Nu Skin invests in new facility and to attend expo

US-HEADQUARTERED Nu Skin said it’s upbeat about China’s skincare and beauty consumption and its new manufacturing site in Shanghai’s Fengxian District is on track to become operational in early 2023.

It will also make a debut at the upcoming third China International Import Expo with 180 square meters of space and unveil a new beauty device to showcase the latest technology on skin improvement.

The new 360-million-yuan (US$52.6 million) production facility with 12 production lines is expected to double its current production capacity to about 80 million items of personal care per year, said Antony Qi, vice president of manufacturing at Nu Skin China.

“We aim to upgrade skincare technology for the younger generation and remain confident of the Chinese market,” he said.

Market size of Shanghai’s skincare and makeup industry is expected to reach 100 billion yuan by 2025, from about 70 billion yuan last year, said Executive Director Jin Jian of Shanghai Daily Chemistry Trade Association.

Shanghai is home to the headquarters of about 60 multinational skincare and beauty products and has also attracted research facilities of different sizes and functions.

Cosmetics company Shiseido has set up a research facility also in Fengxian District in March to drive technology innovation as part of the local government’s efforts to connect beauty companies and relevant players to boost economic development.

“Younger-generation consumers are favoring new functional products and high-end beauty products especially after the pandemic,” Jin added. “They also prefer new gimmicks and products with good value for money.”

Nu Skin located its China Innovation Park in Shanghai in 2014 with an investment of 500 million yuan in Fengxian and has connected with industry partners in the region.
