ANALYSIS
COMPETITION
Competitors in the online cosmetics retail sector
are static. There are 3 main players which include: Douglas,
Sephora, and Flaconi and other fashion retailers adapting to
the cosmetics market such as Zalando beauty and ASOS
beauty. The competitors with the most market share have
shown the least amount of adaptation to trends. Zalando
beauty and ASOS beauty still remain under the fashion
retailer image. Smaller startup retailers such as Purish have
a more modern image but also, are slow to adapt to
sustainable brands and a more gender neutral image.
