Noteworthy Topics

Recovery from Fallen Consumption Caused by Lockdown Expected for Chinese Cosmetics Market

The Chinese government locked down cities in March 2022 as the coronavirus infections expanded. This diminished local consumption, which, in tandem with the revisions in regulations for cosmetics management in China, substantially impacted the product sales at foreign cosmetics manufacturers as well as Japanese.

Lift of zero-COVID policy in 2023 has improved local consumption to go on the gradual recovery. Continuous growth of local brand manufacturers (local Chinese companies) is encouraging Japanese cosmetics OEMs to do the sales activities.

Future Outlook

The domestic cosmetics OEM market for FY2023 is projected to increase to 103.9% on a YoY basis to reach 344,500 million yen, exceeding the pre-corona level.

The cosmetic market is expected to show a full-scale recovery, due to reviving flow of people stemming from eased behavioral restrictions, expanding demand for makeup as masks not required anymore, and resurge of inbound tourism demand. Backed by such market statuses, the business size for new and renewed orders to OEMs by brand manufacturers and the frequency of such orders are expected to increase. On the other hand, however, cosmetics OEMs, that have been making efforts not to raise prices, seem to revise prices due to soaring costs for raw materials, materials for containers and packaging, fuel and light, and logistics. The cosmetics OEM market is projected to expand to 368,800 million yen by FY2027, 111.2% of the size in FY2022.
