian makeup market is booming, even in times of low consumer confidence and in poorer areas of the country.
The Desire to be Beautiful
“Young women seek a professional image in the workplace, and are more willing to experiment for special occasions," says Kirsty Nolan, analyst at Canadean. "They are also more likely to follow the fashion, regularly changing their makeup look to keep up with the latest trends.”
Key for Success: Direct Sales and Private Label
Selling products directly to consumers away from a fixed retail location is very popular in the Brazilian makeup market. Direct sales provide an enjoyable experience for consumers, as they can take a little time out to browse the catalog and build a good relationship with their local sales representative.
Direct sellers such as Avon and Natura are leading, and Sephora has successfully established its own private label brands available through its catalog. Those companies can not only offer consumers a good range of products straight to their door at affordable prices, but they also have more control over profit margins.
