Outlook
The country still faces major dilemmas that might impede growth for beauty and personal care
over the forecast period. One of the biggest issues that affects the industry is the looming and
worsening problem regarding traffic and poor road planning. Although this problem is
significantly felt in major cities across the country, the neighbouring countryside areas and small
cities are being well affected as well. This might discourage consumers from purchasing
products, eg premium beauty and personal care ones, that are limitedly available through select
stores in cities. On the brighter side, further plans for improving roads and highways have
already been made, aiming to alleviate the congested traffic in major cities.
Middle-income consumers are foreseen to be wiser in spending their money. Investments in
different formats are expected to increase over 2015-2020 as savings can be made due to rising
incomes and the stable economy. This might result in a greater number of affluent consumers
as middle-income consumers aim to upgrade their social status. Premium brands, product
innovations, niche categories within the market and emerging categories will further benefit from
this lifestyle change over the forecast period.

Outlook
The trend for healthy active lifestyles among Filipinos is expected to be even stronger over
the forecast period. The increasing popularity of spending extra time outdoors for healthy
recreational activities is foreseen to not only affect individuals or groups of friends. It is set to
further extend to families, which was already an emerging trend in 2015 but will be more
apparent over 2015-2020 as middle-income consumers will continue to rise in number. Demand
for beauty and personal care products that feature health benefits will increase over the forecast
period, creating huge potential for this trend to abundantly develop. Some categories such as
sun care are expected to be taken advantage of by companies since brands offering sun care in
the country remain very limited. Knowledge dissemination of the health benefits of using certain
beauty and personal care products, eg sun protection, is likewise predicted to occur.
Outlook
The trend for internet retailing is expected to heavily affect beauty and personal care over the
forecast period since it currently faces significant obstacles hindering further growth. One of
these dilemmas is the still problematic quality of the internet provided by telecommunication
companies, which triggers doubts and distrust among a lot of consumers. Poor internet service
creates room for massive errors, problems and delays, which can cost both the companies and
the consumers significant time and money. The possible entrance of the huge
telecommunication company Telstra excites consumers due to its global presence and promise
of a higher-quality service, which might encourage its prospective counterparts to lower the

costs of their internet service or at least improve on what they give to their customers. However,
the entrance of Telstra is still yet to be decided upon with no current alternatives to the poor
internet service that the country has. Furthermore, a lot of consumers still doubt the products
being delivered by online retailers due to the massive backlash towards bogus services. This
might continue in the forecast period due to the lack of government initiative and capability to
fight internet scams and crimes.
Further innovations in technology are expected to invigorate the way consumers purchase
their beauty and personal care items. Companies are just waiting for costs to fall, to be able to
be profitable in investing in online retailing, due to the current high price of the service. However,
once the internet improves in the country, many brands, products and companies are expected
to participate in the fast-emerging internet retailing channel.
