2024 Deep Analysis Report on Online Makeup Remover Consumption Trends in China
Chapter One: Overall Scale and Channel Structure Evolution of the Makeup Remover Market
The online makeup remover market in China is experiencing explosive growth. According to authoritative data monitoring, the total scale of online makeup removers exceeded 8.5 billion RMB as of January 2024 MAT (Moving Annual Total). This figure marks the official entry of makeup removers into a high-growth segment within the cosmetics industry, with a growth rate far exceeding traditional categories like skincare and color cosmetics.
In terms of channel distribution, significant changes are occurring in market structure. Alibaba platforms (including Taobao, Tmall, etc.) still dominate with an annual sales volume of 5.364 billion RMB but show a year-on-year decline trend of 5.77%. Notably, during the Double Eleven shopping festival in October 2023, monthly sales for makeup removers on Alibaba platforms peaked at 899 million RMB; however, this number has decreased compared to last year’s figures. In stark contrast, Douyin has emerged strongly with annual sales surpassing 2 billion RMB for makeup removers and average monthly sales stabilizing between 180-200 million RMB—approximately accounting for 45% of Alibaba's monthly sales volume. Particularly noteworthy is that Douyin's makeup remover sales surged by an astonishing 273.66% year-on-year in December 2023.
This evolution in channel structure reflects profound changes in consumer shopping behavior. The promotional effects from traditional e-commerce platforms are weakening; consumers' willingness to stock up is declining as they lean towards making instant purchasing decisions through content-driven e-commerce platforms like Douyin which reshapes the selling ecosystem through short video promotions and live-streaming commerce.
Chapter Two: Technological Iteration and Market Performance of Makeup Remover Products
The development history of makeup remover products can be seen as a chronicle of technological evolution within cosmetics. From the earliest cleansing water era (1.0) to oil-based cleansers centered around oil-soluble concepts (2.0), culminating now into mainstream cleansing balms (3.0), each innovation corresponds with upgrades in consumer demand indicating clear trends toward entering a cleansing cream era (4.0).
Registration data reveals this evolutionary process: only 792 registrations were recorded for cleansing waters throughout 2023, continuing its downward trajectory since 2021; meanwhile registrations for cleansing balms grew against this trend by 37%, breaking past 700 registrations—a remarkable statistic highlighting strong market demand evidenced further by January 2024’s staggering increase where balm registrations soared by 376% year-on-year showcasing robust consumer interest driven largely due to their unique textures providing deep cleaning while also offering skin-nourishing experiences underpinned by “cleansing + nourishing” principles.
Major brands have launched breakthrough products focusing heavily on innovation including Shu Uemura’s latest Water-Sensing Black Oil Cleanser featuring rare black rice alongside porous black carbon powder ensuring powerful oil control without compromising cleanliness; VAA’s Camellia Nourishing Cleansing Balm version two utilizes dual-layer biomimetic sebum membrane technology transforming every cleanse into nurturing experience catering specifically tailored solutions based upon varying skin conditions via series such as Morning Honey Cleansing Oil or Free-Flow Cleansing Oil targeting distinct needs accordingly .
