Reasons To Buy
French consumers are always on the lookout for products that offer them a rewarding indulgence. However, consumers are moving towards more exclusive niche Fragrances with evolving gender identities.
French consumers want to make sure they are getting high quality when they use Fragrances products. While Quality is important, how the product reflects aspirations of an individual is also a priority.
The French Female and Male Fragrance categories will increase slowly but steadily in value, measured in US dollars, during 2013–2017 after negative growth in 2012. Even after recovery, the slow growth predicted during 2014–2017 is indicative of the difficulty in generating growth in a mature category in an economy characterized by low consumer spending.
Private label penetration in France’s Fragrances sector is low; the highest penetration rate is in the Unisex Fragrances category, where private labels held a high value share in 2012. Private label penetration in Male Fragrances and Female Fragrances categories was low due to the presence of established brands presenting a high entry barrier for private labels.
Private labels are gaining market share in the Female and Male Fragrance categories with the value of private labels increasing at a CAGR of 1.0% and 0.4%, respectively, during 2009-2012.
