Abstract
Introduction
Verdict Research: European Health & Beauty 2008 provides comprehensive analysis and data of the European health & beauty market covering expenditure, specialists' sales and space information across the EU27. This report benchmarks the leading six retailers and analyses the key strategic issues facing the sector.
Scope

- Authoritative profiles of the leading six retailers, including outlooks, market shares, trading records and store portfolios.
- Analysis of key strategic issues to help identify the opportunities and threats faced by EU health & beauty retailers.
Highlights
We estimate the EU health & beauty market increased by 3.9% in 2007 to EUR129.9bn. Of the Top Six markets, Spain has been the fastest growing in recent years, with a buoyant economy driving health & beauty expenditure up by almost a third between 2002 and 2007.
The EU15 account for 91.5% of the EU' s health & beauty expenditure led by the large, mature markets of Germany, the UK, France and Italy which each account for much more than a tenth of EU spend.
Germany has the highest specialist revenues at EUR50.0bn, in line with its position as the largest health & beauty market. This dominance is driven by its large and relatively affluent population as well as the extensive store networks of dominant drugstore retailers Schlecker, dm-drogerie markt, Rossmann and Müller.
