Navigating China's Transforming Beauty Industry: Insights from the NIQ 2024 Forum

The landscape of the Chinese beauty industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation. As new sales channels continue to emerge and consumer demographics evolve, brands must make strategic decisions to succeed in this increasingly competitive environment. To navigate these changes effectively, NIQ China hosted the NIQ 2024 Beauty Personal Care Forum in Shangh. This event provided valuable insights for beauty brand leaders looking to drive product innovation and ensure future success.

During the forum, industry experts at NIQ explored the current global beauty market dynamics, pinpointed emerging trs specific to China's beauty sector, and discussed how evolving social media landscapes are reshaping the industry. They shared strategies on optimizing content in the era of interest-based e-commerce, offering insights into strengthening pricing power - all providing brands with valuable guidance for thriving in this dynamic environment.

Global Beauty Market Overview:

Tara James Taylor, Senior Vice President of NIQ Global Account Development, kicked off the Shangh event titled Global Beauty and Personal Care Industry Trs Overview. Despite global economic challenges, she highlighted that beauty purchases remn a priority for consumers even during financially tight times. Indeed, the global beauty industry continues to see robust growth in value terms - major regions experiencing annual growth rates exceeding 10, poised to add $300 billion more to the market over the next decade.

A key driver of this growth is interest-based e-commerce, notably TikTok Shop's rapid expansion and significant sales contribution. Though TikTok Shop launched later than its North American counterparts, it has experienced explosive growth and by September 2024, nearly 80 of its sales came from beauty and health categories. The intense global competition in the e-commerce space, fueled by platforms like Temu, has propelled the growth of players such as Shein and TikTok Shop, pushing the industry to new heights.

From a consumer perspective, Generation Z is poised to be the largest force driving beauty consumption over the next decade. These younger consumers are deeply engaged with beauty and wellness products, with an active interest in makeup and skincare. NIQ research forecasts that Gen Z will increase their beauty sping by approximately 11 annually over the coming year-a significant boost compared to other generations.

Insights on China's Beauty Market:

In the context of China's beauty market, brands must focus on three critical areas: consumers, products, and channels. The personal care category has seen continuous growth across all sales channels - moisturizers accounted for 62.9 of the skincare segment in 2024, with this sector growing by 9.5, boosting overall skincare growth to 4.2. Online sales dominate the skincare market, constituting over 80 of total sales and continuing to grow.

In 2024, online personal care sales grew by 7.3, and TikTok Shop emerged as a significant player with robust sales figures - this highlights its potential as a key channel for beauty brands looking to reach Chinese consumers effectively.

Insights on Social Media and Consumer Trs:

Brands that master the art of engaging through these channels can create viral content that sparks trs and builds brand awareness among younger audiences.
