Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/20/2014 -- Riding the wave of consumer's rising confidence, direct selling posted a rather positive, and partly unexpected, performance in 2013. While this score is partially inflated by price increases (which affected the whole retailing landscape in 2013), it represented a significant positive confirmation for the channel, following two slightly negative years.

Competitive Landscape

Tupperware Belgium NV led the channel with a 23% value share in 2013, continuously taking advantage of the boom of both party plans and housewares.

Industry Prospects

Two factors are likely to prevent direct selling from seeing a positive performance over the forecast period: one is legislation, the other is the boom in Internet retailing. While companies and trade associations are lobbying for some of the legislative constraints to be removed (and are likely to succeed, especially as far as payment limits and payment delays are concerned), there is no realistic way to stop the success of Internet retailing. However, as most companies have become multi-players, adding Internet retailing to their selling channels, the boom of e-commerce is likely to more affect the direct selling channel in itself rather than the players involved.
