Introduction

Verdict Research: The UK health & beauty sector will outperform other sectors in 2007, having been the second fastest in 2006. However the main winners have been grocers who take £4 out of every £10 spent on H&B items. Specialists are fighting to protect their businesses - consolidating and repositioning being just two defences. This report analyses market size, dynamics, and profiles key players.

Scope

Comprehensive market coverage - ten years' data on health & beauty expenditure broken down into 11 product categories,1996-2007.
Extensive profiles of 13 of the major health & beauty retailers including analysis of their retail propositions, store portfolios and strategy.
Key operating statistics for each retailer - market shares, sales, store numbers, operating profit margin, sales per sq ft and space allocation.
Sales through distribution channels (including specialists, grocers, department stores and mail order) and market shares.

Highlights

Grocers have gained further share of the market and account for over £4 in every £10 spent on health & beauty in the UK. Tesco is getting closer to Boots, the market leader, each year, despite the latter's merger with Alliance. The four leading supermarkets took 78.1% of market growth over 2006, meaning specialists missed out on £448m in additional sales. Meanwhile Morrison's health & beauty sales overtook Superdrug in 2006 leading to four of the Top Five health & beauty retailers now being grocers and accounting for nearly half the market (44.9%). Market leader Boots merging with Alliance stemmed its market share slide, but has only increased its lead on Tesco by 0.1 percentage points. Its relatively cautious integration of the two businesses is allowing competitors to make stronger inroads into key areas for Boots - pharmacy, own brand development and premium products.
