INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine, Travel Retail’s LookBook. In this edition we turn the spotlight on the exciting niche beauty category, as underlined by our cover story courtesy of L’Oréal Travel Retail and the Shu Uemura brand.
For this special report, we spoke to leading travel retailers about the emergence of this key sector, and heard the views of many brand owners about the impact that niche beauty is having on the category landscape.
As Millennial and Gen Z consumers generate increasing influence in the market and sustainability escalates in importance, niche beauty brands are taking an ever greater place in the channel.
This issue also houses a detailed report on last week’s annual Gebr. Heinemann press conference and our review of a remarkable 2022 for the Hamburg-based travel retailer and distributor.
We present the key talking points that last week’s event generated about the family-owned company’s direction, priorities and views from senior management on the shape of the wider channel.
We also review an important conference session at the recent IAADFS-organised Summit of the Americas, at which we discussed the future of airport concessions in North America in partnership with the Airport Restaurant & Retail Association.
Please enjoy this edition with our compliments. ✈
