Amazon Pharmacy 💊 steps up the pace: Same Day delivery of Rx pharmaceuticals will be available in half of the US, by 2025. 🛒💨 Amazon's history in the health segment hasn't only been successful. However, adding prescription medication into the same-day facilities around major US towns shows that they have far from given up. Now, Amazon is going full on into the pharmacy business, by tackling both: 🏙 Major towns as high density and high income areas with a high pharmacy density (and hence strong competition) 🏕 Underserved rural areas with a low pharmacy density Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy have been making great progress in eCom lately, but they'll need to work hard to secure their share. This is going to stay interesting! ...and an interesting case study for Europe and other less advanced pharma eCom markets, in which Amazon is present. 📖 Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/enEz2KaH

📢 Big news affecting #eCommerce retail in the US this week. 🛒 The US, like Europe has seen a surge of incoming shipments from China from low-cost retailers such as #Shein and #Temu. These retailers have been able to avoid paying import duty by splitting shipments up and staying under the import duty threshold. 🚢 🛑 Now the Biden administration looks to apply tariffs to products sold by these retailers removing the 'de minimis' advantage they benefited from until now. ❓ What does this news mean? 💪 This is a move that looks to strengthen local retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, and GAP Inc. Furthermore, it could also forecast what regulations the Eurozone could apply to prevent two things: 🎁 1. low-cost goods from flooding the market 🌿 2. the environmental strain from splitting and shipping several parcels to avoid import duty levies Interested in reading more?

💲 Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway just invested $220 M+ in Ulta Beauty. 📰 💄What does this mean for the American beauty market? 📉 Although Ulta has been a serious beauty contender and a strong competitor to Sephora in North America, the retailer's stock has been on the decline in recent years. 🛍 The declining stock seen in a post-COVID economy indicates both the state of the beauty industry and Ulta's struggle to keep up its ~30% market share. ☘ The investment from BH is not only a sign of an approaching turnaround of the American beauty sector but also Ulta's potential to significantly increase its stronghold against Sephora which currently holds ~20% market share. 💪 🎯 For European beauty companies looking to partner with American retailers, this means you need a diversified eCommerce that takes offline strengths but more importantly eCom conversion capabilities into account. 🛒 🔗 News article linked in the first comment for those interested in reading more. #BeautySector #BusinessInsights #eCommerce #USA
