Research Highlights:

With sales increasing by 20% a year, the natural & organic sector is the fastest growing in the North American cosmetics & toiletries market. High growth rates are because of the rise in ethical purchasing and ‘mainstreaming’ of natural & organic products. Distribution in mass market retailers is increasing as retailers focus on ecological and natural products. Mass merchandisers like Wal-Mart and Target are introducing natural & organic personal care products, whilst supermarkets like Loblaws and drugstores like CVS are expanding product ranges. Most sales however remain from natural food shops.

A key finding is that the North American market is evolving into a two-tier market. The first-tier comprises companies that have received a capital injection in recent years. These frontrunners, backed by large marketing budgets, are showing a large rise in market share as they expand distribution and strengthen their product portfolios. The second-tier comprises smaller companies that continue to focus on traditional markets.

Ingredient and formulation issues are becoming increasingly important. The large number of pseudo-natural products is leading consumers to scrutinize the composition of natural & organic personal care products. Manufacturers are responding by launching products with high levels of natural extracts, ethical and certified organic ingredients. Organic Monitor expects to see more certified fair trade and organic products as companies move away from ‘natural marketing’. Indeed, major new entrants like Yves Saint Laurent (Care by Stella McCartney) and Origins Natural Resources are launching Ecocert-certified products. Intelligent Nutrients is expected to have a major impact in 2008 with its novel range of nutritional cosmetics.
