Drinking milk as the main subsector of this category has been subsided by the Iranian government for many years. However, during the last months of 2010, a considerable proportion of subsidies were eliminated by the Iranian government. First, it was planned that the government had to pay the eliminated subsidies to the key suppliers in order to prevent price increases. However, in reality, no money was paid to the manufacturers. Currently, manufacturers have to buy milk from husbandries with a price of almost IRR13,500 per litre, but final consumer price for fresh milk is around IRR13,000. This resulted in a dramatic decline in the profit margin for manufacturers (almost 0% or even negative). The Iranian government plans to pay subsidies to the manufacturers so they can maintain profitability but these payments usually do not happen on time and this has made things very difficult for milk manufacturers.

Even if demand continues to grow by double digits yearly, still not all people are entirely aware of the importance of consuming sun care products in a country like Ecuador, especially amongst lower-income groups. This means that the majority of the population does not use sun care products properly. For example in the case of sun protection, many still consider that they only need it for the beach or a long sun exposure, when in reality it should be used daily. Also, they think that with only one application of sun protection they will be completely protected, which is not true because they need to constantly reapply the product.

Hair care registered decent growth during 2012. On the one hand, rising value sales of hair care are mainly the result of unit price increases, while on the other Estonians continued to exercise much more freedom in their purchases of hair care products, favouring products which carry higher unit prices much more than in previous years. As many Estonian women are now taking more care to ensure that they always have beautiful and healthy hair, the popularity of hair care products which are free from parabens and silicones improved significantly in Estonia towards the end of the review period. This also meant that demand for natural and organic hair care products increased during the year as well, in spite of the higher prices charged for these types of products.
