Volume sales increased by 1% in 2013, compared with a CAGR of 2% in the review period, as the category reached its peak and was close to saturation.

Industry Prospects

With high penetration and maturity, cotton wool/buds/pads is expected to increase in line with population growth until 2018, with a value CAGR of 1% at constant 2013 prices. This performance will be lower than in the review period, considering the category has reached its peak. In a mature category, a lack of innovation tends to negatively impact brand manufacturers, as private label is already present in every area. Homogenisation of the offer can have a detrimental effect on sales, as consumers are not able to differentiate the products any longer. Innovations, inspired by medical devices such as Quies Otospoon and marketed as beauty products, could galvanise sales and help to sustain higher unit prices.
