Shiseido's China Recovery Is on the Way; Restructuring Crucial to Rebuilding Japan's Margins

Regaining growth momentum in Japan and China, the largest two markets, is on the top of Shiseido’s agenda post COVID-19. The strategic shift of its focus to prestige skincare has enabled Shiseido to channel resources to its core competence. Yet, the bet on China has taken its toll after a notable slowdown in China’s consumption and thus beauty spending. Shiseido plans to beef up marketing investment through 2025, preparing for growth acceleration and margin expansion through 2027. The recovery of Japan’s premium (midpriced) cosmetic sales and normalization of margins in China play the most critical roles to attaining its profit margin target of 12% by 2025, in our opinion.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Shiseido is well poised to reap the benefits of the global premiumization trend and consumers’ shift of spending to skincare given its competitive edges in skincare innovations and a renewed strategy of customer-centric product launches.

Bears

The U.S. recessions could weigh on global consumer sentiment, disrupting the premiumization trend and depressing spending on beauty products.
