Nivea hand cream was most popular among German consumers, followed by Balea and Kamill. All three are drugstore brands which offer a variety of products.
On hand
Hand cream is a daily accessory for many German consumers and one of the most used body care products. It’s standard to see a tube within easy reach both at home and in the workplace. Nivea enjoys high rankings in terms of purchase leadership across various types of products. Its success is truly spreading. The brand is also popular among male consumers with its cosmetics line Nivea MEN.
Cream of the crop
Skin and facial care revenues have been not only stable during recent years but rising, so hand creams will continue to be in demand in the near future. The leading skin care market worldwide is China, followed by the United States and Japan. However, Germany still makes the top five on a global scale.
