PROSPECTS

Direct selling benefits from growing number of sales agents

Direct selling remains a relatively niche retailing channel in South Africa when compared with the overall retail market. The most common format in direct selling in South Africa remains person-to-person direct selling.

Beauty and personal care direct selling set for bright future

Beauty and personal care direct selling remained by far the largest category within the channel in 2018, although growth slowed slightly compared to the previous year due to the economic problems faced by the country. The strength of beauty and personal care direct selling is in part down to the strong presence of Avon in South Africa, with it having the trust and loyalty of a large number of consumers.

Internet retailing poses threat to some areas of direct selling

While some areas of direct selling should continue to see healthy growth over the forecast period others are likely to struggle against the growing threat of internet retailing. For example, apparel and footwear and personal accessories and eyewear are projected to see slower growth with pure online retailers such as Fashionhub and Zando increasing their presence, while many store-based retailers are also taking an omnichannel approach.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Avon maintains lead

Direct selling is a highly fragmented channel with the entry of new players making the channel increasingly competitive. Nonetheless, despite losing share, Avon Products Inc maintained a healthy lead in direct selling in 2018.

Forever Living Products attractive to buyers and sellers alike

Forever Living Products International LLC continued to perform well in 2018, with the company being ranked third overall in direct selling. Forever Living Products is a multi-level marketing company that offers a range of health and beauty products made from natural ingredients, including Aloe Vera drinks, weight management products, nutritional supplements, as well as skin and personal care products.

International players lead the way in direct selling

All of the leading players within direct selling are international, with these benefiting from their global experience and larger financial muscle. Other notable players include Amway with its Nutrilite range of vitamins and dietary supplements, Herbalife Nutrition and AMC which offers a range of homewares products, including kitchenware, cookware and tableware.
