Moreover, Brands have switched manufacturing to create hand sanitizers and cleaning supplies as well as provided complimentary beauty services for frontline response workers as part of the industry's positive response to the disaster. Another important driver propelling the organic men's grooming products market in China is the rising consumer demand for plant-inspired and premium botanical ingredients combined with multi-functional qualities in natural cosmetics, such as anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, or scars removal claims.

One of the key elements influencing the usage of cosmetics in the China market is the rise in awareness of one's inner intelligence and exterior beauty. Currently, males are using cosmetics more frequently in their daily lives than women, which support the expansion of the cosmetics industry's need. As a result of these shifting lifestyles, the China cosmetics market has expanded. Therefore, during the anticipated time, these key drivers would fuel market expansion.

After the United States, China has the second-largest market for cosmetics and personal care products worldwide. The personal care and cosmetics market in China has been growing significantly, especially for skincare and cosmetics items. The main force behind this is the rising beauty consciousness, especially among millennials and the urbanized population. All brands have the potential for tremendous growth through adaptation and transformation, even if no brand is safe when it comes to preserving its market position in this constantly shifting climate.

Based on ingredient type, the natural ingredient segment accounted for the largest share of this market and is also anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period from 2022 to 2032. Natural components such as aloe vera, hydrogenated castor oil, pharmaceutical-grade castor oil, coconut oil, turmeric, sandalwood, and rose water, among others, are used to make natural skincare products. By including these components in our regular skincare regimen, customers can get rid of all skin problems and get glowing, healthy skin. The nationwide skincare market would have additional growth potential. 

In terms of distribution type, the online segment has led the market over the past few years. During the COVID-19 pandemic situation, this segment held the largest share. Some key players are focusing on expanding their business growth by offering new benefits through online retailers and online shops. However, the offline segment is also rising due to increasing demand for various types of skincare cosmetics among a large number of Chinese consumers. Several well-known firms have also created a few mini programs to offer electronic coupons and improve consumer relations to increase both online and offline sales. 

By gender type, the female segment holds most of the market share.
