consolidation is rampant in the industry ...
'concentration' is the right French term for 'consolidation'.

: with "consolidation" as the correct rendering of *mouvement de concentration* However, I would reword the rest of the phrase (not rampant) Cosmetics industry sales are being consolidated in department stores and this is unclear in your phrasing

there is a very strong trend towards recentring/refocusing/clustering
the problem is "concentration of what"? Is in on their core business (whence the above)? Or is it concentrating on targeted groups of products (clustering). or on selected big stores? (concentrating on a few key products/brands)?

There is very strong/heightened consolidation of (cosmetics) industry sales in department stores
Just to say I agree with Béa`s rendering but would add "cosmetics" to clarify the industry.
Rampant may be a bit strong, but maybe not ;-)
