Download the Health and Beauty Marketplaces Sector Report 2023 in which we take a deep-dive into the customer relationship between their favourite health and beauty brands and buying these on marketplaces.

The health and beauty sector encompasses a diverse range of products and as such, a customer’s journey could be a quick, value-driven purchase with the site of choice being the grocery store, online pharmacy or a health and beauty retailer.

Marketplaces, such as Amazon, offer consumers this fast value-driven proposition. It has grown by understanding the core of what drives consumers to purchase online, not just in one category but across multiples, and in different countries and across borders.

We examine how retailers already established as leaders in the beauty or skin care category can use the  marketplaces model which is a relatively risk-free, low cost growth with higher margins than more traditional retail models.
