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

- Health & beauty expenditure, specialists' sales and space information,
including sales densities from 2002 to 2007 for each EU27 country.

- 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 MA-A?1/2ller.
