Yano Research Institute (the President, Takashi Mizukoshi) has conducted a survey on cosmetics contract manufacturing market in Japan, and has found out the current market conditions, the trend by market players, and the future outlook.

Market Overview
In FY2018, the market size of the cosmetics contract manufacturing in Japan grew by 12.1% from the preceding fiscal year to 325,000 million yen. Since the revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in 2005 that deregulated market entry, new market entry as well as contract manufacturing are growing.

Noteworthy Topics
Despite the Decline in Inbound Tourism Demand Due to China’s New E-Commerce Law, The Market Show Stable Growth as Tariff Reduction Proved Effective
Under the China’s new e-commerce law that came into force in January 2019, Chinese “social buyers” (individuals doing business through online channels) are obligated to obtain a business license. There is a growing concern that this may decrease the number of Chinese tourists who purchase the cosmetic products.
On the other hand, the export of Japanese cosmetics is increasing, driven by the drastic tariff reduction on the household products in July 2018, which included cosmetic products such as skincare and hair styling products.
Future Outlook
In the cosmetics market in Japan, the production hike is continuing due to the rise in the domestic consumption (domestic demand) as well as in the overseas demand. With the increase of contract manufacturing (outsourcing) by cosmetics brands and companies that newly entered the cosmetics market, the cosmetic contract manufacturing market in FY2019 is forecasted to grow by 8.0% from the previous fiscal year to 351,100 million yen.
