China

The beauty and cosmetics sector in China has been growing at a fast pace in tandem with the rapid development of the Chinese economy in recent years.

Data from Euromonitor reveals that total retail sales of skincare products and make-up products in China reached £21 Billion and £3.8 Billion, respectively, in 2017, achieving year-on-year growth of 10.3% and 21.3%, respectively.

Skincare is currently the fastest-growing sector in the China beauty market.

Beauty Bulb and our experienced Chinese network can support your brand in the lead up to and during your China launch. We can help you with:

• Introductions to distribution partners
• Introductions to experts in the Tmall and Taobao platforms
• Introductions to Chinese intellectual property experts
• Sales forecasting and sales management
• Marketing strategy

Beauty Bulb is against animal testing and so we can support those brands who wish to enter China but avoid animal testing. This can be done using a Cross Boarder Ecommerce strategy.
