In China local beauty market, the platform that grows most rapidly is Douyin.
In the first half of this year, the local beauty market declined significantly. According to Syntun, during 618 shopping festival, the beauty sales online is 41 billion yuan, a YOY decrease of 10.2 billion yuan, nearly decreasing by 20%. The general market is going down, but Douyin is growing against the trend. According to statistics from feigua.cn, during 618, beauty category sales on Douyin is 7.021 billion yuan, a YOY growth of 126%, running way ahead than the general market.
Actually this is a miniature of the development of Douyin Beauty.

It’s worth noting that though Estee Lauder, Lancome and other foreign-invested big brands have joined Douyin, whether Douyin could keep these big brands still remains unknown. Just like the founder of Data insider Zhang Yang said: “International brands attach more importance on long term returns, they will assess if the platform only possesses the exposure value or possesses both the value of retaining users and of exposure. So if the returns don’t meet the expectations, these international brands may decrease inputs on the platform.”
