E[acute accent]Summary

E[acute accent]Discounters continue to grow market share

E[acute accent]Discounters were the leading distribution channel in 2005, due mainly to its lower prices and wide array of products. Its share continues to rise as discounters expand their selections of cosmetics and toiletries products, and to improve their merchandising. This is an ongoing effort as evidenced by Target's decision to expand its bath & body department in March 2006 to introduce 20 exclusive lines from Europe and other parts of the world in an effort to create more of a boutique atmosphere and attract shoppers looking for "ambience".
