Pierre Fabre, the French well-known pharmaceutical and medical skin care group, as well as being the parent company of Avène, Klorane, and René Furtherer, officially unveiled Pierre Fabre China Innovation Center in Shanghai. It is reported that the Center will be customized for research on the skin type of Chinese consumers, and development of more diversified product portfolios suitable for the local skin care market. This year, Pierre Fabre isn't the only international beauty company to further accelerate the localization process in the Chinese market. Not so long ago, LVMH Perfumes & Cosmetics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., an affiliate of LVMH, has undergone an industrial and commercial change, and its business scope has expanded to include cosmetics production. In April this year, LVMH also unveiled LVMH RECHERCHE AIC in Shanghai. In addition, L’ORÉAL, ESTĒE LAUDER, Kao and other international beauty giants took more moves in the first half of 2023. On the whole, you can extract three key trends: increasing inputs in local research and development in China, high-end oriented Chinese market, digital and intelligent operation. Next, let's have a look at how international beauty giants have cracked the Chinese market in the first half of this year. 01 Increasing inputs in local research and development in China Keeping abreast of changes in consumer demand In the first half of this year, major international beauty brands further increased inputs in local research, development and production in China, established research and development bases in China, dug deeper into the Chinese market, gained insight into consumer demand, and conducted targeted research and development innovation and production. In February, LION announced a new research and development base in Shanghai, focusing on oral care products such as toothpaste, to develop products that meet China's local needs. In the same month, BMG Global R&D Lab of Mistine China, Thailand and Germany was officially unveiled, making full use of local advantages to carry out transnational collaborative research, in order to enhance China's localization of innovative applications. In March, ESTĒE LAUDER unveiled the Global Cutting-Edge Technology Research Center and the Men's Outstanding Skin Care Research Center in Shanghai, which will focus on the needs of Chinese consumers and carry out more in-depth and cutting-edge technology research. Yosuke Maezawa, senior executive director of Kao's cosmetics business, said in April that Curel and freeplus, previously made in Japan, would also be manufactured in China. In the same month, LVMH also unveiled LVMH RECHERCHE AIC in Shanghai, which includes skin care and makeup as well as color development laboratories, product testing rooms, innovation workshops, and is committed to cutting-edge scientific research and high-tech patent research and development. The Chinese team in the Center will cooperate deeply with domestic universities and cooperate with local raw material suppliers in China for technical cooperation. In June, Pierre Fabre, the world's second largest skin care giant, established a Pierre Fabre China Innovation Center in Shanghai's Pudong New Area. The reason why major international beauty brands increased their inputs in local research, development and production in China is to save supply chain costs and improve production efficiency on the one hand, and to respond to changes in the Chinese market in a timely manner and accelerate the implementation of scientific research results on the other hand. Therefore, more and more international beauty brands with strong strength and mature scientific research technology have entered the Chinese market. 02 High-end oriented Chinese market Fierce competition among prestige brands According to the first “China Premium Consumption Report” jointly released by the Luxury Goods Professional Committee of China General Chamber of Commerce and Yaok Institute, Chinese people are driving the development of the global premium consumption market on their own. For the first time, the Chinese domestic market has become the world's largest luxury goods market. Clearly, the Chinese market is gradually becoming a “must-win” battleground for luxury brands, and this is equally true for international beauty brands. In April, Kao announced plans to increase support for the latecomer high-end brand SENSAI, with further expansion into offline channels on top of their existing online channels. They plan to open a physical flagship store in Shanghai within 2023. L’ORÉAL, which entered the Chinese high-end market ahead of others, has paid off. In May, Ma Xiaoyu, vice president of L’ORÉAL China and general manager of High-end Cosmetics Division, revealed that L’ORÉAL’s High-end Cosmetics Division had seized a market share of over 31% in the first quarter of this year in China, reaching a historical high. Seizing the Chinese high-end market is no easy task for major international beauty brands. International beauty brands not only need to consider catering to the preferences of China's new generation of consumers but also have to gain a deep understanding of and effectively integrate Chinese culture into their products. 03 Digital and intelligent operation Accelerating transformation for growth In the era of thedigital and intelligent economy, an increasing number of companies are drivinggrowth through digital transformation. They are leveraging technologies such asbig data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to empower theirbusinesses and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement throughdigital means and intelligent operation. To adapt to the fast-evolving preferences of Chinese consumers, the proliferation of new channels, and the acceleration of differentiated product development, major international beauty brands have begun to accelerate their digital transformation efforts. This is aimed at boosting research and development, production efficiency, brand strength, omni-channel operational capabilities, and supply chain excellence. In February, Xu Min, CEO of Procter & Gamble (China) and chairman of Greater China, mentioned that P&G's International Trade Supply Chain Control Center would be relocated from Europe to Guangdong. Prior to this, P&G had established the China Digital Innovation Center in Guangzhou, built a new Smart Manufacturing Center, and inaugurated the P&G Greater China Smart Technology Innovation Center. In March, L’ORÉAL announced that the L’ORÉAL China LUXE Intelligent Fulfillment Center would be established in Nantong. It will primarily support the online and offline sales of high-end products in the Chinese market for L’ORÉAL's LUXE Cosmetics Division, including brands like Lancôme and YSL. In April, a delegation of representatives from Kao (China), including Sumiya Atsushi, vice chairman of Kao (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and general manager of Kao (Shanghai) Product Service Co., Ltd., visited Tencent's headquarters to discuss further deepening their digital strategic partnership. Joe Ngai, managing partner of McKinsey Greater China, once said: "If you're looking for growth, the answer is very simple. The next China is China "

(May 2024, Bangkok) -Thailand’s thriving woodworking and furniture industry is looking forward to host the Thailand International Woodworking and Furniture Exhibition 2024 (TIWF 2024), to take place at the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Centre, in Bangkok, Thailand from 18th to 20th September 2024. TIWF 2024 is organized as a key business platform to present and discuss the latest technology, solutions, materials, trends and sustainability impacting the woodworking industry, not just in Thailand but also the surrounding Southeast Asian region. Hosted by Thailand’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the exhibition has already received numerous industry endorsements from over 17 international and local industry organizations and associations, affirming the importance of TIWF 2024 as a key regional face-to-face industry platform and market-gathering place. Taking up over 5, 000 sq. Meters of exhibition floor space, TIWF 2024 has to date received participation confirmations from 7 national exhibitor group participations from Germany, USA, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, France and Thailand, joining over 150 exhibitors from 22 countries. Over 4, 000 regional delegates and trade buyers are expected to attend this event, coming from across the entire spectrum of the woodworking and furniture production industry in Thailand and the surrounding Southeast Asian region. The exhibition is also a knowledge exchange platform with the conduct of a range of conferences and seminars that discuss and share latest industry trends and issues. In addition, there will also be a series of carpentry skill masterclasses and DIY workshops conducted by vocational institutes and knowledge partners. In helping to facilitate new business and networking opportunities between exhibitors and attendees, TIWF 2024 will oversee the conduct of numerous business related activities such as business matching program, business networking activities, technology demonstration and product presentations. Ms. Peerayaphan Pongsanam, Assistant Director at IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd., said "The trend demonstrates consistent growth in the exportation of Thai wood products. The Ministry of Commerce reveals that export values rose from 94, 460.49 million baht in 2021 to 103, 832 million baht in 2022, culminating in 115, 176 million baht in 2023. This includes processed wood, plywood, fiberboard, wooden appliances, and wooden construction equipment, thereby illustrating robust and sustainable expansion in this vital sector. ” Recently, the organizers of TIWF 2024 went on road show to Chiang Mai, North Thailand, where an industry seminar was organized to share the sustainability trends in woodworking productions. The seminar was well attended by over 70 delegates from 54 companies, coming from a region that has a vibrant woodworking industry, renowned for its skilled artisans, who produce a wide range of wooden products.

In response to market demands and exhibitor calls, China Beauty Expo (CBE) integrates new resources and will hold “China Beauty Expo - Hangzhou” (CBE Hangzhou), taking place at the E-commerce capital of China - Hangzhou during the industry procurement season in September 2024.

Based on CBE's premium standards, it will introduce trendy domestic brands, selected imports, customized supply chains, Influencers /MCN, new channels and other inno-beauty resources that adapt to the current market development, making more new resources visible and promoting the upward growth of the industry. CBE’s "2 City - 2 Expo" strategy will greatly promote the Chinese cosmetics industry in May and September.

This means that CBE has fully assembled new resources to promote China cosmetics industry; at the same time, CBE's "2 City - 2 Expo" strategy of Shanghai and Hangzhou has officially launched. CBE Hangzhou 2024 is estimated to showcase more than 5,000 beauty brands from more than 20 countries and regions, attracting over 50,000 global professional visitors to the show. There will be 4 theme halls and 3 featured areas, for a total exhibition area that is expected to exceed 100,000 square meters within 3 years. SANG Ying, executive chairman of China Beauty Expo - Shanghai and general manager of China Beauty Expo - Hangzhou, formally stated the position and detailed plans of CBE Hangzhou, and the five “innovations” that defines "Inno-Beauty". Innovative Domestic Brands & Trendy Products After more than 40 years of development, domestic brands has gradually found their own characteristics and moved on from imitation learning. More and more domestic brands have increased investment in scientific research to protect their uniqueness and quality of products. Meanwhile, with the improvement of product quality, the self-confidence of domestic brands has been greatly enhanced, and frequent innovations in the field of content marketing and scientific communication have promoted the beauty market to set off a domestic beauty tide. Based on that trend, CBE have invited a group of trendy beauty brands with strong vitality, strong growth and products of quality, influence and reputation through data evaluation and channel research through strict selection criteria to settle in the CBE Hangzhou "Domestic Brands", helping to guide domestic beauty brands to the "new future". Innovative Imports & Traffic Imported products account for half of the domestic beauty market and are the category that attracts a lot of attention and search volume in both the consumer goods market and the channel market. CBE Hangzhou, together with global resources accumulated through 27 editions of CBE and the international influence of its parent company - Informa, selects high-quality imported products that meet the current development needs of China's beauty market from more than 40 countries and regions around the world, including France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Spain, Japan, and South Korea, etc. to build new connections with the China market through domestic and regional buyer groups and brand headquarters participation in the exhibition. The "Selected Imports" hall of CBE Hangzhou will introduce international beauty products and create implementation strategies through new traffic to help beauty imports enter the China market. Innovative Science & Technology Technological innovation has become a new trend in the beauty industry. It is regarded as a core element for cosmetics brands, and act as a key engine for high-quality development in supply chains. Based on CBE's high standards and the demand from buyers, CBE Hangzhou will introduce supply chain companies that have both scientific research capabilities and innovation, that can provide customized production in the "Technological Innovation" area - "Innovative Raw Materials & Customized OEM" and "Selected Packaging, Intelli-Equipment" halls. Supply chain companies includes efficacy raw materials, customized OEM, innovative packaging, intelli-factories, intelli-machinery, etc., all of which will help push China cosmetics industry to become a technological power. Innovative Channel & Resources With the rise of the KOL economy, KOL channels has developed rapidly into one of the mainstream channels of beauty, and has become a way for many domestic brands to break through. CBE has observed that more and more emerging channels are acquiring beauty resources through the CBE platform, and at the same time, building a healthier and orderly channel ecology with the CBE platform. In order to better connect brands to emerging channels, and promote a healthy development of these channels, CBE has launched the "Influencer" project, aimed to build a beauty arena consists of high-quality beauty fashion MCN institutions, beauty vertical content creators, short video beauty experts, and beauty industry big names. CBE Hangzhou will gather 5,000+ influencers for the "Influencer" project, and will showcase the "CBE Influencer Festival" during the show. By combining the themed exhibition, on-site conferences, influencers live streaming to their followers online, CBE Hangzhou aims to bring brands and influencers closer and achieve a win-win ecology. Innovative Link & Efficiency As a key project of China Beauty Expo, CBE Hangzhou will bring insight into the latest trends and needs of the beauty industry, and link resources together with "Efficiency and Accuracy", in a new city full of potential. 2024 CBE Hangzhou will utilize CBE GoCloud, an online trading platform that have been in service for over 4 years, combining that with the huge CBE buyers database accumulated throughout the years, to welcome more than 100,000 professional visitors on-site for trade negotiations and direct procurement needs. CBE Hangzhou will utilize its professional service team to provide a more personalized experience, 1 to 1 customer service chats, precision matchmaking, customized arrangements and other services for professional buyers and exhibitors, both online and offline, to a more efficient and convenient way to connect.

Overall, the fair was met with positive feedback from participants, with many expressing a strong desire to return for next year’s edition. Exhibitors’ experiences "ISH China & CIHE offers us an all-in-one platform to showcase our latest products and solutions. We have participated for many years, and this fair has allowed us to connect with many high-calibre customers. Not only can we debut our newly released offerings, but we can also observe the new technologies on offer from other brands, facilitating an efficient exchange of information. This year we met a lot of distributors and end-users, along with a considerable international crowd. I sensed great interest in our products geared towards both the domestic and global markets. In addition to bringing us new customers, the exhibition provided an excellent avenue for promoting heat pump technologies.” Ms Li Luyao, Product Manager, Zhejiang Zhongguang Electrical Co Ltd "We have been a part of ISH China & CIHE for two decades, and have always considered it to be a benchmark event for the industry. It gives us the chance to directly connect with HVAC industry professionals, deepen our connections with existing business partners, and explore future market trends.

Hoping to establish ourselves in the Chinese market, we set out to find a reliable local agent, and ISH China & CIHE helped to facilitate those initial steps. We have received favourable feedback from visitors and potential customers, with many showing interest in our products and technologies. Having attended ISH China & CIHE last year as a visitor, I noticed that this year’s edition was far more crowded, with a more diverse range of attendees. Visitors were especially interested in our temperature controllers, instantaneous water heaters and domestic heat pumps. We’re already looking forward to exhibiting again next year.” Visitor feedback "For the second time, our association has collaborated with ISH China & CIHE to send a delegation to the show. This year, we invited chief engineers from design institutes across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Shanxi provinces, as well as various northern regions to participate in the exhibition and accompanying forums. The event hosted a number of companies who are leading the way in clean, low-carbon and renewable energy technologies – including heat pump technologies, all in line with China’s dual carbon goals. It has also highlighted some innovative concepts and emerging trends pertinent to the ongoing energy revolution. Next year, we hope to organise an even larger delegation.” Mr Zhang Jie, Chief Engineer, Beijing Institute of Architectural Design / Chairman, The Building Environment and Energy Application Branch of China Engineering & Consulting Association Association representatives and speakers’ thoughts: "This year's summit primarily centred around the application of low-carbon energy sources in future energy development initiatives. Discussions covered a broad range of topics including cross-seasonal energy storage and low-carbon energy within the context of the dual-carbon goals. Compared to previous years, I noticed more smart heating products and systems on display. The show also added a new section highlighting industry achievements, including the release of relevant publications, design accolades, and more. From the Association‘s perspective, our member companies across China turn out in full force each year, including those from places like Tangshan, Tianjin, Urumqi, and Lanzhou, so it can really be considered a important industry event. This year saw high overall attendance, with a strong turnout from heating sector professionals and experts." Ms Niu Xiaohua, Deputy Secretary, China District Heating Association "At this year’s ISH China & CIHE, we released for the first time our report on the development of heat storage and energy storage. It explores technological progress, future trends, and provides important information regarding the implementation of HVAC policies. The show is a key platform for showcasing new HVAC technologies and products, including the energy storage solutions that are driving the industry’s advancement.
