...Environmental Analysis The PESTEL model and mega trend analysis are used to complete the environmental analysis. Economically, The Cosmetic and Beauty Products Manufacturing industry produces goods in two separate product lines which are nondiscretionary and premium goods. The nondiscretionary products line contains everyday essential goods including shampoos and deodorants that are in demand even when prices increase or disposable income decreases. The fact that these nondiscretionary products contribute majority of the industry revenue supports steady industry profitability. The most influential dimension of PESTEL analysis is technology. Research and Development has significantly influencing this industry. The introduction of new products has boosted demand, and the promises of younger looking skin and healthier hair have kept industry companies profitable. Companies invest in product development not only for bringing in new products, but also for advocating prestigious brand and sustaining market share.

...COSMETICS ADOPTION AMONG YOUNG MALE ADULTS IN MALAYSIA CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem Background Personal identity is increasingly sought by consumers and one is recognized based on what one consumes (Firat & Venkatesh, 1993). People try to become the being they desire to be by consuming the items that they imagine will help to create and sustain their idea of themselves, their image and their identity (Bocock, 1993). Judgements about individuals are no longer made upon occupation or role in production but rather on what is consumed and how individuals present themselves (Firat, 1993). Through the possession of products, consumers can display their successes reflecting their personal achievement (Mitchell, 1983). Postmodern consumerism is obsessed with appearance and consumption, where style is a substitute for identity and presentation overshadows essence. This concept is part of a culture that have feminized men (Brod, 1995) and considers women and men as equally involved in the practices of consumption (Bocock, 1993). Masculine and feminine differences have been abolished by the postmodern patterns of consumption (Kacen, 2000) and these patterns of consumption are both determined and enhanced by the types of products consumers invest in (Seabrook, 1999). The construction of the male consumer of who they are, of their identity as men, is now achieved as much through style of dress, body care, image and having the right look, as do their female counterparts...
