INTRODUCTION

PLUNKETT’S CONSUMER PRODUCTS, COSMETICS, HAIR & PERSONAL SERVICES INDUSTRY ALMANAC is designed to be used as a general source for researchers of all types. The data and areas of interest covered are intentionally broad, from the various types of businesses involved in consumer products, to the evolution of personal service businesses, to an indepth look at the major for-profit firms (which we call “THE CONSUMER 200”) within the many industry sectors that make up the consumer products arena. This reference book is designed to to assist with market research, strategic planning, employment searches, contact or prospect list creation and financial research, and as a data resource for executives and students of all types. PLUNKETT’S CONSUMER PRODUCTS, COSMETICS, HAIR & PERSONAL SERVICES INDUSTRY ALMANAC takes a rounded approach for the general reader. This book presents a complete overview of the entire consumer products industry (see “How To Use This Book”). For example, the disruptive influence of social media on marketing, the impact on demand of growing middle classes worldwide and the dominance of Amazon.com in consumer product ecommerce.

THE CONSUMER 200 is our unique grouping of the fastest growing, most successful corporations in all segments of the consumer products industry. Tens of thousands of pieces of information, gathered from a wide variety of sources, have been researched and are presented in a unique form that can be easily understood. This section includes thorough indexes to THE CONSUMER 200, by geography, industry, sales, brand names, subsidiary names and many other topics. (See Chapter 4.) Especially helpful is the way in which PLUNKETT’S CONSUMER PRODUCTS, COSMETICS, HAIR & PERSONAL SERVICES INDUSTRY ALMANAC enables readers who have no business background to readily compare the financial records and growth plans of consumer companies and major industry groups. You’ll see the mid-term financial record of each firm, along with the impact of earnings, sales and strategic plans on each company’s potential to fuel growth, to serve new markets and to provide investment and employment opportunities. No other source provides this book’s easy-tounderstand comparisons of growth, expenditures, technologies, corporations and many other items of great importance to people of all types who may be studying this, one of the most promising industries in the world today.

or industry associations in question for the very latest changes and data. Where possible, we have listed contact names, toll-free telephone numbers and internet site addresses for the companies, government agencies and industry associations involved so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.

By scanning the data groups and the unique indexes, you can find the best information to fit your personal research needs. The major companies in the consumer products and personal services industry are profiled and then ranked using several different groups of specific criteria. Which firms are the biggest employers? Which companies earn the most profits? These things and much more are easy to find. In addition to individual company profiles, an overview of consumer products, markets and trends is provided. This book’s job is to help you sort through easy-to-understand summaries of today’s trends in a quick and effective manner. Whatever your purpose for researching the consumer products field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: •

Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of early-2023. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of the end of 2022.

•

Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

•

Some of the companies in THE CONSUMER 200 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.

•

This volume is intended to be a general guide to a quickly changing industry. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview and, when conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations

•

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through mid-2022. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.

•

We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

& Services Industry Consumer products and services are such an ingrained part of everyday life that it might be easy to take them for granted and forget their importance as an industrial sector. As items that are generally expected to be readily available in modern households, consumer products can take on a very broad definition. At Plunkett Research, we consider the consumer products industry to include household products, soaps and cleansers, cosmetics and makeup, along with products for skin care, nail care and hair care. Also, we consider a wide range of businesses to be in the consumer services sector, including pet

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

care; nail and hair salons; spas and massage services, and many other types of personal services. Plunkett Research estimates the U.S. market for barber, beauty and hair salons at $52.5 billion for 2023. The global beauty products and personal care products market is estimated at $577.5 billion for 2023. At Plunkett Research, we estimate U.S. Cosmetics, personal care products and household cleansers manufacturing industry revenues at about $107.1 billion for 2023. While mass-market retailers, including discount stores, department stores, drugstores and supermarkets, are major sellers of consumer products, there are also a considerable number of specialty stores focused on personal care products, including the Ulta chain of beauty and skin care products, as well as its competitor Sephora.

as Ulta and Sephora. Some stores have trained employees to dab products on themselves for socially distanced customers to see from six feet away. Other businesses are investing in digital and online tools that mimic trying-on products using selfies uploaded to company web sites. In some cases, this resulted in heavy use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and other advanced technologies, in order to create the types of customer experiences that can build brand loyalty and lead to continued sales. Another shift in consumer products is a reduction in variety. Many manufacturers are focusing on their best sellers and discontinuing some items that are less popular, thereby streamlining production and supply chains, and enabling them to meet soaring demand at outlets such as supermarkets and discount department stores.

3) Online Marketing, Social Media and

Consumer Products & Services Industry The Coronavirus pandemic had a sweeping effect on the consumer products and related industries, from loss of traffic at beauty salons, barber shops and retail outlets, to a massive boost to sales of cleansers and sanitizing products. Shelter-at-home orders vastly changed the way people live and work, and many of those changes will linger, or become permanent. During the lockdown, foot traffic at many cosmetic, hair and personal services providers ground to a halt. People were not going out to get their hair cut or colored, nor were they getting nail services, massages and other spa services. Many people were not wearing or using cosmetics, or at least cutting back on them significantly. Brick and mortar salons were closed for weeks and often months. On the converse side, at-home consumer products saw an uptick during this period. At-home hair color business Madison Reed saw its sales soar as did cosmetic retailer Sephora’s online sales. Meanwhile, packaged consumer goods such as toilet paper, soap and household cleaners rapidly sold out at businesses that remained open (grocery and drug stores as well as big box retailers such as Walmart, Costco and Target). Online sales of these items also skyrocketed for home delivery. It must be noted, however, that commercial demand for these items in public spaces, such as office buildings, bars and restaurants, plummeted. By mid-2020, personal services businesses began to slowly reopen in many cities, following strict safety and cleanliness protocols. In-store cosmetic or fragrance tester stations became things of the past, which greatly altered business models for stores such

Ecommerce Enable Startups/ Disruption in Consumer Products and Cosmetics A handful of extremely powerful trends are disrupting the consumer products and services segment. The most noteworthy may be the marketing power of the internet. Digital marketing has been incredibly disruptive, enabling startups to gain rapid popularity and grab market share from incumbents such as Unilever. Small firms can readily set up shop with their own websites and then draw traffic by utilizing a wide variety of digital platforms, such as Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, health and beauty bloggers, Twitter and similar promotional opportunities—many of which are free-of-charge. Small firms can also reach millions of potential consumers via global sites such as the Amazon Marketplace and China’s Tmall. The Coronavirus caused online sales of consumer goods to soar. Social media has made digital marketing even more powerful for consumer goods. The fact that many consumer products, such as hair and beauty items, are best sold through images means that sites like Instagram can give products a very quick and powerful boost through user-generated photos. Consumers’ posts about new products that they like provide a further boost. Savvy marketers worldwide are making the most of this phenomenon with great success. Sales often soar when the right “influencers,” such as film stars, popular bloggers or music celebrities, are convinced to boost products online, often through generous fees or the offer of a stake in the company that is being boosted.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Marketing is everything in the consumer products and services world. While the barriers to launching a startup are low, the competition is fierce. It can be virtually impossible to get shelf space in drug stores or supermarkets for a new product. This makes the flexibility of the internet absolutely vital to a startup. Gross profit margins tend to be very high in many consumer products. That is, the cost to manufacture a beauty product typically represents a tiny fraction of the retail price. The greatest expense is typically in marketing. Likewise, packaging can be extremely important, and sometimes quite costly for items that sell at luxury price points. These high gross profit margins attract a large number of savvy entrepreneurs who see the opportunity to disrupt various product categories. One of the best stories is that of the Dollar Shave Club. The firm’s founder, Michael Dubin, recognized that razors and blades represented a massive market with recurring revenues. Consumers know how many blades they need each month, and traditionally, they paid substantial retail prices at stores to get their blades on a regular basis. Dubin realized that he could offer quality razors at discount prices on a subscription basis. This offered the consumer both convenience and savings. The concept quickly earned great success, gaining 3.2 million customers in its first four years of operation. Dollar Shave Club was so disruptive that it was acquired by Unilever for about $1 billion. Online marketing and social media are enabling more and more consumer products companies to reach their customers using a direct-to-consumer business model. Beauty Pie is a website that offers members steeply discounted beauty products on a monthly buying plan. Members choose from four different membership packages, each with a monthly spending limit (there is a three-month minimum requirement). The site connects its members directly with beauty suppliers at much lower prices. A lipstick may sell in a department or super beauty store for $25 while Beauty Pie offers it at a discount that might be 66% off. Another firm, at-home hair color maker Madison Reed, sells most of its products from its website, www.madison-reed.com, with a small portion sold through super beauty stores and QVC. The company offers a tool, called the Madi Chatbot, that analyzes selfies uploaded by customers and matches their hair color to Madison Reed shades.

SPOLIGHT: Coronavirus Spurs Use of AI to Personalize Consumer Products Consumers who are shopping for consumer goods online due to the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020-2021 are finding new products that are tailored to personal preferences and needs. For example, L’Oreal’s Makeup Genius app is a virtual mirror that works on smartphones, enabling users to “try on” makeup using selfies. The app had over 20 million downloads in its first year. In 2021, L’Oreal launched Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Sur Mesure Powered by Perso, a device that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to mix cartridges of different shades of lipstick to create bespoke shades tailored to the wearer. The device has a detachable compact that users can take anywhere for easy application of makeup on-the-go. Estee Lauder worked with Perfect Corp.’s YouCam Makeup virtual makeup tester to develop its iMatch Virtual Shade Expert foundation matcher and iMatch Virtual Skin Analysis for at home skin care planning. 4) A Growing Middle Class in Emerging

Markets Creates Vast New Opportunities for Consumer Products Rapid growth in the global middle class is another powerful trend that will continue to generate massive opportunities for sellers of consumer products and services. Literally hundreds of millions of people have been raised from the lowest income levels to the bottom rungs of the middle class thanks to global economic growth over the past 30 years. Such families and their children have become the newest consumers of toothpaste, toilet paper, cosmetics, deodorant and household cleaning supplies. Massive quantities of goods are being sold into markets that literally didn’t exist a short while ago. Consumer spending in developing nations has been growing at a soaring rate and will continue to do so. Massive global household goods and cosmetics firms like Unilever have been riding this wave in order to significantly increase sales. While local competition is growing in many product categories, consumers who can afford the price often prefer wellknown European, Japanese or American brands, which they feel may be safer and of higher overall quality. Also, many consumers in emerging markets like to brag about their use of famous, global brands, considering them to be status symbols. (These trends have already been a huge factor in the global growth of food outlets, including Starbucks, KFC and McDonalds.)

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

In order to best take advantage of the emerging middle class, consumer products firms have been alert to local customs and preferences. Products may be sold with different scents, package sizes and descriptions in India than are offered in Indonesia. For example, products that claim to make skin color appear lighter may be popular in some markets, while products that are scented with green tea or ginger are popular in others. Nonetheless, toothpaste is still just toothpaste. Retail price points may need to be lower in rural China than they are in Europe or Japan; therefore, packages are often much smaller. 5) Amazon’s Online Market Share

Dominates The standout winner in ecommerce of late is Amazon, where global sales have soared thanks to aggressive discount pricing and an ever-growing variety of merchandise categories. The gross value of merchandise sold through the company’s “Marketplace” partners is roughly equal to Amazon’s own sales. (Amazon records only the service fees it charges these Marketplace retailers, not the full price of the merchandise sold.) Amazon has become a market leader in vital merchandise categories including apparel and such consumer goods as health and beauty products. By 2022, Amazon accounted for over 40% of all U.S. ecommerce merchandise sales. (Another big winner is the Shopify platform that operates websites for smaller retailers.) Amazon’s phenomenal growth is a result of excellent corporate strategy plus its competitive pricing and convenience. Shoppers don’t have to drive to a store, thereby saving on gasoline as well as time. Amazon has also diversified to an amazing extent, offering everything from jewelry to appliances to groceries to industrial and scientific supplies. Shipping can be expedited through the Amazon Prime program which, for a modest annual fee, offers unlimited free two-day shipping, the option to upgrade to one-day shipping for a few dollars and no minimum order size. Amazon had approximately 150 million Prime members in the U.S. alone as of 2022, according to industry analysts, and those customers spend, on average, considerably more than non-Prime customers. Amazon Prime Now offers two-hour delivery for groceries and other household items in many major U.S. cities. Also, Amazon has been placing banks of lockers in retailers such as grocery, convenience and drug stores in urban areas. Amazon packages can be placed in these special lockers, so that customers can later pick up packages themselves, using access

www.plunkettresearch.com

codes sent by email, instead of trying to be at home to meet delivery by UPS, FedEx or the U.S. Postal Service. Deutsche Post DHL has offered a free locker service in Germany for years. In 2017, the Amazon acquired specialty supermarket firm Whole Foods Market, Inc. for $13.7 billion. This is an extension of Amazon's rapidly expanding grocery sales strategy. The company also offers AmazonFresh, a grocery delivery service for Prime members in select U.S. cities for an additional monthly membership fee. As of early 2018, Amazon became the largest online beauty product retailer with 21% of the market according to 1010Data. Amazon designed digital, online storefronts which are special sections for luxury beauty items and for salon, spa and dermatology products to help customers find new products. Amazon also moved into the pharmacy business, fulfilling drug prescriptions that are ordered online. Amazon has so much online power that manufacturers are building exclusive product lines for the Amazon brand. The initiative markets products in an “Our Brands” campaign to Amazon customers. (Amazon typically markets these products under house brands like Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials, but it also utilizes a broad range of other brand names that are not as clearly linked to the firm.) It offers participating manufacturers quick customer feedback, top listings in search results and marketing support. Amazon benefits because it does not have to invest money and effort into developing exclusive products. Companies including GNC, Tuft & Needle and the makers of Equal sweeteners have already created exclusive products for Amazon. 6) LOHAS-Socially Conscious Consumers

Create Challenges and Opportunities for Advertisers and Marketers LOHAS, an acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, is a term used to describe the segment of consumers whose purchases are influenced by matters such as corporate social responsibility, recyclable materials, energy efficiency, organic contents, toxicity, allergens, environmental impact and alternative living styles. “Eco-friendly” products are important to them, but these consumers should not be confused with extreme “greens” or environmental fanatics. LOHAS consumers typically prefer to buy organic or “natural” foods, dietary supplements and personal care products; they also often prefer alternative medicines and therapies in the form of

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

acupuncture, massage and herbal remedies. Furthermore, these consumers tend to be strong advocates for renewable energy and seek out socially conscious products and companies. LOHAS consumers are from all age groups and income levels. Although this group of people is far from homogeneous, it represents a significant and growing portion of the consumer market. Some of their issues have begun to gain popular momentum. In the face of growing levels of obesity, pervasive chemicals and hormones found in food, and the world’s massive fossil fuel consumption, concerns about personal health and sustainable energy have begun to affect consumer buying practices. As a result, many more companies have begun to present themselves as environmentally and socially conscious entities. Many have taken steps to build green facilities, to place stricter controls on the working conditions at factories run by suppliers, or to ensure that fair wages are paid by suppliers. Many also contribute significant sums to charitable organizations. A vast segment of consumers wants to utilize household products and cosmetics that are free of toxic chemicals and that have a lower impact on the environment. Often, they are willing to pay a bit more to satisfy this personal interest. A good example of this trend is the Honest Company. Founded by celebrity actress Jessica Alba, Honest states that it is a “wellness brand with values rooted in consciousness, community, transparency and design.” Its marketing strategy is to offer products that avoid certain chemicals while featuring innovative styles or designs. At the same time, the firm discusses the amount of time and money that it gives back to charitable causes. The celebrity status of its founder, combined with savvy marketing and positioning, has generated great success. Merchandise includes baby products (including diapers), bath and body products, cosmetics and vitamins. Magazines as diverse as Shape and Town and Country have devoted entire issues to environmentally friendly topics. Advertisers jumped to provide eco-sensitive ads highlighting products that fall into “green” categories such as those using recycled packaging or non-animal tested. The trend has gathered strength, with regular columns and articles appearing every month in issues of a wide variety of publications. Recent trends in high energy costs have combined with the global financial crisis to boost the LOHAS mentality. Consumers are now much more

www.plunkettresearch.com

financially conservative, and they want items that are of lasting value. A “less is more” mentality will spread. For example, the continual growth in the size of the average new home built in the U.S. has stopped, and homes will be smaller, but smarter, going forward. The same is true in automobiles, as evidenced by the tremendous success of the small, but smart, cars like the Prius and the Mini. Health care costs and other considerations are boosting demand for products that promote a healthy lifestyle. Discount giant Walmart made news when it informed its 100,000 suppliers that they must disclose full environmental costs of making their products. Walmart will then compile a “sustainability index” based on the information and assign a grade to each supplier. In 2019, a number of shampoo, detergent and packaged food companies were expected to begin offering products in reusable containers. PepsiCo, Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., Nestle SA and Unilever are designing packaging made of glass, steel or other materials that can be returned, cleaned and refilled. It remains to be seen whether or not this will become a growing sustainability trend widely supported by consumers. Internet Research Tip: Walmart, the world's largest retailer, has set dramatic goals for the application of the latest green technologies in packaging, energy and other areas. To see the results, go to: http://corporate.walmart.com/globalresponsibility/environmental-sustainability . Savvy retailers, manufacturers and marketers will adopt the following practices to position themselves for the LOHAS market: • Stress the utility and long-lasting value of products (as well as their inherent beauty and fashion) • Stress an organization’s sensitivity to environmental issues, energy concerns, personal health needs and restrained personal budgets • Show consumers concrete examples of value, lowered environmental impact and/or reduced costs in products and services • Cater to consumers’ concerns about health issues by supporting appropriate causes and creating tieins to health education and issues • Be aware that consumers will pay more for LOHAS-centric goods and services, but only when they see lasting value or reduced

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

environmental impact. For example, surveys consistently show that many consumers will pay a bit more for electricity that is generated by renewable means. Another example: Each month, thousands of consumers pay a higher price for hybrid-equipped vehicles than they would have paid for traditional cars, even though it can take years and years to earn a return on that extra cost • Day-to-day consumer products must be priced within reason, even if they have high LOHAS factors Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. 7) Private Label Brands Grow in Share of

Total Store Sales Discount stores and a number of other retailers are offering more and more products that are private label. Instead of being limited to selling branded products from major manufacturers like Procter & Gamble, growing numbers of stores are contracting for the manufacture of store-branded merchandise. Such is the case with Walmart and its Ol’ Roy dog food, the George line of apparel or the Sam’s Choice products found in its Sam’s Club stores. One-half of the goods sold at Target and Kroger stores are now privately branded (Kroger owns and operates dozens of manufacturing facilities in the U.S.). Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand is on everything from cookware to paper goods to food items. Although this method has long been used by department store chains and a handful of specialty store chains, few have picked it up with as much enthusiasm or effectiveness as the discount retailers. Rampant inflation in 2022 deeply challenged consumers’ household budgets and caused sales of private label goods to grow due to their lower prices. Sales of private-label items are generally growing at a faster rate than those of name brands. Overall, private-label sales in the U.S. (in supermarkets, drug stores, mass-market merchandisers and club and dollar stores) reached $199 billion in 2021, up from $158.8 billion in 2020 and $142.3 billion in 2019, according to the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA). One out of every four products sold in the U.S. has a private label or is a store brand. Supermarket company Kroger Co. saw private label sales rise by more than 10% after adding 147 new store-brand products in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021. New products included Kroger’s brand called Smart Way, which launched in September 2022 and was already purchased by two million households by the end of

www.plunkettresearch.com

the quarter. Europe’s Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize NV reported that store brands account for half of all sales in the Netherlands and Belgium (compared to only about 30% in the U.S.). France’s Carrefour says that private label products account for 33% of sales currently and plans to increase that share to 40% by 2026. Many consumers have determined that store brands consistently offer high quality at much lower everyday prices. Retailers note that store brands boost customer loyalty. As an alternative to going through the painful process of establishing their own brand names, discount stores have also been picking up brands that have been left by the wayside. Taking brand names that were abandoned by their original manufacturers, or ones whose trademarks have expired, the retailer then releases the product afresh, relying on the memories of its customers to inspire renewed sales of the product. A prime, and somewhat ironic, example of this is White Cloud toilet paper, which was originally made by Procter & Gamble. After P&G dropped the brand, it was picked up by Walmart. Taking advantage of a once well-recognized brand name, Walmart put its White Cloud private brand toilet paper on all its shelves and saw sales skyrocket as customers remembered an old favorite. Sitting next to it on the shelves, at a slightly higher price, was Charmin, the toilet paper currently made by Procter & Gamble. Amazon.com is into private labels in a big way. Amazon launched a line of house brand items called Amazon Elements. Initial products included diapers and baby wipes. Diapers have long been a very highvolume item for Amazon. The Elements line is designed to appeal to eco-conscious and qualityconscious consumers. The firm provides very deep product origin information, such as where and when each item was made and the sources of ingredients. Amazon has also developed a line of electronic accessories called AmazonBasics, which has diversified to offer a wide variety of products such as fitness equipment, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom items, garden and outdoor furniture, home office supplies and much more. Diverse Selling Techniques Boost Direct Marketers and Non-Store Sales Several decades ago, non-store retailing consisted only of catalogs (such as those from Sears, Roebuck & Co.), mail-order ads in magazines or newspapers and door-to-door peddlers of such items as Watkin’s Vanilla Extract, Fuller Brushes and Kirby Vacuums. Slowly, non-store retailing evolved. By the 1970s,

8)

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

upscale catalogs such as the Horchow Collection had emerged in large numbers, catering to the growing base of affluent households where women were holding demanding, well-paying jobs and had less time or inclination for traditional shopping. At the same time, multi-level marketing was booming, and scores of new companies copied the methods of leaders like Avon, Amway and Mary Kay in selling cosmetics and other personal-care items through legions of independent representatives. Business-tobusiness catalogs of such items as office supplies also saw rapid growth. By the late 1980s, mail-order sales of personal computers and related accessories soared, as early leaders like Gateway and Dell Computer found success via aggressive advertising in computer magazines. Television shopping became sophisticated as the advent of new, niche cable TV channels created additional sales venues. Today, non-store selling (sometimes called “direct selling”) is giving traditional retail selling a run for its money. It has steadily chipped away at the market share of stores. For the past several years, however, non-store selling has been migrating more and more to the internet, while selling through traditional direct marketing, such as through the mail or by telemarketing, is of less and less importance. Direct selling involves both old-fashioned methods and state-of-the-art technologies. The direct marketing and direct response industry includes thousands of companies offering unique niche catalogs; television home shopping programs; millions of independent sales representatives selling everything from lingerie to cookware through personal calls and party-like events in the home; telemarketers; internet-based retail sites; and firms using additional, innovative non-store methods. Non-store Retail Sectors: Catalogs, direct mail and mail-order advertising Television home shopping programs and infomercials, along with direct sales offers broadcast by radio • Livestreaming (internet-based video shopping shows) • Merchandise or services offered via interactive television programming • Door-to-door and “party” selling • Telemarketing Note: Many sophisticated non-store retailers use combinations of these methods with ecommerce sites. • •

www.plunkettresearch.com

Extremely sophisticated database software now enables direct marketers to mail, e-mail or telephone their offerings to well-targeted groups. For example, matching such data as home value, occupation, credit rating and automobile type owned against a database of residents in a particular city may identify those most likely to purchase a particular item or line of merchandise. Likewise, very specific categories of consumers can be targeted in online ads on sites such as Facebook. It is important to note that there are several purposes for direct marketing. For example, in the case of a catalog mailed to the home by a seller that does not operate any stores at all, the intent is to close the sale through direct contact with the consumer. This is more precisely defined as the “direct-response advertising” segment of direct marketing. More broadly, direct marketing can have other purposes, including the generation of sales leads or the creation of a level of interest in the consumer that will generate store traffic. In instances where a retailer has both stores and catalog operations, direct marketing serves multiple functions. Restoration Hardware is a good example. Consequently, modern retailing, advertising and marketing methods have blurred the distinctions between mass media marketing and direct marketing. For example, is a banner ad on a web site a direct marketing effort or is it mass media advertising? If you simply look at the banner without clicking on it, and the meaning of the ad or the name of the retailer registers with you, then the ad may be a mass media branding success. On the other hand, if you click on the ad, and eventually make an online purchase rather than go to a retailer’s store, then the ad is a direct-response advertising success. With regard to telephone orders, today’s socalled “call centers” are staffed with well-trained order takers and customer service representatives at both traditional and non-store retailing firms. Many of these call centers are outsourced to foreign countries where labor is cheaper than in the U.S. Consumer calls are routed to these centers, where operators use the latest in database and telecommunications technology to expertly answer questions, take orders and suggest high-profit-margin upgrades to those orders. Special software in the call centers keeps track of a customer’s questions, complaints, purchases and needs. In seconds, an operator can see a customer’s complete, long-term history of purchases and other activities with a simple keystroke on the computer. This not only provides faster and more thorough customer service, but it

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

may also give the customer a false sense of a personal relationship. Catalogs and Direct-Mail Offerings: Catalog retailing remains an immense business. Billions of print catalogs, direct-mail offerings via letters, brochures, flyers and postcards are mailed to U.S. households each year. Catalog shopping can offer great convenience and frequently offers better prices than shopping in stores. Catalogs also remain a popular venue for items we may not want our neighbors to see us buying in a store. However, retailers are relying more and more on digital marketing, such as email and websites, while reducing catalog expenses and analyzing their mailing lists more carefully in an effort to drop addresses that are less likely to respond. Television-Based Shopping, Cable Systems and Interactive TV: Television shopping shows were an instant hit. For example, QVC, Inc., a subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation, is a televised shopping network based in West Chester, Pennsylvania that broadcasts internationally with locations in Germany, Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom. “QVC” stands for quality, value and convenience. In the U.S. market, it reaches the majority of U.S. homes with cable service. Globally, it reaches tens of millions of homes. Interactive television services are growing rapidly, leading to new opportunities for direct selling via TV. With interactive cable TV services, subscribers can order movies on-demand and other unique services. They also have the ability to respond to direct sales offers via their cable systems. For example, viewers watching a pay-per-view music concert may be able to order souvenirs such as tshirts via the cable system. Cable TV offers another unique advantage to direct sellers and other advertisers. Since the cable system knows the address of the cable subscriber, that address information can be matched against demographic databases to create a unique profile of the subscriber based on likely household income, value and size of the home and other data. Ads displayed by the cable system can then be custom tailored to match the viewer’s profile. Livestream Shopping: Online interactive shopping is booming, especially in the era of the Coronavirus. Livestream shopping, also called interactive shopping, combines entertainment, social engagement and ecommerce. Viewers see celebrities or highly skilled commentators pitching merchandise, and viewers may chat as well as click to buy. Amazon’s Making the Cut programming, for

www.plunkettresearch.com

example, features Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn (of Project Runway fame) and 10 ambitious fashion designers competing for $1 million to invest in their brands. Winning looks are available for purchase on Amazon.com and viewers can create Watch Parties to chat with each other. Livestream shopping is especially popular in China where celebrity Huang Wei (known as Viya) hosts live online shopping nightly. On Singles Day in 2020 (China’s largest shopping event each year), she sold more than $1.2 billion in online purchases. Independent Representatives, Party-Based Selling and Other Personal Direct Selling Methods: While this type of non-store retailing has been with us for a long time, the growing struggle of middleclass families to become stable, two-income households has added greatly to the popularity of a sideline career as an “independent consultant” for companies like Mary Kay, Avon and Amway. However, the Coronavirus has forced the industry to evolve so that it relies more on digital marketing, such as emails from reps, and less on in-person sales. The strategy of using individual reps as sales agents grew outside the United States. Avon, Amway and other direct sales firms have made sales in emerging nations, including China. In fact, Avon, long a major name in U.S. marketing, found its business dwindling in America. In 2019, it split into two units, selling most of its business to international beauty retailer Natura & Co., which also owns The Body Shop and Aesop. (The separate Avon North America business was acquired by Korea-based LG Household & Health Care.) Representative selling has often been looked on with scorn, mostly because of the so-called “pyramid schemes” that often left recruits indebted to the company, trying to sell goods that no one wanted. Today’s practices are very different, especially in legitimate businesses that look for long-term returns and loyalty from both customers and recruits. Companies like Avon, which has been in business for more than 100 years, have taken great pains to develop a functional recruiting and selling structure, and have come up with multi-level pay packages that can yield marketers a satisfying return and encourage “group leaders” not only to sign up recruits, but also to teach these recruits how to sell. Payments to these group leaders are based on sales of those they have recruited, giving them a strong incentive to take responsibility for those under them in the hierarchy. Mary Kay’s business model inspired many other companies to launch new brands and sales networks

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

offering a broad spectrum of products, across the U.S. and around the world. Another direct selling option from the home is women’s apparel. Companies such as Carlisle and Cabi enable women who are independent representatives to show and sell clothes and accessories from their homes or company show rooms at trunk shows, usually held four times per year. It’s a model similar to Tupperware parties. At Carlisle, for example, “associates” are trained by district sales leaders to learn the ropes of fashion display, merchandising and marketing, as well as the nuts and bolts of processing orders and collecting payments. Each quarter, associates send out advance marketing materials and invitations (professionally produced by Carlisle) to friends and acquaintances. Appointments are made by customers to see and try on pieces from the current line. Orders are placed, and then the apparel is delivered to the customers within several weeks. Prices range from $60 for accessories up to $1,000 or more for suits and outerwear. Average annual income for associates have been about $40,000, with top sellers earning more than $100,000. Super Beauty Stores Combine Shopping with Personal Care Services Retailers such as Ulta Beauty, Inc. and Sephora offer wide varieties of beauty products, cosmetics, skin care products and perfumes in addition to services such as makeovers. Prestige brands such as Lancome and Clinique are offered as are massmarket brands like Maybelline and CoverGirl. Samples and vibrant displays boost shopper engagement. Super beauty stores also offer startup beauty product brands a forum and exposure they are unlikely to get at department stores or beauty supply stores. As opposed to department stores, these beauty retailers offer a wider variety of products and perks such as loyalty programs, beauty classes and in-store events, all focused on the beauty needs of consumers. Sephora, owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, offers carefully curated brands, including independent brands, emerging brands, classic brands and the company’s own SEPHORA COLLECTION brand. Sephora operates approximately 3,000 stores in 36 countries worldwide. The Sephora PRO Team is an elite group of makeup artists hand-picked for their skill, creativity and ability to inspire others via education in the form of demonstrations, makeovers and beauty tips. The PRO Team provides its

9)

educational tips via social media, in-store and at local and national client events. Ulta (formerly Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc.) is one of the largest one-stop beauty retailers of both prestige and mass market beauty products, as well as and salon products and salon services. Throughout its stores located across the U.S., Ulta offers more than 20,000 prestige and massmarket beauty products, organized by category and in such a manner that encourages customers to play with, touch, test and learn about them. In addition, every Ulta store offers a full-service salon combining hair and beauty services with the sale of a wide range of salon hair care products. In some locations, Ulta offers facial services and “brow bars” for eyebrow waxing, tinting and shaping. Ulta views itself as a destination retailer, locating its stores in high-traffic, off-mall locations, such as power shopping centers and lifestyle centers. With an approximate average size of 10,000 square feet and an open store layout, the company believes it is able to respond to consumer trends and changes in merchandising strategy with great flexibility. Ulta offers a loyalty program, Ultamate Rewards, with more than 23 million active members. Meanwhile, department store Saks Fifth Avenue hopes to compete with super beauty stores by moving at least some of its cosmetics departments (which traditionally have been located on the ground floor, which has long been considered to be the most valuable location in a department store) to locations upstairs and adding treatment rooms and spa services. A test of this concept was first announced for the firm’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The new department is 40% larger than the old ground floor space and includes as many as 15 spa treatment rooms. Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Barney’s department store chains are also testing major changes and enhancements to their cosmetics marketing. This is a full-scale effort to battle massive competition from online sellers of cosmetics and fragrances. In January 2019, Bloomingdale’s launched a completely remodeled cosmetics and beauty department that includes 36,000 square feet of space on the ground, plus niche departments on three additional floors, in their massive flagship store on 59th Street in Manhattan. The space is more open and inviting than the old cosmetics department. There is also a greatly expanded “Fragrance Hall.” Customers are able to book appointments to have their makeup done on-site, and they can choose from more than 200 beauty brands in the store. A spa on the third

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

floor offers facials and other services. This redesign has clearly developed to compete with the services offered by beauty super store Ulta. However, the Coronavirus has severely limited shoppers’ ability to test beauty products. Watch for major changes in store layouts and practices going forward. Macy’s also owns its own chain of 158 free-standing cosmetics stores called Bluemercury (Macy’s acquired Bluemercury, a chain of makeup, skincare and spa services stores in 2015 which Macy’s has since expanded). 10) Up and Coming Independent Beauty

Products Firms Snapped Up by Major Players Top beauty firms such as Estee Lauder, L’Oreal and Coty are hunting for popular startups to acquire, in order to boost revenue and enhance customer perceptions of these well known, traditional brands. For example, Estee Lauder paid about $1 billion for Canadian skincare and makeup firm DECIEM (the parent company of The Ordinary and Shiseido) in February 2021, after spending $1.45 billion for Too Faced, a hip cosmetics brand with products such as Better Than Sex mascara, Hangover primer and Born This Way foundation in 2016. Also, in 2018, Procter & Gamble purchased First Aid Beauty for $250 million. June 2019 saw the acquisition of Tatcha by Unilever for $500 million. Meanwhile, S.C. Johnson & Son acquired three personal care brands in 2019, Coola, Sun Bum and Baby Bum. The big beauty companies are well aware of the competition from the little guys. Small brands are picking billions of dollars in annual revenues that otherwise would have gone to the major manufacturers. 11) Social Media Spurs Beauty Products

Sales Among Millennials and Teens McKinsey & Co. reports that as much as 50% of beauty and personal care product purchasing decisions by millennials and teenagers are based on word-of-mouth, or perhaps better said, word-ofdevice. Photographs taken with smartphones are also redefining the way cosmetics are made and marketed. Millennials are constantly snapping pictures of themselves alone or with friends, and studying how they look in those photos. Makeup and problemsolving skincare products tailored to “selfies” is a major trend for cosmetics companies. CoverGirl, for example, offers Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation. Designed to reflect the light of the phone’s camera flash, the company tried 43 different versions of the

www.plunkettresearch.com

formula, which was tested with selfies shot using iPhones, before settling on the finished product. Avon’s True Color Bold lipstick is another selfietested product, which packs 50% more pigment than traditional lipsticks. The result is color that matches that shown on product packaging. Another draw for millennials is products that are considered green, or eco-friendly. True Botanicals, for example, is a small, independently produced line of skin and hair care products that went so far as to have its brand certified as Made Safe, a U.S. certification program overseen by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Nontoxic Certified. True Botanicals also markets to millennials through online sales combined with online skin consultations with beauty experts. Other nontoxic based startups include Supergoop, Evolved by Nature and Drunk Elephant. Fast Beauty Firms Speed Up Cosmetic Product Launches A number of startups have launched to target the young “fast beauty” market (somewhat similar to the “fast fashion” strategy where inexpensive new clothing styles are released by apparel makers on a very rapid schedule). Makeup Revolution is a London-based company that develops low-priced cosmetics and other beauty items and delivers them to retailers in as little as 12 weeks. Big beauty companies typically require at least six months at least to develop and release new products. TAM Beauty Ltd. has a similar fast-beauty model. Be for Beauty, founded in 2017, is 25%-owned by consumer products giant Unilever. Thanks to an influx of money from Unilever, Be for Beauty’s plans included 25 new products or brand over three years. Social media sites enable fast beauty firms to speed up the announcement and launch of their new products. Online sales enable them to rush delivery via directto-consumer sales, but some of these products are also targeted at retail store shelves. A short list of young celebrities is using social media such as Instagram to promote their beauty products. Anastasia Soare, the billionaire founder of Anastasia of Beverly Hills, uses Instagram to post video tutorials for her products. Kylie Jenner of the Kardashian family is in her early twenties and regularly uses social media to market Kylie Cosmetics.

Plunkett Research, Ltd. 12) Beauty Products Firms Target Unique

Needs of Diverse Consumers Worldwide A number of major beauty product manufacturers are developing and marketing lines for specific ethnicities. For example, Estee Lauder offers the Osiao branded product line for Chinese women. The line was developed at a Shanghai research institute and manufactured in Japan, the line uses Chinese ingredients such as ginseng. German consumer goods giant Henkel AG offers Gliss shampoo for ventilation problems faced by Muslim women who must wear head scarves. Unilever makes similar products under its Sunsilk brand. In the U.S., startup beauty products makers are focusing on the growing buying power of Hispanic consumers as well as the needs of immigrants of a wide variety of skin tone. Also, Urban Skin Rx was founded to provide skin-care products especially designed for African American women. Its products have been marketed in Target stores as well as online. Startup Proven uses a three-minute online quiz to analyze factors such as heritage, lifestyle and environment to customize a customer’s skincare. 13) Regis Dominates the Hair Salon

Business/Product Sales Enhance Salon Profits The Coronavirus pandemic saw a dramatic decline in business at hair salons and barber shops. Many were forced to close for several months. The industry saw a dramatic rebound in business when widespread use of vaccines has taken place and infection counts drop. Regis Corporation is a dominant player in the hair salon business segment. It is a global owner, operator, franchiser and consolidator of hair and retail product salons. The company owns, franchises or holds ownership interests in more than 5,500 worldwide locations. Primarily, Regis’ locations consist of companyowned and franchised salons, but also is comprised of a few locations in which it maintains a noncontrolling ownership of less than 100%. The company’s salons provide affordable haircuts, styling, coloring and waxing services. The shops also sell hair care products. Salons operate under the trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, SmartStyle, Supercuts, Cost Cutters and First Choice Haircutters. In addition, Regis maintains ownership interests in Empire Education Group, Inc. (55.1%), which provides cosmetology education in North America. In November 2020, Regis announced that

www.plunkettresearch.com

it was making significant progress in its transition to being a fully franchised model, having sold and converted more than 1,055 company-owned salons to its franchise portfolio during the previous 12 months. Many hair salons are part of national chains or franchise chains. Mass market leaders include Great Clips, Fantastic Sams, Supercuts and Sport Clips. Hair stylists often rent their spaces from salon operators on a revenue sharing basis, typically with 50% to 60% of each hair service fee going to the salon, with the balance (plus tips) retained by the stylist. Hair salons generate revenue not only from services such as haircuts, colors, blowouts and other treatments, but also from the sale of upscale hair care products including shampoos, conditioners and styling gels. The best practice in hair salons is to generate 40% of total revenues from product sales, with the balance from services. Most salons offer good commissions to their hair operators for product sales. However, few salons manage to achieve the 40% goal, despite the fact that they can vastly enhance net profits through product sales. A small number of hair care product manufacturers specialize in developing products just for the hair salon market. Several mass-market hair product firms also offer professional salon product lines. Leaders in this field include John Paul Mitchell Systems, L’Oréal Professional and Coty Professionals. These firms tend to build strong relationships with stylists and salon operators by staging professional educational retreats, styling and color competitions and product demonstrations. 14) Blowout Bars Proliferate

Blowout bars are hair salons that provide shampooing, drying and styling services called blowouts. No other hair services, such as haircuts or coloring, are offered, which significantly simplifies management of the business. While some U.S. states still require licensing for blow-out technicians that carry education requirements that are daunting, others are requiring lower education hours. A few states do not require a license at all, as long as the technician is not cutting or coloring hear. This trend is likely to increase. The leading U.S. blowout company is Drybar, LLC (www.drybar.com), which had 158 locations throughout the U.S. and in Canada as of early 2023. Stylists are available for off-site special events such as parties and weddings with one stylist able to handle about four people per hour. Clients may also book Drybar salons for private events. In addition,

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Drybar branded products, including shampoos, conditioners, styling products, blow dryers, curling irons, brushes, combs and hair accessories, are available for sale online and at select retail stores such as Nordstrom and Ulta. Seven-day-per-weekhours are extended, meaning most locations open at 7 a.m. on weekdays and stay open until 8 or 9 p.m. to accommodate busy women’s schedules. In 2020, Drybar sold its line of products to Helen of Troy Limited for $255 million. During 2021, WellBiz Brands, Inc. acquired the franchisor rights for Drybar shops, becoming a franchisor for 141 Drybar shops. Drybar LLC continues to operate more than 80 Drybar shops. Growing numbers of copycat blowout bars have opened in recent years. Many offer memberships with discounts for repeat visits. The Coronavirus pandemic caused many blowout bars to temporarily close. 15) Natural/Organic Consumer Products

Attract Greater Market Share The growing interest in natural and/or organic ingredients in consumer products is very similar to the interest in foods that are organic or GMO-free, gluten-free or vegan. They may include activated charcoal (in which charcoal is treated with a gas that renders it highly porous and able to absorb compounds and chemicals) or cacay oil (the oil from the cacay nut that is said help fight signs of aging). The Organic Trade Association reported that organic personal care products accounts for only 1.25% of total U.S. sales. (The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines organic personal care products as those containing at least 70% organic ingredients.) A recent survey conducted by consulting firm CEB found that almost 50% of shoppers regularly look at personal care product ingredient labels. Older Millennials and Gen Xers are the most likely to read labels. Organic products generally sell at higher prices than those with traditional ingredients. A growing number of consumers tout organic products as having superior texture or performance. Other proponents cite the health benefits of avoiding chemicals and potentially poisonous treatments used as stabilizers to prolong shelf life. There is currently no research data to support these claims. The organic trend plays particularly well in a segment of the population referred to as “LOHAS,” that is, consumers who attempt to practice a lifestyle of health and sustainability. This is a well-educated group with significant purchasing power that would

www.plunkettresearch.com

be interested in products such as hybrid automobiles, renewable or high-efficiency energy systems, and “Fair Trade” coffee. 16) Organic Food Sales Continue Global

Growth/Locally Sourced Foods and Farm to Table Increase in Popularity The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) reported that organic food sales reached almost $132.25 billion worldwide in 2021 (latest data available), up from approximately $100 billion in 2018. The term “organic” typically refers to crops grown without pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Food that bears an organic label must meet criteria set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Specifically, these products must be at least 95% free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, irradiation (germkilling radiation) or genetically modified ingredients. The U.S. is the largest single market for organic food and beverages, and reached a new high of $63 billion in sales in 2021 according to the Organic Trade Association. While the organic sector has been growing rapidly, it remains a relatively small segment of the total food industry. Growth has been led largely by small companies that were able to expand over the years, and later were often acquired by food industry giants. Cereal company Kashi, acquired by Kellogg, is an excellent example. More recently, major food and drink companies are experimenting with launching their own organic brands. Coca-Cola acquired Honest Tea for example, which later launched the Organic Honest Fizz line of soft drinks. Simple Truth is Kroger’s in-store brand of organic foods. Foods certified as “natural”, as opposed to organic, may have been exposed to artificial fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, irradiation and genetically engineered ingredients. With regard to meat and dairy products, the organic label requires that livestock be fed only organic grains or grasses, and that they be free from growth hormones and antibiotics. Livestock also must have access to the outdoors. Internet Research Tip: Organic Foods The Organic Trade Association, www.ota.com, offers a wealth of information about the cultivation and sale of organic foods in North America. Organic foods generally sell at higher prices than traditionally grown foods. A growing number of

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

consumers, individuals and restaurant operators alike tout organic foods as having superior flavor and texture. Other proponents cite the health benefits of avoiding chemicals and potentially poisonous treatments used as pesticides. There is currently no research data to support these claims. The organic trend plays particularly well in a segment of the population referred to as “LOHAS,” that is, consumers who attempt to practice a lifestyle of health and sustainability. This is a well-educated group with significant purchasing power that would be interested in products such as hybrid automobiles, renewable or high-efficiency energy systems, and “Fair Trade” coffee. One trend in marketing organic produce in America is called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). These are membership-based clubs that are run by individual, local farms. Typically, for a set weekly fee, members receive a weekly batch of produce. For passionate consumers, this may be the best way to get the freshest-possible produce while having the greatest possible knowledge about how and where the produce was grown. Delivery methods vary widely. In some CSAs, members help to pick the produce at the farm itself, or they travel there to pick up their basket of produce. In more expensive memberships, members receive door-to-door delivery. Upscale CSAs may charge a substantial initiation fee, and virtually all of them limit the number of members. Local harvest markets are popping up in cities and towns across the U.S. Local Harvest, www.localharvest.org , is a web site that lists farmer’s markets, farms, CSAs, grocery/co-ops and more, including market schedules and locations. The site also has an online store offering CSA subscriptions, meats, produce, seeds, coffee and teas, among other things. Organic products may have limited shelf life as they contain no preservatives. Consequently, they must be picked and/or packed when they reach optimum freshness and quickly shipped to nearby markets to avoid spoilage. While supermarkets, such as Whole Foods Market (now owned by Amazon), that position themselves as sellers of more natural foods had the early lead in organic food sales, the growing consumer interest in organic products quickly inspired competition from major chains such as Kroger. Large sections of organic produce are now common in everyday supermarkets. Major grocery store chains such as Kroger, Walmart, Whole Foods and Costco are enthusiastic

www.plunkettresearch.com

sellers of organic foods, and they are large enough to contract with multiple organic farmers. Since they operate store locations throughout the U.S. and beyond, they are therefore close enough to suppliers to take advantage of the small window of opportunity before organic products spoil. Major food producers who have long sold traditionally grown products are jumping on the lucrative organic bandwagon. General Mills, for example, sells Cascadian Farm and Muir Glen organic brands throughout the U.S. Organics are also crossing oceans. Take French food company Danone SA, for example. Its Stonyfield Farm yogurt is made from milk from dairies in France and Ireland and then shipped to North America as well as to retailers in Europe. SPOTLIGHT: Earthbound Farm One of the largest growers of organic produce in the U.S. is Earthbound Farm, www.ebfarm.com, founded in California’s Carmel Valley in 1984 by two young entrepreneurs who moved cross-country from Manhattan. It now has farm locations totaling almost 45,000 acres, primarily in California, Arizona and Mexico. One of its mainstay products is salad greens, and it processes 30 million salad servings each week. Its products are available in 75% of America’s supermarkets nationwide. The company is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms. 17) Consumers Drive a Revolution in the

Food Industry, Demanding Fresher, More Natural Foods, Creating both Pain and Opportunities As younger generations such as Generation Y (Millennials) become more important segments in the consumer base, evolving consumer attitudes are having a very profound effect on the food products industry, driving change, making new demands and creating new opportunities for those companies that are nimble enough to take advantage of them. Consumers are worried about nutrition, the source of ingredients, the effects of chemical ingredients on their bodies, and in particular, the safety or health values of the food they give to their children. In nations and regions containing middle to upperincome consumers, this is nothing less than a food industry revolution in the making. Many new companies have arisen to take advantage of these trends, and they have often seen tremendous growth. Amy’s Kitchen, for example, a relatively new company focused on frozen and canned dishes, makes products positioned as organic

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

and vegetarian, and sometimes “light & lean.” Packages contain symbols denoting certified kosher, soy free, lactose free, gluten free, light in sodium or low fat, depending on a particular item’s attributes. The company’s ingredients are non-GMO, which appeals to many consumers. Another example is Chobani, a pioneer in the making of Greek yogurt. This thick and creamy variety of yogurt is perceived as more natural and healthier than some other versions. Perhaps the most successful company focused on taking advantage of these trends is Hain Celestial. It has been rapidly acquiring smaller food companies that satisfy today’s consumer interests. This shift in consumer trends has been extremely hard on old-line food companies, ranging from McDonald’s, on the restaurant side, to Coca Cola on the beverages side and Kellogg, General Mills, Kraft and Heinz on the packaged foods side (where profit margins have historically been very low). Today, packaged food companies are in full combat mode, redoing recipes and reducing long ingredient lists and purchasing aggressive younger companies that better suit today’s trends, while attempting to evolve their marketing to appeal to the evolving interests of consumers. Many consumers prefer foods that do not include a high number of chemicals, flavorings and additives. Consequently, foods that feature fewer ingredients overall are highlighting that fact on packaging, instead of burying ingredient lists under mandated nutritional information (e.g., CB’s Nuts Peanut Butter with one ingredient only). Kraft, for example, is removing synthetic colors and artificial preservatives from its mac and cheese products. A long line of restaurants and food companies have announced that they are migrating to using chicken and other meats that have not been raised on feed that uses certain antibiotics. Tyson has announced it will no longer feed its chickens with human antibiotics. Hershey is removing artificial ingredients from its milk chocolates. This isn’t merely a trend, it’s a mass migration of packaged food firms struggling to plug big holes in their leaking ships. A major problem, however, is cost. Organic ingredients can be much more expensive than traditional items. Likewise, non-GMO may have broad appeal, but genetically-modified seeds can lead to agriculture that has higher output and much lower cost per unit of food. Artificial preservatives can extend shelf life, and thus reduce wastage and total costs to the consumer. The end result may be more packaged and restaurant foods with more natural

www.plunkettresearch.com

ingredients in America and other high-income nations, where consumers can better afford them. Meanwhile, lower-income nations with large or rapidly expanding populations may have no choice but to rely heavily on genetically modified seeds as well as artificial ingredients and preservatives that result in lower prices. Consumer-Driven Trends in Food and Beverages 1) Reduced sugar content 2) A growing avoidance of artificial sweeteners 3) High demand for organically grown fruit, produce and grains 4) High demand for whole grains, “ancient” grains and heirloom-style vegetables 5) Demand for humane treatment of farm animals (cage-free chickens, free-range grazing animals) 6) Growing demand for dairy-free food and drink substitutes, such as soy milk and almond milk 7) Demand for locally sourced foods and farm-totable produce 8) A continuing backlash against genetically modified crops and ingredients 9) Demand for fresher foods in general, with fewer chemical additives such as preservatives 10) Demand for craft beers, artisanal alcoholic beverages and gourmet wines 11) Increased market for healthier snacks, “functional” foods or foods with nutritional benefits 12) Lower consumption of soft drinks, with waters, teas and juices as alternatives 13) Strong demand for gourmet coffees and teas 14) Reduced demand for highly processed, packaged foods (e.g., more consumption of home-cooked oatmeal instead of packaged cereals) 15) Reduced interest in restaurant menu items that appear to be based on highly processed, unhealthy, frozen or chemically treated ingredients 16) High demand for low-carbohydrate menu items in restaurants 17) Growing avoidance of certain foods, such as gluten, peanuts, shellfish or soy, due to perceived intolerance or allergies 18) Demand for increase food safety procedures Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. 18) Market for CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of more than a hundred phytocannabinoids naturally occurring in the

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

resinous flower of cannabis. CBD does not have the same psychoactivity as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD extracted from marijuana remains a Schedule I Controlled Substance, and is not approved as a prescription drug, dietary supplement or allowed for interstate commerce in the U.S. CBD derived from hemp (with 0.3% THC or lower) was delisted as a federally schedule substance by the 2018 Farm Bill. CBD cab be supplied for consumption in various forms: CBD Oil containing only CBD as the active ingredient (with no THC), a full-plant hemp extract oil, capsules, dried cannabis or as a prescription liquid. Clinical research on CBD has included preliminary studies of anxiety, cognition, movement disorders and pain, as well as for epilepsy. In America, the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 had the practical effect of stopping the growing of hemp, although hemp had been used for centuries as a source of fiber for use in ropes and other materials. Later, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 listed hemp, as well as marijuana, as Schedule I level narcotics due to the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The legalization of certain uses of marijuana on the state level in several U.S. states in recent years, plus the federal 2018 Farm Bill, brought the hemp industry back to life. The Farm Bill acknowledged that hemp contains only tiny amounts of THC. The 2018 delisting of cannabidiol (CBD) as a controlled substance by the U.S. government has helped to create potential for a growing market for a number of CBD products. Similar delistings or legalization of CBD and marijuana in the past few years in Canada and in other European countries has created a situation with great potential for the production and distribution of CBD oil and other CBD products internationally. CBD does not have the psychoactive effects of marijuana, as it contains only trace amounts of THC, which is a powerful agent found in large quantities in marijuana. CBD is thought by some people to have anti-inflammatory and calming effects, on both people and pets. While the CBD market in the U.S. looks set to continue to rise, some caution should be taken when evaluating the potential: many of the purported health benefits of CBD oil are not clinically proven, and the FDA is likely to order some firms to cease making unproven health claims. The FDA approved an anti-seizure drug called Epidolex, which contains CBD. Formal clinical trials are underway studying the potential effectiveness of CBD for a wide variety of conditions, with a particular focus on epilepsy. The completion of such

www.plunkettresearch.com

trials and formal FDA approval of related drugs typically requires several years. In the U.S., market estimates on CBD products vary. Brightfield Group reported CBD sales of $5.3 billion in 2021, up 15% over 2020. The 2018 removal of CBD from the controlled substances list not only opened the door to CBD products but also provides participants in this industry with legitimate access to banking, social media and traditional advertising, as well as partnerships with larger organizations. Rapid growth in CBD products may extend into a number of industries. Meanwhile, CBD consumer products have gone mainstream, and are now available in many major supermarkets and drug stores. 19) CBD Oil and Hemp Cultivation,

Production and Distribution Challenges While it is derived from cannabis/hemp plants, part of CBD oil’s recent growth is that the substance does not have psychoactive effects on the body the way THC does. In fact, CBD oil can be extracted from industrial hemp which has virtually no THC. CBD oil can be placed in a number of edible products, it can be inhaled in containers used for ecigarettes, or made into an aerosol for oral ingestion similar to oral antiseptic sprays. Currently, one of the major issues facing the production and distribution of CBD based products is the relative novelty of the market. Before the 2018 delisting of CBD as a controlled substance, hemp production for CBD extraction was generally small scale and isolated to states with legalized marijuana. The localized nature of production, combined with a decades long ban on industrial hemp growth in the U.S. that also ended in 2018, means large scale production and distribution networks may have been lagging consumer interest and product demand. Growing hemp is a labor-intensive activity. It requires significant investments of capital, time and manual labor on the part of farmers. 20) The Future of CBD

The future of the CBD market in the U.S. looks promising even if hurdles exist along the production chain. A 2019 Gallup poll indicated that 14% of Americans use CBD products, with the highest usage amongst 18-29-year-olds. In addition to human consumption, CBD products are also popular with pet owners for a number of pet ailments, as many people think it is not only calming but also relieves pain and inflammation. Given the America’s large pet

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

population and generational shift towards marijuana and hemp products, the CBD oil industry has good potential. While the retailing of CBD products started out in small specialty stores and booths at fairs and public gatherings, major chain stores, such a supermarkets and drug stores, have added CBD displays. This will intensify retail competition, and also may drive down retail prices, as long as there is no shortage of supply. This availability in mass market retailers also has the effect of creating national brands for major CBD manufacturers. Perhaps one of the biggest threats to the CBD oil market is the relative lack of medical proof behind product claims. With the exception of effectively treating seizures, many of the health claims matched to CBD oil are anecdotal or unproven. However, lack of medical proof has done little to hinder products, services, and trends in the wellness industry in general, therefore, the CBD oil sector may have little to fear. Lack of regulation in CBD oil quality is also another area for concern with CBD oil products that could come back to haunt the industry if not addressed. As of early 2021, formal clinical trials were underway in America for the use of CBD tablets for treating Coronavirus pulmonary infection, panic attack-related fear, diabetic peripheral neuropathy of the feet and joint arthritis among other ailments.

Chapter 4 THE CONSUMER 200: WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN Includes Indexes by Company Name, Industry & Location The companies chosen to be listed in PLUNKETT’S CONSUMER PRODUCTS, COSMETICS, HAIR & PERSONAL SERVICES INDUSTRY ALMANAC comprise a unique list. THE CONSUMER 200 were chosen specifically for their dominance in the many facets of the consumer products industry in which they operate. Complete information about each firm can be found in the “Individual Profiles,” beginning at the end of this chapter. These profiles are in alphabetical order by company name. THE CONSUMER 200 companies are from all parts of the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia/Pacific and beyond. THE CONSUMER 200 includes companies that are deeply involved in the technologies, services and trends that keep the entire industry forging ahead. Simply stated, THE CONSUMER 200 contains the largest, most successful, fastest growing firms in consumer products and related industries in the world. To be included in our list, the firms had to meet the following criteria: 1) Generally, these are corporations based in the U.S., however, the headquarters of many firms are located in other nations. 2) Prominence, or a significant presence, in consumer products, services, equipment and

supporting fields. (See the following Industry Codes section for a complete list of types of businesses that are covered). 3) The companies in THE CONSUMER 200 do not have to be exclusively in the consumer products or services field. 4) Financial data and vital statistics must have been available to the editors of this book, either directly from the company being written about or from outside sources deemed reliable and accurate by the editors. A small number of companies that we would like to have included are not listed because of a lack of sufficient, objective data.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Amazing Lash Franchise, LLC provides eyelash extension services using the company's patented eyelash extension products developed by founders Jessica and Edward Le of Houston, Texas. The franchise offers a membership model for eyelash maintenance services at its trademarked Amazing Lash Studio locations. Lash extensions make eyelashes look longer, fuller and thicker, and are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They come in four proprietary styles used to customize an individual's preference and look. Their curve and finish offer a natural look and vary in length and thickness. Stylists conduct a consultation on a client's first visit to discuss desired look, and also complete a lash health evaluation to assess the strength and condition of the individual's own eyelashes. Care and maintenance instructions are provided to each wearer for aftercare purposes, which further extends the life of the lashes.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Drunk Elephant, LLC develops, produces and sells skincare products. The Drunk Elephant moniker is rooted in a myth that says elephants love to eat the fruit that has fallen from Marula trees, and once eaten, fermentation occurs inside their bellies, causing the elephants to become drunk. Virgin Marula oil can be found throughout the company's product line. It is an oil that Drunk Elephant believes is superior because of its high content of fatty acids and antioxidants. Overall, the firm's products contain six primary ingredients that help balance a range of skin issues long-term, including oily, sensitive, mild rosacea and visible pores. Drunk Elephant products contain both synthetic and natural ingredients. All the ingredients are easily absorbable and recognized by the skin. The Drunk Elephant portfolio of products are primarily categorized as skin care, hair care and body care. The firm also offers on-the-go mini packages for travelers or for trial purposes, as well as midisized packaged products and gifts. Products are sold in retail stores in North America, Australia, Europe and Asia, as well as online. Drunk Elephant operates as a subsidiary of Shisheido Company Limited.

DS Healthcare Group, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, develops proprietary technologies and products for hair care and personal care needs. The firm does business as DS Laboratories and its products are primarily sold under the DS Laboratories brand. DS Healthcare is a leading innovator of the Liposome Technology, a carrier agent designed to enhance the active ingredients in its products; and the Nanosome Technology, a delivery vehicle designed to infuse active compounds into target cells for better efficiency in its products. DS Healthcare groups its products into two categories: hair care and personal care. Within the haircare segment the products are further divided into thinning hair care and hair care. Thinning hair care products include Revita highperformance hair stimulating shampoos; Revita COR, a highperformance hair stimulating conditioner; and Spectral, a women's anti-aging therapy for thinning hair. The other hair care products include Dandrene, an antidandruff shampoo; and Nia, a restructuring shampoo and conditioner that repairs split ends and infuses hair with moisture without stripping hair of color, body or fullness. The firm's personal care products include: Spectral Lash, an advanced bio-peptides product designed to grow and increase the length of eyelash hair; Keramene, a body hair minimizer; and Vexum, a neck contour for minimizing the appearance of double chins. DS Healthcare introduced OxO biodegradable plastic packaging made with a blend of pro-degradent additive. This additive causes the molecular structure of plastic to break down when exposed to heat or sunlight, and will eventually break down to the point where it can be digested by microorganisms. DS Healthcare operates as a subsidiary of Medilogistics, LLC.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Endoca BV is a producer and distributer of cannabidiol (CBD)based products derived from organic, non-GMO industrial hemp plants. The company takes inspiration from traditional medical practices that incorporate cannabis and hemp plants for treating ailments. Endoca produces a number of CBDbased products, including topical creams, extracts, suppositories, edibles and capsules, and dog friendly CBD oil. Endoca uses a cold manufacturing process to reproduce a similar chemical composition in its oils to that which is found in the original hemp plant, which aids in the healing of the human body and the maintenance of good health. After harvesting the plants, a CO2 extraction process is used to produce high-grade hemp oil. The company's hemp is produced in northern Europe. In addition to its product line, the firm engages in activities to expand CBD access and education and strives to make its products as commonplace as everyday staple foods such as salt. Endoca offers an affiliate program in which members earn commissions on every sale they've referred, as well as rewards for all sales made by their returning customers within a 60-day period. Endoca also cooperates with businesses and delivers CBD concentrates in wholesale. The hemp extracts created by the Endoca can be divided into different categories, based on the businesses' manufacturing process.

A real estate team works with potential owners to ensure the right location and will also work with the property's landlord to ensure the location meets the requirements to support a Phenix salon. The company tries to move qualified owner applicants through the whole process in 60-to-90 days. During 2022, Phenix Salon opened its first international salon location in Manchester, U.K.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Markwins International Corporation, develops, markets, manufactures and distributes innovative, premium-priced cosmetic products for the mass market channel. Each product is hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive skin and eyes, and created without more than 500 known harsh ingredients and skin irritants found in other personal care items. Physicians Formula products include face powders, bronzers, concealers, blushes, foundations, eye shadows, eyeliners, brow makeup and mascaras. The firm focuses on addressing skin imperfections through a problemsolution approach, rather than focusing on changing fashion trends. One of its core areas of expertise is color correction, which involves the use of opposite colors to neutralize skin imperfections, such as under-eye circles, red blemishes, scars or other skin discolorations. Physicians Formula divides the face make up category into face powders, bronzers, concealers, face color (blush) and foundation/tinted moisturizers. Face powders can be used over foundation or alone, to minimize shine, discolorations and imperfections, creating a smoother, more even skin tone. Bronzers enhance skin tone to provide a sun kissed look without the damaging effects of the sun. Its concealer products include gentle coverage and active-ingredient-based coverage. In addition, Physicians Formula has a range of yellow, green and flesh tone concealers aimed at covering and correcting skin imperfections, from dark under-eye circles to red blemishes, scars, birthmarks or post-cosmetic surgery discolorations. The eye makeup category consists of four categories: eye shadows, eyeliners, brow makeup and mascara.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Rodan & Fields, LLC, branded as Rodan + Fields and R+F, is a dermatology-inspired skin care brand and ecommerce marketer. The company does not operate from department stores, but aims to provide a close alternative to a professional skin care experience outside of a medical office, while also encouraging entrepreneurial opportunity via direct-selling as a representative. Therefore, Rodan + Fields products are available through independent consultants, as well as through the company's www.rodanandfields.com website. The firm's REDEFINE skin care line includes a daily cleansing mask, pore minimizing toner, facial cream and defensive treatment cream. Formulas can be personalized through a proprietary solution tool. The REVERSE line addresses a range of skin discoloration issues such as dullness, dark marks and age spots. UNBLEMISH addresses problems with acne. SOOTHE is designed for sensitive skin. ESSENTIALS offers everyday dermatologic necessities such as sunscreen, body moisturizer, sunless tanning foam, daily vitamins, lips balms and makeup remover. SPOTLESS is a two-step system formulated for teen and young adult skin experiencing acne blemishes and breakouts. Additional products include hydration serums, travel packages, mascara, a micro-dermabrasion paste (scrub), as well as mineral-based makeup and related brushes. A minimal purchase of a business portfolio is all that is required to enroll as a direct-selling representative/consultant. Rodan & Fields has operations in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Japan. During 2022, Rodan announced the debut of its new haircare line, featuring proprietary technology and a scalp-first approach to its new products, which include shampoos, conditioners and a curl cream.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Zoom Room, Inc. operates dog training franchises. The company's training classes are designed to encourage dogs to build confidence and success as they master new behaviors in simple, step-by-step processes. Zoom Room only utilizes positive dog training methods, which the entire owner family can practice at home. The firm claims that it does not train dogs, but the owners in the dog's life instead. Owners are actively engaged in the dog's training, working as a team to communicate more effectively with their dogs. Zoom Room's training classes are flexible, with a personalized approach in which dog owners train at their own pace and graduate to the next level when both dog and owner are ready. Dog training classes are categorized into puppy classes, obedience training, dog agility and enrichment/mastering skills. Training is also provided for therapy dogs. Zoom Rooms are climatecontrolled and ADA compliant. In addition, Zoom Room franchises have indoor dog park/playrooms for off-leash socialization, including dog birthday parties, indoor dog parks, supervised socializing, play groups, doggy disco and more. Dog supplies are also offered for sale, including raw and organic food, toys, collars/leashes, bedding, grooming tools and training gear. Zoom Room dog agility franchises primarily have a small footprint of about 3,000 square feet, with minimal insurance coverage needed and an initial investment between approximately $271,000 and $408,000.

CBD cab be supplied for consumption in various forms: CBD Oil containing only CBD as the active ingredient with no THC), a full-plant hemp extract oil, capsules, dried cannabis or as a prescription liquid. Clinical research on CBD has included preliminary studies of anxiety, cognition, movement disorders and pain, as well as for epilepsy.

Apps: Short for applications, apps are small software programs designed to run primarily on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Also known as “mobile apps.” Baby Boomer: Generally refers to people born from 1946 to 1964. In the U.S., the initial number of Baby Boomers totaled about 78 million.

DX: See "Digital Transformation (DX)." Echo Boomers: See "Generation Y." Ecosystem: In online platforms, an ecosystem is a business strategy wherein numerous complimentary services and tools are offered that create high levels of convenience for the user, who only has to login once to conduct multiple tasks.

Consequently, critical processes around the product need to be adjusted during its lifecycle, including pricing, advertising, promotion, distribution and packaging. Quantified Self: An evolving concept that refers to the use of electronic devices and electronic communications to gather, record and transmit personal information. An extreme practice of quantified self would be a person who uses a wearable, digital camera to record his surroundings 24/7, and who blogs, tweets or posts to social media his daily activities on a continuous basis. The most practical application of quantified self will most likely be in mobile health, (the personal health Internet). Examples include the wearing of wireless heart monitors, sleep monitors or pedometers that record daily health and exercise data in order to manage health problems or improve fitness. Return on Equity (ROE): A measurement of net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Also called the rate of return on the ownership interest. It is a vital indicator of the quality of a company’s operations. RoHS Compliant: A directive that restricts the total amount of certain dangerous substances that may be incorporated in electronic equipment, including consumer electronics. Any RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers. For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component. Certain items

of military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance. SIC: Standard Industrial Classification. See “Industry Code.” Smart Home: A home whose devices and systems have been connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) for control of systems such as lightning, airconditioning, locks and safety. Often controlled via mobile apps. Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC): Refers to four of the fastest growing trends in computing and data technologies. Subsidiary, Wholly-Owned: A company that is wholly controlled by another company through stock ownership. Supply Chain: The complete set of suppliers of goods and services required for a company to operate its business. For example, a manufacturer's supply chain may include providers of raw materials, components, custom-made parts and packaging materials. Tablet: A mobile computing device that offers similar functionality as a smartphone, except with a larger viewing area and a more complex processor. However, some tablets do not have the ability to make phone calls. Examples include the Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy tablet. Tablets are designed to interact with the user primarily through a touchscreen rather than a keyboard. While tablets offer many PClike functions, there is no firm agreement as to whether they should be counted as part of the PC market. TIME: Telecommunications, Information Technology, Media and Electronics. Trade Secrets: Proprietary formulas, research, manuals, methods of operation and concepts owned by a business. Generally trade secrets are carefully guarded by the owner and are shared only on a needto-know basis. Trademark (Trade Mark): A name or phrase that has been registered by a company or organization for its exclusive use. A "TM" indicates that a trademark has been applied for (or that the owner intends to protect the trademark) but is still pending, while ®

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

indicates it has been processed and is legally upheld. A trademark may or may not include an accompanying, distinctive design or font for the word or phrase. Trademarks must be renewed on a regular basis with the appropriate regulatory authorities. In America, trademarks are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. There are also cooperative, international trademark agreements and agencies. User Interface (UI): The software and hardware that enable humans to interact with machines: typically a great user interface is a key differentiator for companies. For example, Windows is a user interface that enables users to access computers. USP: Unique Selling Point, or Unique Selling Proposition. A vital factor that sets a product or service apart from its competition. This is a key thought that should be communicated clearly throughout a company's advertising and marketing communications. A marketing campaign may stress several USPs, such as price, design and quality of a product. Value Added Tax (VAT): A tax that imposes a levy on businesses at every stage of manufacturing based on the value it adds to a product. Each business in the supply chain pays its own VAT and is subsequently repaid by the next link down the chain: hence, a VAT is ultimately paid by the consumer, being the last link in the supply chain, making it comparable to a sales tax. Generally, VAT only applies to goods bought for consumption within a given country: export goods are exempt from VAT, and purchasers from other countries taking goods back home may apply for a VAT refund. Vendor Relationship Management (VRM): A process whereby consumers can use online tools and other means to manage their relationships with the firms (“vendors”) that they buy from. An example is the ability of a consumer to set personal preferences in an online account. Some observers expect VRM to rapidly evolve into sophisticated technology that enables the consumer to be in control of the buyerseller cycle while enjoying maximum-possible choices and lowest-possible prices. Voice of the Customer (VoC): A market research concept for determining the needs, likes and dislikes of buyers and potential buyers of goods and services.

VRM: See “Vendor Relationship Management (VRM).” Web 3.0: See “Semantic Web" and "Web3." Web of Things: See “Internet of Things (IoT).” Web3: Not to be confused with the Semantic Web (which has, from time-to-time in the past, been called Web 3.0), a version of the world wide web based on blockchain technology. Also known as Web 3.0. WFH: Work from home. World Trade Organization (WTO): One of the only globally active international organizations dealing with the trade rules between nations. Its goal is to assist the free flow of trade goods, ensuring a smooth, predictable supply of goods to help raise the quality of life of member citizens. Members form consensus decisions that are then ratified by their respective parliaments. The WTO’s conflict resolution process generally emphasizes interpreting existing commitments and agreements, and discovers how to ensure trade policies to conform to those agreements, with the ultimate aim of avoiding military or political conflict. WoT: Web of Things. See “Internet of Things.” WTO: See “World Trade Organization (WTO).” Z-Wave: A wireless mesh networking protocol popular in home automation. It competes with Zigbee.
