Brief introduction

The Indian Cosmetics Industry is defined as skin care, hair care, color cosmetics, fragrances and

oral care segments which stood at an estimated $2.5 billion in 2008 and is expected to grow at

7%, according to an analysis of the sector. Today herbal cosmetics industry is driving growth in

the beauty business in India and is expected to grow at a rate of 7% as more people shun

chemical products in favor of organic ones.

The emphasis of the herbal cosmetic has been on the spectacular growth of the herbal and

ayurvedic beauty products business as conveyed by beauty expert Shahnaz Husain who was the

first to introduce the concept of ayurvedic cosmetics to the world when she launched her

products way back in 1970. Today, the Indian cosmetics industry has a plethora of herbal

cosmetic brands like Forest Essentials, Biotique, Himalaya, Blossom Kochhar, VLCC, Dabur

and Lotus and many more. The Indian cosmetics industry has emerged as one of the unique

industries holding huge potential for further growth. In 2009, the cosmetics industry registered

sales of INR 356.6 Billion (US$ 7.1 Billion) despite the global economic recession. Indian

cosmetics Industry has mainly been driven by improved purchasing power and rising fashion

consciousness of the Indian population and industry players spending readily on the promotional

activities to increase consumer awareness and develop their products.

According to a new research report, the Indian Cosmetics Industry is expected to witness

impressive growth rate in the near future owing to rising beauty concern of both men and

women. Today the industry holds promising growth prospects for both existing and new players.

The baseline is that there has been a rise in variety of products offered by the industry players in

the country. The companies have started going for rural expansion and are offering specialized

products to generate revenues from all the corners of the country. Improvement and

strengthening of the Indian economy in the coming years will also pave the way for the Indian

cosmetics market over the forecast period and develop the Cosmetic Industry.

The Indian Cosmetic market which traditionally a stronghold of a few major Indian players like

Lakme, and Ponds has seen a lot of foreign entrants to the market within the last decade. India is

Page 4: Indian cosmetic industry

a very price sensitive market and the cosmetics and personal care product companies, especially

the new entrants have had to work out new innovative strategies to suit Indian preferences and

budgets to establish a hold on the market and establish a niche market for them.

Market capitalization

According to analysis and figures given by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), the total

Indian beauty and cosmetic market size currently stands at US$950 million and showing growth

between 15-20% per annum. The overall beauty and wellness market that includes beauty

services stands at about US$2,680 million, according to CII estimates.

million of the market. Industry sources estimate a rapid growth rate of 20% per annum across

different segments of the cosmetics industry reflecting with an increasing demand for all kinds of

beauty and personal care product. Growth in the Indian Cosmetic Industry has come mainly from

the low and medium-priced categories that account for 90 % of the cosmetics market in terms of

volume.

industry is expected to witness fast growth rate in the coming years on the back of an

increase in the consumption of beauty products. Owing to growing disposable income of

the middle class households and changing lifestyle.

behind the high cosmetic sales of around INR 356.6 Billion (US$ 7.1 Billion) in 2009.

Market players are getting lucrative and good opportunities as people have become more

beauty conscious due to changing lifestyle and spreading consumer awareness.

According to ASSOCHAM the size of India's cosmetics market will rise by almost a half

to 1.4 billion dollars in the next two-three years as people get fashion conscious and more

brands are launched. With increased awakening about cosmetics brands, which is evident

even in rural India, the industry size will grow to around 1.4 billion dollars from current

level of 950 million. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast

period.

Indian Cosmetics Industry is set for a significant growth depending on the capability of

the manufacturers to market their products. Products that claim to renew cells, minimize

pores, and restore hydration have created an $83 billion worldwide market.

Due to the optimistic assessment the domestic cosmetic and toiletries industry show that

with increased awakening which is growing even in rural India, its size will grow in next

2-3 years to around US$ 1400 million from current level of US$ 950 million. Till then

India’s per capita consumption of cosmetic and toiletries products could be on par with

that of China which currently is US$ 1.5, says ASSOCHAM analysis.

Major players

Emami Ltd Emami Limited is an Indian producer of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), such as

cosmetics and health and baby products. The company is based in Kolkata. The inception of

Emami Group took place way back in mid seventies when two childhood friends, Mr. R.S.

Agarwal and Mr. R.S. Goenka left their high profile jobs with the Birla Group to set up Kemco

Chemicals, an Ayurvedic medicine and cosmetic manufacturing unit in Kolkata in 1974. It was

an extremely bold step in the early seventies when the Indian FMCG market was still dominated

by multinationals.

But against all odds with a vision of combining the age old wisdom of Ayurveda with modern

manufacturing techniques for creating winning brands the company was started with a meager

amount of Rs. 20,000. A dream of reaching out to the Indian middle class; a target audience who

Page 15: Indian cosmetic industry

they thought will have increasing potential for consumption, the company started manufacturing

cosmetic products as well as Ayurvedic medicines under the brand name of Emami from a small

factory in Kolkata. In 1978, Mr. Agarwal acquired Himani Ltd. Ten years after commencement

of the company, it launched their first flagship brand Boroplus Antiseptic Cream under the

Himani umbrella in 1984. Many additional brands followed Boroplus including Boroplus Prickly

Heat Powder which came as a brand extension of the mother brand. Today Boroplus is not only

the largest selling Antiseptic Cream in India but also in Russia, Ukraine, and Nepal.

Nineties was very eventful for Emami. The next flagship brand of the company Navratna Cool

Oil came in the nineties under the Himani Umbrella. In 2005 Emami created a marketing history

in India by launching Fair and Handsome, the first fairness cream for men. Among the brands

created by the company, today Navratna brand is Rs.300 crore followed by Boroplus brand

standing at Rs.250 crore and Fairness family standing at Rs.100 crore. Sona Chandi

Chyawanprash, Menthoplus and Fast Relief also among the top brands in their respective

categories. In 2006, J B Marketing & Finance Ltd., the erstwhile marketing company of the

Emami Group merged with Emami Ltd. and the total turnover of Emami including sales in

domestic and export market stood at Rs 516 crores at the end of the fiscal year 2006-07.

Emami Limited with an investment of Rs 700 crore has acquired major stake in Zandu

Pharmaceuticals Works Ltd on the basis of huge business synergy between Zandu and Emami.

Post the acquisition of Zandu Pharmaceuticals a century old household name in India, some of its

prominent brands like Zandu Balm, Zandu Chyawanprash, Zandu Kesri Jeevan, Zandu

Pancharishta, Sudarshan and Nityam Churna are also under Emami’s basket of brands. Within

three decades, the company has grown into a huge Rs. 1000 crore Emami Ltd under the flagship

company of the Rs.3000 crore Emami Group.

Lakme Lakmé is an Indian brand of cosmetics, owned by Unilever and run by CEO Himanshu Jani.

Lakme started as a 100% subsidiary of Tata Oil Mills (Tomco), part of the Tata Group; it was

named after the French opera Lakmé, which itself is the French form of Lakshmi, the goddess of

wealth, also renowned for her beauty. Indian cosmet Lakme was started in 1952, famously

because the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was concerned that Indian women were

spending precious foreign exchange on beauty products, and personally requested JRD Tata to

manufacture them in India. Simone Tata joined the company as director, and went on to become

its chairman. In 1996 Tata sold off their stakes in Lakmé Lever to HLL, for Rs 200 Crore (45

million US$), and went on to create Trent and Westside. Even today, when most multinational

beauty products are available in India, Lakme still occupies a special place in the hearts of Indian

women

Lakme also started its new business in the beauty industry by setting up Lakme Beauty Salons all

over India. Now HUL (Hindustan Unilever Limited) has about 110 salons all over India

providing beauty services. Lakme' has been ranked as 47th most trusted brand in India by The

Brand Trust Report

Ponds

Pond's Cream is a brand of beauty and health care products that is produced by the Ponds

Institute which is owned by the multinational company Unilever. Pond's Cream was invented in

the United States as a medicine by scientist Theron T. Pond (1800–1852) in 1846. Mr. Pond

extracted a healing tea from witch hazel, with which he discovered he could heal small cuts and

Page 29: Indian cosmetic industry

other ailments. The product was named "Golden Treasure", after Theron died, it would be known

as "Pond's Extract".

By the twentieth century, the company's main strategy was geared towards selling cosmetics

products, and so the "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and the "Pond's Cold Cream" were created,

marking the entrance of Pond's products into the facial care industry. Today Ponds is sold around

the world. Its strengths are in Spain, India, Japan and Thailand. Pond's Company was merged in

1955 with the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, which had a good percentage of brands in

the facial care field. With this merger, "Pond's Creams" would become sisters with the Cutex nail

polish brand and the Matchabelli perfumes. In 1987, the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company

by most known as "Chesebrough-Ponds", was acquired by Anglo-Dutch company Unilever,

giving "Pond's Creams" a more international reach. Then 14% of the company was subsequently

traded privately to Bhosle Group of Industries for an undisclosed amount of money. The Brand

Trust Report, India Study, 2011, conducted by the Trust Research Advisory included Pond's in

the list of the most trusted brand in India.

Procter & Gamble Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd was incorporated in the year 1964, as

Richardson Hindustan Ltd (RHL). The company initially manufactured menthol, dementholised

peppermint oil and Vicks range of products. RHL was acquired by Procter & Gamble, USA in

the year 1985 consequent to which its name was changed to Procter & Gamble India Ltd. In the

year 1999, the company got its present name.

Page 33: Indian cosmetic industry

The company manufactures and markets two types of products - healthcare products and female

hygiene products which are sold under the famous brands 'Vicks' and 'Whisper' respectively.

There are variants under each of these two brands. But the two brands dominate the offerings.

P&GHH has sold a number of non-core businesses and brands. The company divested its

laundry and detergent business to its sister concern P&GHP in 1992--93 even as it continued to

contract manufacture detergents for it. In October 2005, the company completely exited the

detergent business after transferring its manufacturing facility to P&GHP.

The company divested Medikar anti-lice shampoo business to Marico Industries in 1998--99.

Another manufacturing tie-up for shampoo, formed with P&GHP, was terminated in 1999--2000

after a formulation change of the product had necessitated huge capital investment. In 2000--01,

the company divested one of its earlier brands, Clearasil. Old Spice brand of products, which the

company started marketing in the year 1993 was licensed (trademark & business) to Menezes

Cosmetics Pvt. Ltd in December 2002. After the various disinvestments, the company is left with

its 'Vicks' and 'Whisper' businesses. The former accounts for about 40 per cent of the revenues

and the latter about 60 per cent.

The company's plant is located at Kundaim in Goa with capacity for cream and formulations at

4,213 tonnes per annum and that for cosmetics, perfumes and toilet preparations at 10,133 tonnes

per annum. The company's capacity utilisation is low at 24 per cent for healthcare products and

42 per cent for cosmetics, perfumes and toilet preparations.

The company purchases personal products and toilet preparations from outside. But over the past

five years, the purchases have declined drastically and in 2005-06 they formed 4.8 per cent of

total raw material cost. The company also outsources manufacture of healthcare products.

The company has set up two new plants for healthcare products in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The

plants commenced commercial production during March 2007 quarter. The company exports

Vicks Vaporub to Asean countries, Japan and Australia. However, the exports turnover

contribute a meagre one per cent to the overall sales revenue of the company.

Page 34: Indian cosmetic industry

The foreign promoters of the company Procter and Gamble and Rosemount Corporation own

around 68.7 per cent of the total stake. Institutional Investors and the Indian public hold stakes

of 8.4 per cent and 17.5 per cent, respectively.
