Guojin Securities has released a report indicating that the beauty industry is shifting towards refined operations within a mature market. While the 618 shopping festival saw a slight decrease in scale, it featured structural improvements, with brands prioritizing repurchase rates and profit margins. Emerging categories like color cosmetics and fragrances are showing growth, supported by government subsidies aimed at nurturing domestic high-end brands. The report highlights that AI is significantly reducing costs and increasing efficiency across the entire value chain, particularly in content generation and ad placement, leading to higher profit margins. In terms of distribution, Taotian remains a stronghold for domestic brands, while Douyin is becoming a key battleground for foreign brands seeking to regain market share. The analysis suggests focusing on companies with improving Q2 earnings, strong brand loyalty in the premium segment, and excellent value-for-money offerings to capitalize on structural opportunities.
