LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Industrial Overview

 


The global market for cosmetics and toiletries sales isaround USD 277 billion currently and is expected to expand with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7 percent to reach USD 325 billion by 2010. The players belonging to the cosmetics and toiletries industry are currently enjoying buoyant sales as consumers are more inclined pay out a greater share of their free cash on products that will improve their image. Additionally, the emergence of new markets for Home and Personal Care (HandPC) products in Russia, Japan, UAE and other Asian countries are likely to provide fresh avenues of growth. According Euromonitor International, value of sales

increased more than 45 percent over the last 6 years, as consumers developed more sophisticated tastes. Further, global cosmetics and toiletries sales reached a five years high in 2006 with sales growing 5.5 percent. Greater growth is expected on account of emerging markets in regions such as Latin America and Eastern Europe.


 

In India, this sector has shown considerable growth, mainly on the account of continuous increase in volume due to constant innovation and development of value added products. People across categories and income groups have been increasingly spending on personal care products as a result of higher disposable incomes. India's rural markets too have seen lot of activity. Future growth is expected from deeper rural penetration and higher consumption. Oral Care Market The size of the global oral care products market was estimated at USD 537 Million in 2004 with a expected growth rate of 5 percent per year. The oral care market, especially toothpastes, remains under-penetrated in India (with penetration levels below 45 percent) due to the lack of hygiene awareness among rural areas. In recent periods increasing launches of oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwashes is contributing to significant growth of more than 8 percent every year. Sun Care Market Globally, the 2005 sun care market of USD 5.6 billion is forecast to reach USD 7.2 billion by 2010. Innovations in valueadded products are expected to drive growth of 2 percent per year. According to Euromonitor International, growth of the U.S. sun care market, the world's largest market, is expected to be 9 percent over the 2005-2010 period. In addition to sun protection products, there is an increased focus on developing products for after-sun exposure (moisturizing and soothing properties), self-tanning products and a shift in focus from beach-oriented products to daily-use skin care applications. In the Indian sub-continent there is a strong demand for lightening properties in skin care. Sun protection is registering heightened demand from women seeking to maintain pale skin. Therefore, sun protection will continue to be the driver of overall domestic sun care sales. Segmenting to meet the needs of different genders is also likely to be successful as research has illustrated that each sex has different levels of tolerance to the sun. Ski.ti Care Market The skin care segment is expected to be among the fastest growing categories in the market for skin care, cosmetics and beauty care products. The total market for skincare products has been valued at USD 38.3 billion globally, second only to the hair care sector. Comparatively, the Indian skin care and cosmetics market is valued at USD 274 Million. Mintel's global new products database (GNPD) statistics on the number of launches in cosmetics and skincare show that cosmetics clocked 43,758 new launches during 2004-06, the largest of any product category, followed by skincare category with 31,836 launches worldwide. Hair Care Market. The hair care market is one of the fastest developing markets within the image industry. Compared to the USD 56 billion global market, the size of the domestic hair care market is estimated at more than USD 250 Million. Future domestic growth is expected from deeper rural penetration and higher consumption. In the next period, as a result of increased consumer awareness, disposable income and consumption, value and volume growth rates are anticipated to rise in this sector. The growth in the global sun care, skin care and hair care has been driven by the increasing consumption of personal care products by the male segment and the increase in per capital income in developing countries. The Pharmaccurical industry The Indian pharmaceutical industry is on the forefront of science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in drug manufacture and technology. The industry is estimated to be worth USD 4.5 billion growing at about 8 to 9 percent per annum. The industry plays a key role in promoting and sustaining development in the field of medicines. It boasts quality producers and many units approved by regulatory authorities in the USA and the UK. Highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units, the industry has expanded significantly in the last two decades. The leading 250 pharmaceutical companies control 70 percent of the market with the market leader holding approximately a 7 percent market share. The market is subject to severe price competition and government price controls.

 

Contract Manufacturing

Contract manufacturing plays a significant role within the pharmaceutical industry. Many international pharmaceutical companies use contract manufacturers to manufacture their products. An increasing number of firms, mainly from Europe and Japan, are considering India to be a cost-effective location for manufacturing certain chemicals. Manufacturing outsourcing in the personal care intermediary space is in itsincipient phase. The sector is expected to grow at around 60 to 70 percent.

 

Specialty Pharmaceuticals

The global market for specialty Pharmaceuticals is worth more than USD 1 billion and growing at 5 percent per year. Specialty Pharmaceuticals cover an innovative range of new products and have shown tremendous acceptability levels, and poised to grow

in global and domestic markets.

Manufacturing facilities Vivimed conducts its manufacturing activities based on the principle of 'right-sizing for right-sourcing". It is well positioned with manufacturing facilities in two strategic locations: Bidar, Karnataka and Bonthapalli, Hyderabad with 250 kl per day and 400 kl per day capacities, respectively.
