Core view

Affected by the recent outbreak of epidemic in many places and the continuous deterioration of employment, the retail sales of cosmetics and daily necessities continued to decline in April. From January to April 2022, the cumulative value of cosmetics retail sales was 116.81 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 3.6%; The cumulative value of retail sales of daily necessities was 232.96 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%.

Since the beginning of the year, the epidemic situation in many places has repeatedly affected terminal consumption. With the gradual unsealing of shutdown areas in South China and East China, the overall economy and industry can recover steadily. We believe that the medium and long-term growth trend of medical beauty and cosmetics remains unchanged. Under the background of the epidemic, the Matthew effect of the industry is strengthened. Under the survival of the fittest, the leading enterprises can further expand their market share by relying on the advantages of brand, channel, supply chain and capital. We continue to be optimistic about Imeik Technology Development Co.Ltd(300896) which is the leader of injection light medical and American medicine and equipment and Yunnan Botanee Bio-Technology Group Co.Ltd(300957) , which is a leading domestic anti allergy skin care product.
