China Cosmetics Market to Grow with a CAGR of 10.37% through 2030F

The China cosmetics market is growing due to rising disposable incomes, increased beauty awareness, social media influence, and strong demand for skincare and premium products, especially among younger consumers.

According to TechSci Research report, “China Cosmetics Market – By Region, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, The China Cosmetics Market was valued at USD 9.56 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 17.23 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 10.37% during the forecast period. The biscuit market in China has been undergoing a steady transformation over the past decade, reflecting shifts in consumer behavior, dietary trends, and socio-economic factors. As China’s middle class continues to grow and urbanization accelerates, the demand for convenient and ready-to-eat snack foods like biscuits has risen significantly. While traditionally seen as a treat for children or a basic tea-time snack, biscuits are now consumed by a broader demographic, including working professionals and health-conscious adults. The broadening of the consumer base has encouraged companies to rethink their product development strategies and invest in brand diversification, especially in urban centers where modern retail formats dominate.

In addition to skincare, the demand for natural, organic, and cruelty-free products has been rising. Younger generations, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are increasingly prioritizing sustainability and ethical considerations when purchasing cosmetics. This shift has led to the popularity of vegan, plant-based, and environmentally friendly products. Many consumers are now opting for cosmetics brands that not only deliver superior performance but also align with their values of sustainability and ethical sourcing. The increased awareness of environmental and social issues has also pressured companies to adopt more sustainable production practices, such as using recyclable packaging and sourcing ingredients responsibly.

Another significant factor contributing to the growth of the China cosmetics market is the rapid adoption of e-commerce. The rise of online shopping platforms such as Tmall, Taobao, JD.com, and the popularity of social commerce platforms like Douyin (Chinese TikTok) and Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) have fundamentally changed how beauty products are marketed and sold in China. The convenience of online shopping, combined with the growing influence of live-streaming and influencer promotions, has created new opportunities for cosmetics brands to reach a broader audience. The rise of social commerce, in particular, has allowed brands to tap into the power of word-of-mouth marketing and peer recommendations, which are increasingly influencing purchasing decisions among Chinese consumers. As a result, many beauty companies are focusing heavily on digital strategies to expand their presence in the market.

The country’s middle class continues to grow, and with it, the demand for beauty and personal care products. This demographic shift, combined with the increasing influence of social media and digital platforms, presents ample opportunities for cosmetics brands. Furthermore, as Chinese consumers become more sophisticated and knowledgeable about beauty products, there is a growing demand for premium and high-quality products, particularly those that offer visible results. The desire for personal expression and self-care is also driving interest in niche and luxury beauty brands, which are seeing increased consumer interest in areas like skincare, makeup, and fragrance.
