I. Sustained Growth in Medical-grade Skincare: Consumers Prioritize Skin Health

In recent years, medical-grade skincare (dermatological skincare) has emerged as a key growth sector in the global beauty market. Consumers are increasingly focused on caring for sensitive skin, repairing the skin barrier, utilizing professional-grade ingredients, and adopting scientifically backed skincare routines. Compared to traditional beauty products, consumers now prefer:

Dermatologically tested products

Gentle yet effective formulations

Skincare products with clearly defined efficacy

Consequently, demand continues to rise for products addressing sensitive skin, hydration and repair, and specific functional skincare needs.

Representative brands include:

CeraVe

Cetaphil

La Roche-Posay

Vichy

Leveraging professional endorsements and consistent product performance, these brands maintain strong market appeal across the globe.

Impact on Channel Partners:

For importers, retailers, and e-commerce sellers, medical-grade skincare products offer robust market stability.

Future procurement trends are likely to prioritize:

✓ Efficacy-focused skincare products

✓ Products with high repurchase rates

✓ Classic SKUs suitable for sales across multiple markets

II. Professional Haircare Market Heats Up: Consumers Willing to Pay for High-Quality Care

Beyond skincare, the global haircare market is also experiencing steady growth.

As consumers become increasingly concerned about hair health, products such as shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and repair treatments have become essential components of daily care routines. Current high-demand categories include:

Deep repair

Moisturizing and nourishment

Smoothing care

Fragrance-infused hair care experiences

Demand for high-quality hair care products continues to rise, particularly in the Asian market.

Popular product types include:

Shampoo

Hair masks

Hair treatments

Popular brands such as:

&honey

Fino

Kérastase

...and other professional hair care brands are favored by consumers.

Impact on buyers:

Hair care products have a high frequency of consumption, making them a key category for retail channels and cross-border e-commerce.

For channel partners, building a diverse hair care product portfolio helps to:

✓ Increase customer repurchase rates

✓ Diversify the product matrix

✓ Meet the needs of different consumer groups

III. Beauty consumption is becoming more rational; multifunctional products are the new trend

In recent years, beauty consumption has shifted from impulse buying to more rational decision-making.

Consumers are increasingly focused on:

Product ingredients

Efficacy/results

Value for money

Product multifunctionality

For example:

A single product that offers:

Moisturizing + Repair

Sun protection + Skincare

Cleansing + Gentle care...

is more likely to gain consumer acceptance.

This trend drives brands to continuously optimize product R&D while influencing global procurement strategies.

For B2B buyers, selecting products with clear market demand, stable sales performance, and high repurchase rates will be a key strategy for future procurement.

IV. Global supply chain capabilities are becoming a competitive advantage for brands and channels

As the global beauty market evolves, supply chain capability is becoming a critical factor in corporate competitiveness. For overseas distributors, e-commerce sellers, and retail channels, simply carrying popular brands is not enough. Stable supply, inventory management, and rapid logistics responsiveness are equally decisive for the long-term value of business partnerships. Moving forward, beauty supply chains will place greater emphasis on:

1. Stable sourcing

Ensuring a continuous supply of popular products and minimizing the risk of stockouts.

2. Multi-brand portfolios

Covering various consumer scenarios such as skincare, hair care, and personal care.

3. Flexible supply models

Meeting the diverse needs of wholesale, retail, and cross-border e-commerce clients.
