Summary
Figure 9: Forces driving competition in the personal hygiene market in Peru, 2010
The Peruvian personal hygiene products market is fairly concentrated with the top three players holding 54.8% of the
market share.
Independent retailers are the main buyers and may exert strong buyer power. Suppliers of ingredients and packaging are
smaller relative to manufacturers, which decreases supplier power in this market. However, they provide for a diverse
client base and do not rely on this particular market, boosting their power somewhat. Attempting to enter this market is
difficult, as new entrants will have to compete with large players benefiting from scale economies.
In Peru, the main distribution channels for the personal hygiene products are independent retailers, which account for
38.5% of the sales value. Thus, the size of the average buyer is significant, which enhances their negotiating position
and therefore increases buyer power. Moreover, retailers often occupy a position of power in the supply chain which
allows them to negotiate favorable contracts with manufacturers. Consequently, this enhances buyer power. Although
products are not highly differentiated, commoditization is not an issue here and certain products manage to stand out
due to certain benefits and specific qualities (for example development of hypoallergenic deodorants). Margins, as well
as the presence of strong competitors, can make it difficult to achieve success in hygiene products market. Branding is
an important way of maintaining end-user loyalty, and as a result retailers are required to stock the more popular brands,
which reduces their bargaining strength and buyer power. Overall buyer power is assessed as moderate.
Suppliers in the personal hygiene market include those providing and manufacturing raw materials such as surfactants,
bio-fuels such as palm oil, aluminum salts, etc; packaging; and equipment for the production of personal hygiene
products. The quality of many of the raw materials is highly important. Chemicals used in the manufacture of such
products must be up to certain standards, and for some ingredients there are no substitutes which tend to increase
supplier power. Suppliers are often small in scale compared to the largest manufacturers and consequently their power
is reduced, but this effect is mitigated somewhat by the fact that chemical producers gain revenues from a wide variety of
sources, reducing their dependence on personal hygiene product manufacturers. Overall supplier power is assessed as
moderate.
The growth within the Peruvian personal hygiene market has been relatively slow in recent years but there are
opportunities to gain market share particularly with the growth of niche sectors such as the male grooming market. This
makes the personal hygiene market attractive to prospective entrants. However, the major companies are large firms
whose scale economies allow them to compete more effectively on price, and invest in research and development
activities; therefore small scale companies entering the market may find it difficult to succeed. Substantial funds are
needed to start a successful business, with capital required for investment in production, distribution, and also
advertising (which is crucial for success in this market). Counterfeits of personal hygiene products can be found, and can
both dilute a company’s brand image, and also lead to a loss of revenue for the brand’s owner. It is also vitally important
for new entrants to find a place on the supermarket and drug store shelves to distribute their products widely; new
entrants must persuade retailers that it is worth displacing older brands to make way for a new, unknown product.
Overall, the likelihood of new entrants is moderate.
For consumers, there exist possible substitutes for personal hygiene products: i.e. in the form of traditional, homemade
products. Deodorants can be made using alum, baking soda and rubbing alcohol; ingredients for homemade
antiperspirants may include rubbing alcohol, alum, rose water and regular water. While the cost of preparing such
products may be lower than branded ones, the preparation process is usually more difficult and may involve some basic
chemistry knowledge. Also gathering all ingredients may be time consuming and quality of homemade products is
expected to be lower than traditionally bought goods. Overall, the threat of substitutes is assessed as weak.
The Peruvian personal hygiene market is dominated by a few multinational companies, namely maxingvest, Unilever and
Alicorp. Many of the market players sell similar products. This has led to a highly competitive environment with many
labels competing for the same share of the market. On the other hand, the wide range of product types offered by the
market leaders means companies are not reliant on any one category for their revenues. Fixed costs are high in this
market, as most companies own large production facilities. Most of these companies are geographically diversified which
weakens rivalry to some extent. Overall the competition level is assessed as strong.
