Five forces analysis
The make-up market will be analyzed taking manufacturers of make-up products as players. The key buyers will be taken as retailers, and chemical companies and mineral producers as the key suppliers.
Rivalry in the market is assessed as moderate, with most of the companies having strong brands and enjoying geographical diversification. Moreover, relatively high fixed costs intensify rivalry as they make it more difficult to exit the market.
The market leaders own a variety of recognized brands and operate in various segments of the market, such as eye make-up, face make-up, lip make-up and nail make-up. Fashion is a major influence on the make-up market, with consumers differentiating themselves quite strongly through the styles and brands of make-up products offered. Larger retailers often occupy a strong position in the supply chain, which allows them to negotiate favorable contracts with manufacturers, thereby enhancing buyer power.
