Larger Retailers Are Launching Their Own Beauty Brands, While the Luxury Fashion Market Gap Widens
Listrak’s 2026 Beauty and Fashion Benchmarks report, analyzing 130 billion emails and SMS messages from 1,000 e‑commerce clients, forecasts major shifts in retail. Larger retailers such as Gap and Old Navy are launching proprietary beauty brands to capture growth, while AI‑enabled conversational commerce and the end of universal free shipping reshape consumer interactions. The report highlights the rising importance of VIP personalization for the top 10 percent earners and a widening gap between luxury and discount markets, amplified by the surge in second‑hand sales and GLP‑1‑driven sizing changes. These trends signal a pivot toward data‑driven, personalized experiences across beauty and fashion.
