Beiersdorf has initiated a strategic realignment of the Nivea brand to combat declining sales and market share. Following a 7% drop in Nivea sales in the first quarter and a subsequent reduction in the group’s 2026 revenue outlook, the company launched an 18-month plan to restore growth. The strategy involves a significant shift away from recent attempts to position Nivea as a premium brand. Instead, the company is refocusing on its classic, affordable product lines to better compete with budget-friendly alternatives. This includes expanding availability in discount retailers such as Aldi and Lidl to increase market penetration and volume growth. Recent reports confirm Nivea is continuing this shift by introducing new product categories, such as deodorants, specifically for discount retailers like Aldi and Lidl to regain its footing as an affordable everyday brand.
