Even though there has been a slowdown in sales due to lower growth expectations in the Chilean economy, the current and expected performance in this sector is much more dynamic than in other industries. Nowadays, Chilean women find themselves with more disposable income. As a consequence, they demand more premium and sophisticated products than twenty years ago. They have become increasingly willing to pay higher prices in exchange for higher-quality products that offer enhanced properties and advanced formulas to satisfy their beauty and personal care needs. Likewise, Chilean men have more options also. The main players and their brands continue to innovate and import new products with a special focus on categories such as men’s fragrances, men’s toiletries and men’s shaving. On the other hand, there are great opportunities for improvement in categories such as hair care, bath and shower and skin care as Chilean men continue to use unisex products daily.
