Key Trends in the Market

Direct selling, also known as direct to customer sales, is a non-retail form of sales strategy which enables sellers sell products directly to the consumers. This method shortens the supply chain and makes wholesalers and distributors redundant. Direct selling involves distribution channels such as online, home, and venues apart from store. It may utilise single-level marketing or multi-level marketing. 

 

  • Direct selling is emerging as a convenient selling option both for consumers and sellers. This can be attributed to the facility of testing and trying a product, consultation, increased discounts, personalised delivery, direct contact with the seller, and flexible hours for buying, among other advantages offered by direct selling.
  • The thriving e-commerce sector is playing a pivotal role in the direct selling market. Escalating purchasing power, easy setup of online stores, and a growing presence of consumers on the internet are expanding the opportunities for businesses to sell directly to buyers through online shops.
  • The growing product innovations in the field of wellness and personal care are leading to greater investments in marketing and advertising. This escalation in investments is expected to increase the direct selling demand in the forecast period.

 

Opportunities and Challenges

The increasing awareness about flexible sales models where involvement with resellers is redundant, is likely to offer lucrative opportunities to the direct selling market. This selling method requires little risk and less time while providing greater support for product innovations and extensive potential for profits. Hence, these factors are attracting a greater number of people towards starting direct selling. Growing availability of high-speed internet, increasing adoption of smartphones, and rapid penetration of smart gadgets in households is increasing the accessibility of products such as appliances, furniture, and electronic equipment, among others. However, lack of penetration of direct selling in the rural areas may pose as a challenge in the direct selling market.

Market Share by Type

The multi-level marketing segment, based on type, accounts for a healthy share of the direct selling market size. Multi-level marketing provides high income possibilities for a business in a low-risk way and can be easier to manage without all the responsibilities falling onto the direct owner. The increasing demand for high-quality goods and commodities are compelling network marketing companies to adopt multi-level marketing. In addition, multi-level marketing enables people to work independently without any need to hire extra workforce and can be managed without expensive inventory. 

 

Further, the cost of starting a multi-level marketing start-up is very low, which is another crucial driving factor of the direct selling market. Over the forecast period, the increasing inclination of young entrepreneurs towards starting a low capital and highly profitable business is expected to aid the segment’s growth. 

 

Market Share by Application

Based on application, the cosmetics segment accounts for a significant share in the direct selling market. The growth of this segment is being supported by the rising demand for high-quality cosmetic and beauty care products such as beauty devices, make-up, essential oils, moisturisers, skin and hair care products, and fragrances, among others. Over the forecast period, the market is expected to be driven by the increase in disposable income, rapid urbanisation, growing expansion of the major direct selling cosmetic companies, and growing innovations in cosmetics products. The increasing awareness pertaining to new product launches among the millennials and working professionals, coupled with the increasing women workforce is further providing impetus to the market for direct selling. 

 

Market Share by Region

In regional terms, Latin America has been offering lucrative opportunities to this market because of the emergence of direct selling as a crucial distribution channel across the emerging economies such as Mexico. The increasing number of female direct representatives in the country, owing to the greater earning opportunities for them, is a major driving factor of the market. 

 

Meanwhile, Europe accounts for a significant share in the market. The heavy foothold of major beauty product innovators and strong presence of a brand aware population are invigorating the direct selling market in the region.
