China Haircare Market Research: Haircare Routine and Purchasing Habits Analysis

Client profile

The client is a haircare brand from Indonesia, well-established in worldwide markets. The company is already distributing its products in Mainland China through e-commerce platforms.

 

Objective

The client contacted Daxue Consulting to conduct thorough research on Chinese haircare consumers, to understand better:

  • Consumers’ haircare routine and rituals
  • Purchasing triggers when selecting haircare brands and products
  • Perception of companys’ products in China

Research process & methodology

To deep-dive into Chinese haircare consumers’ routines and purchasing habits, we divided our work into three steps:

Step 1: In-depth analysis of consumers’ haircare routine

Step 2: Deep-dive into consumers’ purchasing triggers and perception of the brand 

To best understand Chinese consumers’ haircare routines and habits, we carried out online diary interviews with 15 participants. It helped us map:

  • number of steps
  • duration of each step
  • number and types of haircare products used

Individual online interviews with the participants were then carried out to understand their purchasing triggers and their feedback towards the brand and its products.

We mapped out the consumer’s path to purchase, identified key purchasing triggers and qualified the motivations and possible barriers to purchasing haircare products of our client.

 

Outcome

We provided our client with tailor-made recommendations to adjust the marketing strategy in China based on our findings in the form of a conclusive workshop, where we also presented an extensive report for guidance, centred around:

  • Chinese consumers’ haircare routine and rituals
  • Local consumers’ purchasing triggers when selecting haircare brands and products
  • Feedback on clients’ product portfolio
