How do beauty groups play with category portfolio? and who is relying the most on fragrances? The biggest groups tend to have a relatively balanced portfolio with less than 50% of their brands active in the fragrance category. On the other hand, the smaller groups tend to be "pure fragrance players". Even Interparfums despite its admirable growth remains relatively small in comparison with other groups at parity number of brands. This seems to indicate that fragrance brands productivity tends to be lower compared to the one of brands operating mostly in other beauty categories, and/or that the bigger groups tend to focus on bigger and highly productive brands while divesting the others (strategy currently underway at Interparfums)... more on this in future posts. #beauty #beautyindustry #beautycompanies #fragrances #portfoliostrategy Note that the size of the spheres in the graph represent company revenues except for groups with less than 12 brands for which the information is not public (here represented though rough estimates).
