Leading Specialists Compete in a Highly Concentrated Health & Beauty Sector
Walgreens and CVS dominate the health, beauty & personal care sector, making up 64% of the sector’s sales in 2018. They are also driving innovation in the health & beauty sector by rolling out major in-store and digital initiatives aimed at building out omnichannel capabilities. With global consolidation a key trend within the sector, smaller specialists will need to invest in their fulfilment capabilities and broader health & beauty service offerings to compete over the next five years.
Further, ecommerce sales for the sector are expected to grow at 15% CAGR by 2023 in comparison to only 4% for store-based sales, which shows that brands need to invest in strengthening their online capabilities to cater to customers’ shift towards the digital shelf.
Major Global Pureplayers are Expanding into Health & Beauty
Outside of health and beauty specialists, other top global retailers are also looking to extend their footprint into the health and beauty sector. Pureplay retailers like Alibaba, Amazon and JD.com are projected to see double-digit growth in the category over the next five years, thanks to a range of recent initiatives such as Amazon’s new private label beauty range.
To stay competitive in the face of such challenges, health & beauty retailers will need to maintain a strong online assortment and added value proposition through in-store service.
