⚪ Background
What happened
AMZ123 reported on 2026-10-09 that Amazon released “The Evolution of Great Products: A Guide to Global Growth for Chinese Beauty and Personal Care Brands.” The guide says the global beauty and personal care e-commerce market reached $203.3 billion in 2025, growing 12% (compared with 6% for overall retail), and is forecast to reach $792.3 billion by 2030. It says 84% of consumers had already selected their top three target brands before purchasing; the share of purchases driven by branded search rose from 17% last year to 20%; and consumers averaged 11–12 touchpoints from browsing to placing an order. Usage of C-Beauty products was 16% in the US, 14% in Germany, and 11% in the UK. Willingness to try them was 34% in Germany, 30% in the US, and 24% in the UK, while about half were not interested.

Seller impact
- FactThe guide shows that consumer decision-making differs across the US, Europe, and Japan: in the US, quality (49%), price (41%), and fragrance (39%) matter most; consumers in Germany (45%) and the UK (40%) are sensitive to skin compatibility; and consumers in Japan prioritize safety and low irritation and rely on sample trials. Sellers should tailor ingredient information and third-party certifications to each marketplace rather than use the same materials everywhere. [1]
- InferenceInference: The share of purchases driven by branded search rose from 17% to 20%, and 84% of consumers had already chosen a brand before purchasing. This suggests that brand preference is forming earlier and that opportunities to convert through low prices alone are narrowing. With 11–12 touchpoints extending the decision cycle, coordination costs between off-site product discovery and on-site conversion are rising. The sample definition and year were not disclosed. [1]
Suggested action
First verify the guide’s original text and each marketplace’s compliance requirements, then assess how well your products’ ingredients and certifications meet requirements in the US, Germany, the UK, and Japan.
Evidence that would disprove the assessment
- Assessment 1：If Amazon revises the guide or provides different data on decision factors by marketplace, this segmentation should be reassessed.
- Assessment 2：If future public data shows that the share of purchases driven by branded search has fallen or that the number of touchpoints has dropped significantly, this inference would no longer hold. Recheck the guide’s original data over the next two weeks.
