The Chinese cosmetics market records the average growth rate of more than 10% annually over the past 5 years on the back of increased national income and women's shifting recognition towards beauty. Despite the rapid growth of the Chinese cosmetics market, the authorities' strict licensing procedures imposed on foreign brands are what heighten the market barrier. In this note, the Korea-China Cosmetic Industry Study Team continuously keeps track of the trends in the cosmetic industry and policies in China for swift response so that we can act as a bridgehead of the cosmetics industry for Korea and China. Moreover, we maintain a close relationship through cooperation with local enterprises to perform documents and review processes necessary for new ingredients registration and issuance of hygiene license in a smooth and prompt fashion.
