Beauty products include consumer goods like health supplements, health aids and beauty aids, ranging from make up to skin treatments. 

Economic projections in the e-commerce industry are estimated to increase to more than $635 billion. That figure represents e-commerce growth for 2022 in the United States.  As the nations’s economy continues to expand globally, especially here in North America, those numbers seem conservative for the e-commerce and fulfillment industry. 

Earlier this month, reported by J. Clement, Statista, total retail sales of physical goods, from online transactions in 2019, amounted to 343.15 billion dollars.  Projects for 2024 exceed 476.5 billion dollars.
