Mass beauty and personal care witnessed a current value rebound in 2021, after seeing a sharp decline in 2020 due to the pandemic. Mass colour cosmetics saw a particularly strong drop during 2020, but started to recover in 2021, seeing slow growth.
Specific mass beauty and personal care categories witnessed strong growth in 2021. Even during COVID-19 in 2020, mass nail polish was one of very few colour cosmetics categories that saw growth despite the long quarantine and mask regulations.
In personal care, the unit prices of mass products increased, and standard shampoos showed the most notable change, with brands such as Dr For Hair and ReEn launching more premium lines with higher unit prices compared with other mass hair care products. Consumers are purchasing these brands despite their higher prices in the hope of effective results for their scalp and skin concerns.
Mass brands that are successful in the South Korean market are seeking further growth through overseas penetration. Players in mass beauty and personal care used to focus on the Chinese market, thus product development was based on consumer studies and preferences in Northeast Asia.
