Japan Cosmetics Market Trends and Drivers:

On a foundation of J-beauty simplicity, efficacy and gentleness, Japanese cosmetics' penetration/consumption of makeup, care-affiliated cosmetics, hair products and fragrances has risen steadily, with consumers increasingly looking for texture, gentler actives and daily UV protections presented in clean and sustainable ways amid intersecting cultural influences of retail normalization and utility plus well articulated legitimacy. Retailing resources and product pipelines appear to align with "skinimalism" and scientific efficacy via the inclusion of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, fermented, or naturally based extracts or actives such as green tea and rice bran oil. Prestige < luxury brands and masstige brands have leveraged good textural quality (spreadable and light), semi-routine aspects of application, and consumer gifting via seasonal/limited-edition offerings. Drug/pharmacy, department stores, specialty stores, and e-commerce are the channels and players within this market. Less common event and trade show formats present innovation (i.e. curated by demographic/market growth influences and opportunities) and educate buyers and distributors about product awareness and B2B deal-making opportunities between domestic and international brands.

Consider the old adage of "where there are rules, there is rule breaking". In order for compliance based claims and speed to shelf: quasi-drugs: (i.) need approval to go to market and (ii.) are subject to more label restrictions; cosmetics: (iii.) can't use language and claims about therapeutic qualities; (iv.) are subject to recent changes and restrictions on ingredient and related claims; and (v.) clarifications to eliminate ambiguity, which will require brands to further disentangle ingredient transparency and their substantiation behind it. The same goes for natural and luxury. Both models indirectly affect brands that take "value" based innovation approaches that rely on shifting budget and price response of the consumer. Both also benefit from a focus on sustainability and traceability of the products. Examples include refill systems, recyclable packaging, sourcing stories or ingredient origins. Portfolios need to be able to tell a story using proven actives with advanced sensorial attributes.
