Bus/Financial - Retail / Rabattaktion in Drogeriesegment
German term or phrase: Drogeriesegment
Der Preisdruck im Drogeriesegment steigt: Bisher gab dm mit einer Dauerniedigpreis-Strategie die Preise vor. Doch nun versucht Aldi, dem Drogeriemarkt dm seine Stellung streitig zu machen.

Am I right in thinking that Drogeriesegment is merely a synonymn for Drogeriesektor?

Thanks!

English translation:health and beauty retail (segment)
Explanation:
An option - especially if for British English, where drugstore should definitely be avoided. I would avoid "chemist" for Drogerie(markt), especially in the context of dm and supermarkets like Aldi - they largely sell health and beauty products/toiletries, etc. (and definitely not prescription medication).

You could probably use sector/segment/market or just use h&b retail on its own.
