"Health and Beauty Specialist Retailers in the United Kingdom" now available at Fast Market Research

Health and beauty specialist retailers are struggling overall, as consumers became increasingly diversified in their shopping habits when buying consumer health or beauty and personal care. Healthfood shops, classified as "other" grocery retailers, are notably proving successful, with Holland & Barrett in particular attracting consumers via discounting and a wide range. Meanwhile apparel and footwear specialist retailers such as Primark and H&M are expanding their beauty and personal care ranges. The main challenge was however posed by internet retailing, which accounted for 10% of value sales in beauty and personal care and 11% in consumer health by 2015, up from 7% and 8% share respectively in 2010. Sales growth for chemists/pharmacies and drugstores/parapharmacies is also being impacted by poor sales growth for OTC remedies in the country, as many consumers shifted their focus from symptomatic relief to leading healthier lifestyles.
