Health and beauty specialists registered current value growth in 2021, though constant value sales actually fell. This was largely due to a fall in spending in chemists/pharmacies, which is the largest product area.
Parapharmacy chain Coboe (under the Farmashop brand) continued to be the leading player among health and beauty specialists in 2021 and has been consistently gaining value share over the review period. The leading chain expanded the number of product categories sold to increase value sales, as it is restricted in terms of number of outlets, as there is a regulation that a particular chain’s stores cannot exceed 10% of total outlets.
Second placed was San Roque. San Roque remains a strong player in drugstores/parapharmacies.
Health and beauty specialists will register healthy value and volume growth over the forecast period. Beauty specialists will register the higher growth, as with society opening up, consumers will be keen to spend money on beauty products once again.
Drugstores/parapharmacies have been continuously stealing value share from chemists/pharmacies over the review period and by 2023 it is expected that drugstores/parapharmacies will pass out chemists/pharmacies in terms of value sales. The reason for the strong growth will be that drugstores/pharmacies are expanding their offerings beyond medicine and consumer-health in order to increase value sales, as they are restricted in terms of number of outlets.
E-commerce received a fuel infection from the pandemic in 2020 and while value growth was not as high in 2021, it was still substantial. This healthy growth will continue over the forecast period, as players reap the benefits from the online infrastructure they put in place during the lockdowns and consumers increasingly feel more confident about online shopping, due to improved logistics and secure payment options.
