The company Godefroy Diffusion wants to enter the Danish market for cosmetics and hygiene. To this end, the company manager Alain Thibaux is attempting to understand the structure of this market in two ways: - conducting a study of the Danish cosmetics market. Prospecting the demand of insurance from COFACE.
These two missions will allow one to assess the presence or absence of opportunities and consider a possible settlement with the help of insurance prospecting. The company markets its products under two brands of natural beauty which are: Algologie, which is reserved for selective distribution in beauty salons, health centers, and spa centers, and Fleur de Merm which is reserved for direct and large sales.
Godefroy Diffusion is already present on the world market in 15 countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, Taiwan etc.) with this method of distribution, and wants to expand its global presence by entering new markets such as Denmark. Before any final decision of penetration, one can study the Danish market for perfumery, cosmetics and toiletries.
Despite an increase of 38% (in value) in terms of production of perfumery, cosmetics and toiletries on the Danish market from 2004 to 2006, it remains insufficient to meet the needs of the population.This is one of the reasons why import is essential and is increasing in the Danish market .
Moreover, in this sector French Brands are appreciated by Danish, and have earned a strong reputation. France has positioned itself as a leader on the Danish market and a main supplier, with Germany coming in second. Indeed the share of French products in imports to Denmark increased from 22% to 25% in a period of only two years.
Denmark is a country where the consumption of cosmetics per capita is modest and the size of the market remains relatively low. There is a strong demand for perfumery, cosmetics and toiletries from abroad with the main importer being France.
