Beiersdorf has not yet benefited from the corona crisis. In the first nine months, sales fell by 8.5% to around € 5.2 billion. The regional sales markets have developed differently. While in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia a decline of 9.4% and 13% respectively was recorded, sales in America increased by 2.8% to over € 1 billion for the first time. The radical decline in travel volume was particularly dramatic.
Beiersdorf is particularly successful at airports with its luxury brand La Prairie. Due to the global lockdown, sales of this selective brand collapsed by 34.5%. Overall, the skin care product market was challenging. However, Beiersdorf was able to prevail against the strong competition and gain important market shares. Business with derma cosmetic products, including the core brands Eucerin and Aquaphor, was particularly good.
