Market Analysis
Chinas cosmetics market is flourishing, yet, there is still huge potential for further growth as per capita annual expenditure on cosmetics today is well below the global average. The factors fueling growth into the industry include WTO accession, rising disposable income, changing lifestyles and shift towards westernized culture, among others. At present, the cosmetics and toiletries sales are dominated by the urban areas, but growth in future is expected to come from rural Chinese people boosted by rising middle class families and changing consumption patterns.
