Key Market Issues

• Most of the large retailers in Russia remain concentrated in Tier 1 cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. Russia is currently witnessing a trend for multi-format retailing by major retailers such as Auchan, a Hypermarket chain venturing into small format stores, or Magnit, also a Hypermarket retailer operating Drugstores. These retailers are branching out of the main Russian metropolitan areas and currently expanding in tier 2 and tier 3 cities with their multi-channel retailing strategy.
• Men's Disposable Razors and Blades in Russia is a mature market, while product innovation is driving demand for Aftershaves and Colognes. The Aftershaves and Colognes category is expected to witness the highest category growth in the overall Male Toiletries market between 2012 and 2017.
• Health and Beauty Stores and Hypermarkets and Supermarkets dominate retail sales in the Health and Beauty sector. Competition is set to increase as the retail chains expand steadily outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg to other major cities in Russia.
• The majority of Russian consumers prefer to use branded Male Toiletries and look for their usual brand when making purchases. Furthermore, big budget advertising campaigns by major brands also make it difficult for Private Labels to gain market share
• The increasing use of Pre and Post-Shave Cosmetics will drive demand for Bottle and Tube pack types. Moreover, packaging will see stylish designs in closures and colors. Meanwhile, demand for Box outers will also increase as a result of the rising usage of Aftershaves and Colognes.

Men's Disposable Razors and Blades is the largest category in the market by value share, but it is growing slowly compared to other Pre- and Post-Shave categories, which have gained in popularity among Russian men.
• Increased demand and growth opportunities in the male grooming market has driven Male Toiletries companies to introduce products such as aftershave lotion and balms with added benefits such as a hydrating effect, skin protection, anti-rash, and anti-aging.
• The Disposable Razors and Blades category accounted for over 60% of the total number of packs used in Russian Male Toiletries sector in 2012, driving significant demand for Rigid Plastic and Flexible Packaging materials.
