[TREND 9] Dispensing Skin Care Physicians Go Digital

physicians dispense skin care products online

The current pandemic has pushed physicians to dispense skin care products more often than before, as this was their major source of revenue during the lockdowns both in Europe and the United States. More than two-thirds of the physicians we surveyed in our recently published report cited that their retail business of skin care products has grown in 2020. What has contributed to this positive result?​

Many physicians are shifting to digital initiatives such as virtual consultations and tele-medicine to promote their services and products while engaging their patients. Several physicians have also launched websites to serve as a source of consumer-friendly information on skin care conditions, along with cosmetics and aesthetic treatments. Professional skin care marketers also increased their digital initiatives to support their physician accounts. ​

Physician-dispensed skin care brands have pivoted to e-commerce in a unique way by creating microsites this year. This concept allows consumers to replenish their favorite professional skin care products online through a unique URL that is linked back to their physician, while at the same time allowing the brands to support their physicians by giving them a commission for each transaction. Additionally, sales through third-party e-tailers like Dermstore and through brand websites fueled growth of professional skin care products.​

[TREND 8] E-COMMERCE Is Queen in Beauty

[TREND 8]E-COMMERCE Is Queen in Beauty

shift to e-commerce

This year, the beauty industry is witnessing one of the strongest shifts to e-commerce ever. The transformation began in March 2020 with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing the omnichannel approach to lose relevance as many brick-and-mortar retailers were forced to shutter. The change to digital will be accelerated as health and safety standards may encourage consumers to permanently use alternate methods to purchase products. ​

In this new beauty marketplace, a strong e–commerce presence is vital to surviving the pandemic. Today, the e-commerce channel accounts for more than 15% of beauty industry sales, up from almost nothing only a decade ago. Sales growth for 2020 is on track to surge by more than 20%. Virtual consultations, events, and try-ons, as well as online communities, live chatbots, and payment installment programs, are all strategies marketers are using to lure consumers online. Pick-up-and-go and delivery services also saw and will continue to see spikes in usage well into 2021.

Cosmetics Industry Spotlight

Cosmetics Industry Spotlight

The $350+ billion global cosmetics industry is comprised of six main product classes: fragrances, hair care, makeup, oral care, skin care, and toiletries. According to our research, skin care products i, account for about 30% of global sales and is the largest product class. The market that changes frequently, with new innovations, shifts in consumer preferences, and mergers and acquisitions altering the landscape each year presents new niches and opportunities… lesser known spaces that are often untapped. Therefore, Kline research, rigorously tracking information for the beauty and cosmetic market, has shifted priority on these new niches and now offers a full range of market research reports that examine these otherwise unmonitored spaces, including professional beauty, natural cosmetics and personal care, beauty devices, and alternate channels of distribution.

General Cosmetics and Personal Care Market

When Kline first started reporting on the cosmetics market in the 1960's with the inaugural edition of its Cosmetics and Toiletries research report, cosmetic packaging was mainly in glass bottles and jars. Many of today’s stalwart brands like Dove and Clinique were just debuting. The number of working women was on the rise, significantly boosting sales of color cosmetics. The competitive landscape was highly diversified, with producers falling distinctly into one of three buckets: soap, drug, and cosmetic.

By the 1970's, the disco era was in full swing, giving way to cosmetic collections featuring glittery eyes and full lips. Cosmetic packaging had begun to shift to plastic containers and cardboard boxes. Olay (then Oil of Olay) was acquired by Richardson-Merrell and quickly expanded into a category leader. Maybelline and Avon were also among the leading players, and the newbie list included Caress, Irish Spring, and Coast.
