Online Stores Outpaced Other Distribution Channels
- The online retail channel recorded the highest growth rate in Mexico's hair care market as the trend of online shopping is gaining momentum since it is convenient for consumers to buy products online, thereby avoiding crowded stores.

Also, the trend gained momentum, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, to purchase various hair care products online to save time.
- The hair care products available in online retail stores often have offers or discounts that allow customers to buy the product of their choice at a lower price when compared to those available in standalone stores. This has significantly enticed consumers to purchase hair care products from online channels during the review period.
- Some online retailers active in the Mexican market (Walmart, Amazon, Mercado Libre Mexico, Coppel, and Liverpool) constantly enhance their supply chain mechanisms to guarantee better service and delivery. These improvements include unique features like pre-booking, zero-contact delivery, gifting, and customization. As a result, e-commerce businesses have been steadily growing their market share in terms of sales and customer attractiveness on a large scale in Mexico.
