New measurement covers third-party sellers (3P) responsible for 68% of Amazon Health and Beauty sales, giving brands a more complete view of category growth
Chicago (September 28, 2026) — NielsenIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today announced the launch of Amazon third-party marketplace (commonly known as Amazon 3P) measurement for all Health & Beauty Care categories. By integrating Amazon third-party data into NIQ’s established retail measurement and existing data sets, including Amazon first-party data (1P), the enhanced offering delivers an expanded view of category performance and consumer purchasing behavior across online and brick-and-mortar channels.
The strategic launch addresses a critical measurement gap in one of retail’s fastest-evolving categories. Amazon is a major driver of Health & Beauty Care growth and is an indicator of emerging ingredient trends and consumer preferences. In the United States, third-party sellers on Amazon generated approximately $56 billion in Health and Beauty sales, representing 24% of tracked omnichannel category sales, according to NIQ data.* Without visibility into this activity, brands risk missing critical market signals that can shape competitive positioning, innovation strategies, and future growth.
“Amazon’s third-party marketplace is where many of today’s fastest-growing Health and Beauty brands gain traction, yet it has remained one of the industry’s largest measurement blind spots,” said Jacqueline Flam, Managing Director, Beauty and Health at NIQ. “By bringing Amazon 3P into NIQ measurement, brands can identify emerging competitors sooner, spot shifts in consumer demand earlier, and make more informed decisions around innovation, pricing, and growth.”
Key benefits of Amazon 3P data include:
- Gaining a more comprehensive view of the Health & Beauty Care landscape with visibility into individual products from Amazon third-party brands
- Identifying emerging brands and market opportunities earlier, before many brands reach physical retail shelves
- Staying ahead of evolving ingredient and product trends by monitoring marketplace activity at the item level
- Better understanding the factors driving category growth
This offering, which is now live and accessible via NIQ Discover platform, marks another milestone in NIQ’s broader Full View™ strategy. Earlier this year, NIQ announced Amazon third-party measurement as a foundational component of the forthcoming NIQ Beauty Channel, which is designed to deliver a unified understanding of performance across mass, prestige, specialty, and digital commerce. Through innovations like the Beauty Channel, NIQ continues to advance its offering of the Full View™ of Beauty for clients.
