Adore Beauty Group Limited (ASX: ABY)

The first small cap to watch is Adore Beauty. It is a leading online beauty retailer which has been growing strongly over the last few years. This has been driven by a significant lift in customer numbers thanks to the shift to online shopping. The good news for Adore Beauty and investors is that this shift is only really getting started in the beauty category. This gives the company a long runway for growth as the shift continues and more sales move online.

Alcidion Group Ltd (ASX: ALC)

Another small cap share to watch is Alcidion. It is a growing informatics solutions company which provides software which has been designed to improve the efficacy and cost of delivering services to patients and reduce hospital-acquired complications. Demand has been strong for its offering, which is supporting strong sales growth. For example, earlier this week Alcidion revealed that year to date FY 2022 new sales had reached $42.9 million. This is up 93% on cumulative new sales at the same time last year.

Catapult Group International Ltd (ASX: CAT)

A final small cap to look at is Catapult. It is a global sports analytics company that provides elite sporting organisations and athletes with real time data and analytics to monitor and measure athletes. It has been a positive performer in FY 2022, with the company reporting a 13% increase in revenue to $37.5 million during the first half  This was driven by a sizeable 29% growth in subscription revenue, which reflects Catapult's strategic shift to a focus on high quality recurring revenue SaaS deals.
