Watsons

The demand for start-up brands is growing stronger and faster than traditional brands. As the leading retailer in Mainland China, Watsons sets O+O (Offline plus Online) as the new standard for retail, seamlessly integrating offline and online platforms to help start-up brands expand their businesses, reach target audiences and increase sales.

Is K-Beauty here to stay? According to the data released by the Korea Customs Service and Korea Cosmetic Association, South Korean cosmetics exports climbed 16.1% to reach nearly USD7.6 billion in 2020 despite the pandemic. In addition, latest research forecasts that the market size of K-Beauty will continue to grow at CAGR 9% from 2021 to 2027.

Watsons is proud to announce the launch of over 1,600 Sustainable Choices products both in stores and online. The launch is the result of close collaboration with global supplier partners, including sector leaders Beiersdorf, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Kao, L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt, Shiseido and Unilever.

YiMagazine, an influential media in Mainland China, has published the 2021 Most Loved Local Brand ranking and Watsons China ranked No.1 in the Beauty Retailer category, showing the success of Watsons in leveraging its O+O (Offline plus Online) retail strategy to closely connect with its customers.
