Research Report on China Cold Chain Logistics Industry, 2016-2020: Ken Research

Cold chain is an uninterrupted series of harvest, processing, packaging, storage, transport and sale activities which maintain a given temperature range. It is used to help extend and ensure the shelf life of perishable products. In China, vegetables and fruits are easy to perish during transport and in transient storage, which increases the operating cost of fresh food retailers like supermarkets and stores. But if they were in a good cold chain system, their shelf life and marketable time could be lengthened or even doubled.
China Cold Chain Logistics Market
If the shelf life of perishable products like vegetables and fruits was extended from one day to three days, fresh food retailers' loss would decrease 30%-50%. Food decaying is the main reason for food safety risks and resources waste. And the close attention paid to food safety has driven a sharp pick up in cold chain market for foods represented by meat, fruit, vegetable, seafood and dairy product. With the increasing per capita income and improvements in living conditions, Chinese people put a high demand for food freshness. Therefore, the demand for cold chain transport of vegetables, fruits, meats and processed products has increased remarkably. In 2015, meat production in China exceeded 80 million tons, vegetable 700 million tons, fruit 260 million tons, dairy products 27 million tons and seafood 60 million tons. Besides, large amounts of meat and frozen food are produced every year in China too. Temperature fluctuation in cold storage and transport is one of the main reasons for food quality decline. To ensure those perishable foods' freshness and quality, cold chain logistics is needed. By the end of 2014, China had a freezer capacity of about 120 million cubic meters and less than 60, 00 refrigerator vehicles, lagging far behind developed countries in per capital terms. As a high-end sub-industry of logistics, cold chain logistics will become the focus of many investors in the next few years. As e-business develops in China, e-business enterprises operating fresh food are springing up and the supporting cold chain infrastructure. Many e-business companies in China have got into the field of fresh food, for example, large e-business enterprises like Tmall and JD have published their own fresh food strategy. Besides, logistics enterprises like SF Best of SF Express are conducting e-business and a bunch of professional fresh food e-business enterprises like Too Too Organic Farm are developing fast too. According to CRI's estimation, the market size of fresh food e-business was about CNY 100-120 billion and CAGR during the period of 2016-2020 will exceed 50%. Fresh food e-business companies hardly invest cold chain equipment but they indirectly force the construction of cold chain distribution network. Currently, e-business enterprises like JD and Tmall are still weak in cold chain warehouse, logistics delivery system and door to door delivery in particular for they mainly cooperate with a third party, i.e. a cold chain logistics company. Cold chain logistics network could be divided into two parts: cold chain home delivery and cold chain artery, the former belonging to express and less-than-carload logistics while the latter involving supply chain management and third party logistics. And cold chain logistics is the sub-industry of logistics with the largest potential market despite its complex operation and high barrier to entry. Cold chain logistics will be one of the hottest sub-industries of logistics in China in the next few years if the demand for cold chain and its development space in China were taken into account. With the sustained economic development, fast increase in demand for food, drugs and cosmetics, cold chain logistics industry in China will undergo a rapid growth. Therefore, there are many investment opportunities in China for cold chain equipment manufacturers and cold chain logistics enterprises.

Skin Care Product Manufacturing Industry Overview in China, 2016-2020: Ken Research

Skin care products, also known as cosmetics, are generic names of make-ups protecting the skin. They protect the skin from external harm such as chemical substances and metal ions together with excessive moisture loss. Meanwhile, they can promote the blood circulation and metabolism.
Skin care products can be divided into types of skin cleaning, caring and treatment by production process and form targeted ones of daytime and nighttime by time period, and specified ones for ladies, gentlemen and children by user. They can also be classified by function. Another classification refers to professional (mainly sold in the beauty salon) and daily skin care products (mainly sold through common channels) by way of sales.
China Skin Care Products Market
According to CRI, the skin care product market in China is the leading emerging one in the globe for the economy and population. The sales value of skin care products increased from over CNY 90 billion in 2011 to CNY 130 billion in 2015 with the CAGR of about 9.1% exceeding the growth rate of GDP during the corresponding period.
The consumption value of skin care products per capita increases yearly in China. First, the consumption ability and willingness are enhanced with the attention to health, beauty and material life. Second, the overall expenses of consumers increase with abundant varieties and functions of skin care products in China. However, the sales of skin care products are stimulated by various sales promotions on online platforms with the development of the e-commerce industry.
Skin care products are large in number and intense in competition. According to CRI, the aggregate market share of top 5 skin care product manufacturers was less than 24% in 2015, which indicates the stage of free competition of this industry. However, barriers to entry in the skin care product market remain high for new enterprises and brands. It is mainly because the maturity and stability of sales channels are of great importance for enterprises of such fast moving consumer goods. Barriers are higher for skin care products to entry in retail terminals such as department stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets and franchise stores due to the intense competition. Large-scale supermarkets and hypermarkets particularly charge higher entry fees and other selling expenses in accordance with the scale, coverage and influence. New brands cannot cover costs without certain sales volume as supporting. Generally speaking, new enterprises of skin care products need large pre-investment in sales channels, funds, construction period and it is difficult to form channel advantages within a short period.
On the one hand, domestic skin care products face challenges from international famous brands with the economic globalization. On the other hand, this impact also promotes the integration, upgrading and technologies of domestic skin care product industry.
According to CRI, major consumers of the skin care product market include children, males in addition to young ladies in China. Meanwhile, the pursuit for health and returning to nature become a trend with the upgrading of the industry structure.

Food Safety Norms Bringing Change in China Cold Chain Logistics Industry: Ken Research

Considering the current statistics, China can be contemplated as the largest economy accompanying a GDP value of more than USD 11 trillion. Supporting in line is the evidence that the Chinese population is considered to be of upper middle class with per capita income of about USD 13,170 (PPP) per year. However, it is not to undermine the fact about unemployment which has been held steady at 4.7 percent with a less than 1 percent rate of inflation since 2014. Therefore, it is to say that China’s economy is currently undergoing a rapid transition, from being a manufacturing and construction led economy to a consumer led economy.
China Cold Chain Logistics Market
According to a recently released report by Ken Research, cold chain logistics can be defined as an uninterrupted series of refrigerated collection, processing, packaging, storage, transportation and distribution activities with associated equipment which maintains a given low-temperature range to preserve and extend the life of products, ensuring the quality of perishable products. With the evident improving economy, growing household incomes, there has been an inflating demand with regard to safety; health and quality of life which in turn is highly benefitting the Chinese cold chain market with a growth over 20% p.a. over the past five years. The growth has been further aided due to the increasing concerns regarding food and drug safety, especially with the increasing popularity of purchasing fresh produce online. The cold chain logistics lays the foundation for supplying perishable products (fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy, aquaculture products, fresh flowers fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy, aquaculture products, and fresh flowers) and medical products (drugs, reagents, vaccines, biological products), requiring certain strict temperature, humidity and environmental conditions. In addition, these temperature-controlled products require a series of steps to move along the cold chain which can be broken down into the segments of warehousing, ground transportation, air transport, distribution, infrastructure providers (equipment, systems, basic services etc.), and third-party logistics service providers (3PL).
In terms of tax policies, in June 2016, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Commerce jointly issued Notice on Central Finance's Support for the Development of Cold Chain Logistics, says Ken Research. According to the notice declared, the 10 demonstration regions which received financial support included Shandong, Henan and Chongqing amongst the remaining others. All inclusive of these facts, the Chinese government has been in support of the development of cold chain logistics industry.
However, despite of taking a leading position in the agricultural and animal products supply market, there still prevail significant losses of quantity as well as quality before the products even reach the consumers due to a shortage in the chill-facilities and the major cold chain systems. Also, there are numerous consumers purchasing the agriculture and food products from a traditional wet market, which is further limiting the full utilization of the cold chain systems. Therefore, in order to overcome the often occurring serious food incidents, an impetus to the growth of cold chain market has been provided. In support, the major cities of Beijing and Shanghai have also been witnessing dramatic growth pattern in the utilization of cold chain warehouse and transportation systems. Moreover, as the western businesses and cultural influences become increasingly popular and the consumers are becoming more aware and educated pertaining to the food safety issues, the market improves on the standard of flourishing not only in China, but also as a supplier at the global level, aided with technology, equipment and a booming market. For example, Agility Fairs & Events was the only sole provider of cold chain logistics during the 6-month period of World Expo that took place in Shanghai, China in 2010. As the Official Logistics Services Provider of World Expo 2010, it provided a full range of transportation and storage services at the event, which exhibited over 200 countries and organizations.
