Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
Beauty and personal care in Hong Kong experienced dynamic development in 2024, driven by evolving consumer preferences, emerging trends, and intense competition. Post-pandemic, the local industry has seen a revival, with increasing consumer awareness and demand for premium and innovative beauty products.
2024 key trends
Driven by a growing emphasis on ethical and sustainable consumption, the purchasing decisions of consumers are gradually evolving. Beyond product performance and affordability, they now prioritise brand values, environmental impact, and animal welfare. This has fuelled a surge in demand for "clean beauty" and "vegan" offerings. Recognising this shift, chained beauty specialist Sa Sa has proactively curated dedicated sections for these products, empowering consumers to make informed choices that resonate with their personal values and contribute to a more conscious lifestyle.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape of beauty and personal care in Hong Kong has been transformed, with local and international brands vying for share. Brands are focusing on innovative strategies and unique selling points to carve out a niche, including developing innovative formulations, embracing sustainable practices, offering personalised experiences, and implementing targeted marketing campaigns. In particular, there is growing demand for skin care, particularly anti-agers, natural and organic products, and those targeting specific concerns.
Retail developments
While online shopping is booming in Hong Kong, physical stores remain extremely important for consumers of beauty and personal care. However, retail offline is gradually changing its approach to sales, as it becomes increasingly focused on the in-store experience and consumer engagement. Many brands now offer in-store consultations, where trained experts analyse the customer’s skin, recommend products, and even provide application tips. SK-II, for example, has counters where consumers can have their skin analysed before receiving a personalised skin care routine. Stores are also becoming hubs for beauty events, workshops, and masterclasses. This not only helps drive foot traffic but also builds brand loyalty and creates a sense of community. Joyce Beauty often hosts exclusive events with renowned cosmetics artists and skin care experts.
What next for beauty and personal care?
Beauty and personal care in Hong Kong is poised for continued evolution over the forecast period, with the demand for natural, organic, and sustainable beauty products set to continue rising. In particular, brands that prioritise clean ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and ethical sourcing will resonate with environmentally- conscious consumers. This includes exploring innovative packaging solutions and sustainable ingredient sourcing.
