Key Market Issues

• China is the world's second largest retail market, recording double digit annual growth since 2003. However, the overall retail market remains highly fragmented between large format organized retail and small and medium sized retailers.
• Convenience Stores have a high share in Haircare products distribution, disproportionate to its share in overall Health and Beauty products distribution in China, offering brands in the low to mid-range.
• Tweens and Early Teens in China display lesser propensity for heavy consumption as personal appearance is yet to gain importance in their life.
• Perms and Relaxers have less than 1% value share in China's Haircare market. With Chinese hair being largely straight, thick and coarse, perms have limited scope to provide a durable wave to the hair.

Key Highlights

• The Haircare market in China is equally split between Male and Female consumers with men accounting for 49.6% of the Haircare sector by volume.
• China has a significant share of the mid-life population in full-time work, with rising disposable incomes allowing them to purchase more expensive Haircare products, such as anti-damage and scalp treatment.
• Shampoo constitutes the largest Haircare market category in China, accounting for more than 67.7% of the market in value terms in 2012, as Chinese consumers tend to have very thick oily hair that requires regular washing.
• Convenience and small packaging formats used in Bag/Sachet are the dominant needs for Haircare packaging in China. In bigger formats manufacturers are opting for PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
