This document provides an overview and discussion of key themes in the beauty industry from an investment firm's perspective. The beauty industry remains an attractive consumer packaged goods sector with strong growth opportunities emerging from premiumization trends, expansion in emerging markets, and disruption from new entrants. Traditional retailers with both online and physical presences have an advantage over online-only players due to consumers' preference for in-store beauty discovery and trials. Consolidation continues as companies seek scale and new capabilities. Online replenishment represents a significant opportunity for beauty product sales.
