  • Category Outlook: Male Beauty Market Growing in China
    August 27, 2018 Category Outlook: China’s male grooming market is performing well and is projected to continue to grow quickly. Urban Chinese men, particularly Male Beauty Market millennials, are increasingly image-conscious, and they spend more Growing in China time and money on grooming than do male consumers in other demographics. We think that many grooming and beauty brands will further target Chinese male consumers to drive revenue growth in the coming years. 1) Euromonitor International estimates that male grooming category sales in China will post strong year-over-year growth of 6.8% in 2018 and reach ¥14,220 million ($2,084 million). 2) Urban Chinese men spend more time grooming themselves for different occasions than do those living in other areas, and millennial men, in particular, are showing a willingness to invest in beauty products: urban male millennials in China spent an average of ¥194 ($28) per month on beauty products over the past year, according to Prosper Insights & Analytics. 3) Grooming and beauty brands have been developing different marketing campaigns to target the specific needs of male Deborah Weinswig consumers in China.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT FOR A MALE COSMETICS COMPANY XYDEMOR POPA SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Finance with honors in Finance Reviewed and approved* by the following: Brian Davis Clinical Associate Professor of Finance Thesis Supervisor and Honors Adviser Orie Barron Professor of Accounting, Director of Smeal College Schreyer Honors Program Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT FOR A MALE COSMETICS COMPANY The cosmetic industry, dominated almost exclusively by women, may be positioning itself for a massive transformation in customer demographics, expanding the profitability function to include a new variable: selling cosmetic products to men. This thesis examines the feasibility of creating a male cosmetic company. The objective of this report is to investigate solutions to the questions, “Could there truly be a market for male cosmetics, and if so, how do you promote cosmetic adoption across genders?” Beginning with a literature review examining the history of cosmetics through time, the changing social dynamics and drivers supporting the cosmetic industry’s expansion, and the existence of male cosmetic trends internationally, the groundwork is laid in support of validating the author’s predictions on shifting market trends. What follows is a feasibility assessment, presented in the format of a business plan, dissecting various cosmetic industries, potential markets, customer analyses, sales strategies, and financial planning. Included within the financial planning segment are a startup cost projection, a three- year profit and loss pro forma, a Net Present Value (NPV) calculation, and a break-even analysis.

Economics, Maitreyi College, University of Delhi, India 1637 International Journal of Policy Sciences and Law (IJPSL) Volume 1, Issue 3 Abstract The concepts of ‘makeup’, fashion and outward beauty has, for generations, been linked to femininity, with an implication of vanity. With the start of the 21st century, there was an increased reach of newspapers and magazines and a wider reach of popular music, shows and movies, owing to the spread of the Internet and similar technology. These media outlets were the direct link between celebrities and inspirational icons who comprised pop culture, and their enthusiastic audiences. This led to a greater following of popular celebrity culture, thereby leading to fashion and makeup permeating the mainstream lives of the common persons. However, since these concepts [of makeup and fashion] were restrictively associated with women, men and those belonging to other genders were prejudiced against for their involvement in the ideals of makeup and fashion. Through this paper, the authors explore the impact that pop culture including social media has had in introducing the themes of beauty, makeup and fashion in the mainstream, understanding the same as explorations of gender and self-identity.

  • Skin Care Results Or Insta-Glam
    THE CINDERELLA EFFECT Beauty products that have ‘The Cinderella Effect’ deliver instant gratification, whether in the form of immediately visible skin care results or insta-glam. These products have a powerful transformative effect and obvious photogenic appeal, worthy of being captured on millennial livestreams and videos. However, like the fairy-tale name suggests, these fast-acting beauty boosts and visual effects only last a few hours. At the stroke of midnight, the results vanish. No matter! The products are fun to use and play with, they inspire self-expression, and offer irresistible sensorial experiences.

  • MALE GROOMING in Korea, the Global Market of Male Grooming Products Is Steadily Growing
    1 MALE GROOMING In Korea, the global market of Male Grooming products is steadily growing. Men are increasingly aware of their physical IN KOREA appearance and therefore are investing more time and money to look good. [ beauty ] Knowing the influence Korean beauty has over China in particular, but also all over the world, the understanding of these new trends can help brands anticipate the future of their market. From Hyunah Lee (Dynvibe’s Korean Insight analyst) 2 +36% growth in 2017 South Korea, the leading male grooming market in the Asian Pacific region, recorded a growth of 36% in sales of male beauty and grooming products in 2017. Also, the country is top ranked in men’s skincare annual spending with an average of US$45 per capita. It is expected to remain the largest market and reach US$14.4 billion by 2020 according to Euromonitor. Noticeably, women still influence male buying behavior and buying decision-making. In fact, 42% of men declare buying their beauty products with their wife or girlfriend (source: Opensurvey). Thus, men beauty products are also often offered as presents. 3 “Clear skin” and “Neat look” In South Korea, the male population is becoming more focused on improving their self-image. The male grooming trend seems to originate from an increasingly competitive job market when men have to stand out from the mass. Nowadays, for South Korean men aged between 20 and 39 years old, a successful man is illustrated with a stylish and well- groomed style. When it comes to beauty, the ideal appearance is summed up in two words: “Clear skin” and “Neat look”.

  • Grooming Men: Consumer Culture and the Constitution of Masculine Identities
    Grooming Men: Consumer Culture and the Constitution of Masculine Identities Mary Watkins PhD Thesis May 2017 The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 75,511 Abstract Consumer culture expanded considerably throughout the twentieth-century. Consumer commodities, goods and services became ever more significant in the everyday lives of those living in the Western world. Consumer and marketing industries have invested considerable resources into sites of information that have cultivated a relationship between consumer commodities and identity with consumer brands and products positioned as signifiers of owners’ identities, used to reflect individuals’ tastes, preferences, sexual orientation, class, income, ethnicity and gender. Drawing on Zygmunt Bauman’s extensive body of work as a framework for analysis this thesis examines how a shift from a production- led to a consumer-driven culture has impacted on the identity of modern men, an identity that was until the late twentieth-century more closely associated with employment and production than consumption. By focusing on men’s relationship with and involvement in consumer markets, particularly the male grooming product market, this thesis makes an empirical contribution to the men and masculinity academic field, examining new ways of understanding male identity, masculinity and the male gender role.
