Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/10a38f/china_sourcing_rep) has announced the addition of the "China Sourcing Report: Beauty & Cosmetics" report to their offering.
China's beauty and cosmetics industry is continuing to cultivate alternative markets and embarking on capability upgrades to sustain growth, even as export projections for the year ahead are optimistic.
The global economic slowdown has not affected suppliers as heavily as it has other export manufacturing sectors in the country. This has not resulted in complacency among businesses, however, but actually drove many to intensify strategies to boost their competitive advantages.
At the fore is an increased emphasis on emerging economies. Suppliers believe there is greater room for expansion in such markets, particularly for OBM lines.
This report focuses on the main beauty and cosmetic products exported from China - makeup for the eyes, face and lips, accessories such as cosmetic bags and brushes, and nail and skin care.

Industry statistics & charts
The following are some of the key developments we see in China's beauty and cosmetics industry:
Companies are sharpening their focus on developing cosmetics that can match the skin tone and the base color of consumers in new markets such as South America and Asia. This is especially true for manufacturers that want to launch branded collections there.
To strengthen their presence in emerging economies, several makers are establishing sales and R&D offices in target destinations. Doing so has enabled them to release products that meet the needs of consumers there.
Despite the heightened focus on new markets, businesses will continue targeting traditional destinations. Among the respondents in Global Sources' survey, 85 percent indicated that the EU and North America will remain their primary export markets.
Many operations are investing in advanced equipment to improve daily productivity by as much as 20 times. Computerized machinery is also expected to minimize wastage and enhance precision in manufacturing processes.
R&D capability is being upgraded as well. Several companies are now able to launch skin care and makeup containing mineral, organic or natural ingredients. Multifunction releases, including anti-aging and UV-protective cosmetics, are also becoming the mainstream.
China suppliers produce makeup for the eyes, face and lips, accessories such as bags and brushes, and nail and skin care. These are also the scope of this report. Each product category has its own section with details on the features and prices of low-end, mid-range and high-end models. The manufacturing and QC processes are discussed as well. Further, the section elaborates on the industry composition, highlighting key characteristics of the different types of companies.
The Industry Overview illustrates how suppliers are responding to the combined challenges of REACH compliance and higher costs. Moreover, it explains how such measures have enabled businesses to boost efficiency and release targeted collections. Roughly 90 percent of the beauty and cosmetics export manufacturing industry in China is comprised of small and midsize companies.
Approximately 70 percent of all suppliers are private locally owned companies, and the rest have foreign participation or are state-owned. OEM orders constitute more than 70 percent of overseas sales. The provinces of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang are the main production centers.
Reflecting this structure, 83 percent of suppliers profiled in this report are private local businesses. Eleven percent has participation from Hong Kong and Taiwan companies and the rest is foreign-invested. Nearly 40 percent of featured companies come from Fujian, 28 percent from Guangdong and 19 percent are from Zhejiang.

Methodology:
To produce this report, the author surveyed a wide range of suppliers. Rather than focus simply on high-profile makers, we compiled a representative sample of large, midsize and emerging manufacturers. All profiled companies are export-oriented professional suppliers that may or may not be clients of the author's.
The selection of suppliers is designed to reflect the composition of the industry in China in terms of geographic spread, business type and company ownership.
For in-depth company profiles, our research teams interviewed senior executives and export managers who discussed their recent performance and provided price, R&D, production and export forecasts for the next 12 months. The interviews were done in person, by phone or e-mail.
In each case, companies were required to answer specific questions designed to verify their manufacturing and export credentials, including their production and export statistics, and a breakdown of exports by product type and market. Our production checklist details the product-specific manufacturing capability of each supplier.
All profiled suppliers participated in a survey designed to provide insight into product and price trends, and challenges facing the industry. All survey questions are single choice. Results were calculated based on the actual number of valid responses to each question.
