▍ China skin care market: the share of local brands rises first and then falls; At present, the local leading brands are diverging from international high-end brands, and their share is at the bottom.

Korean brand share rose first and then stabilized, from 1.2% to 4.5% in 2012-2016, then the mass line weakened but the high-end line increased, and the overall share was stable. Since 2022, many factors such as marketing, channels and local epidemic have caused many changes in the trend. Among them, the local leading companies are becoming increasingly high-end, and the diversion of overseas high-end brands is expected to drive the local share to the bottom.

▍ The channel and media dividends faded, and local brands increased investment in R&D, returned to product strength and accumulated brand strength.

Channel change: from 2001 to 2010, CS stores, supermarkets and other brands gave birth to beauty channels; In 2011-2015, the offline was good, the online rose, and the brand enjoyed a double-line bonus; In 2016-2021H, international brands increased rapidly, and new brands emerged; Since 2021H, channel and media dividends have subsided.

Marketing change: from celebrity endorsement to multidimensional grass planting, from big-screen advertising to content marketing and value recognition.

Advanced R&D: In recent years, the brand of skin care of pharmaceutical origin has performed outstandingly, from "medicine" to "makeup", with better quality control and efficacy; Local brands such as Polaiya/Betani/Huaxi /PMPM gather head R&D talents at home and abroad; Synthetic biotechnology promotes the innovation iteration of beauty raw materials, local raw material enterprises flourish, and the curtain of domestic substitution of raw materials opens.

▍ Risk factors:

Discount promotion of international brands suppresses local brands; The relationship between beauty brands and e-commerce platforms is unbalanced; It takes time to accumulate significant results in R&D investment; Scattered epidemic situation repeatedly affects the demand and sales of beauty; Policy supervision strictly affects the growth rate of the industry; The speed and range of domestic substitution of raw materials may not meet expectations.

▍ Investment suggestion:

As a typical optional consumer product, beauty cosmetics have both efficacy and spiritual attributes, with efficacy depending on technology and spirit relying on culture. Local brands increase investment in R&D, and product strength is quietly improved; At the same time, we have a deeper understanding of local channels and marketing. It is expected that the share of high-end and ultra-high-end will increase in the future, which will drive the overall share to rebound. At the present stage of fading dividends and full competition, strong marketing, channels, operational capabilities and sustained high R&D investment are indispensable.
