Consumer Goods & ServicesCompetitive Analysis and Growth Strategy for the Infant and Children’s Skincare Market


This due diligence project focused on assessing growth potential, evaluating competitiveness, and formulating sustainable expansion strategies for the infant and children’s skincare market. We examined market structure, competitor positioning, consumer purchase behavior, and the target company’s growth opportunities and potential synergies. The resulting recommendations enable the target company to secure a differentiated competitive edge and fortify its long-term growth platform.

1. Market Structure and Competitive Landscape

Valued at approximately KRW 1 trillion, the domestic infant and children’s skincare market is segmented by baby and kids lines. Competition is intense among specialist brands, family-oriented brands, and parent companies of childcare products. Growing demand for premium and vegan products is driving further market diversification.

  • Market Share: The top five brands command a significant portion of the market, with the target company holding a leading position.
  • Competitive Intensity: Rising demand for premium and vegan-certified products has prompted major players to pursue premiumization and brand renewals. Consequently, differentiated positioning and high-quality product development have become essential.

2. Competitive Assessment of the Target Company

A dedicated specialist in infant and children’s skincare, the target company maintains a strong market presence with its flagship creams, lotions, and soothing gels.

  • Product Portfolio: The core brand encompasses baby and kids lines, with creams and lotions generating the largest share of revenue. A high proportion of set products fosters a loyal customer base.
  • Marketing Capabilities: The company leverages consumer reviews, online mom communities, and social media for viral marketing, emphasizing “ingredient safety” and “affordable pricing” as key messages.
  • Profitability: With lower marketing expenses and efficient operations compared to competitors, the target company enjoys above-average profitability and industry-leading operating margins.

3. Growth Potential and Synergy Opportunities

The project identified concrete strategies for realizing additional growth opportunities:

  • Vertical Expansion: Upgrading existing products to premium tiers and strengthening the family product range will broaden the customer base. This enhances product lineup diversity and increases customer loyalty.
  • Overseas Market Entry: Expansion into high-growth regions presents a path to global competitiveness. Strategic alliances with local distribution channels can lower entry barriers and facilitate early market penetration.
  • Technical Differentiation: Developing vegan-certified and functional skincare products aligns with emerging consumer trends, enhancing the company’s appeal to the next generation of buyers.

Project Outcomes and Expected Impact

We provided the target company with a strategic roadmap to bolster its competitive advantage in the infant and children’s skincare market and achieve sustainable growth. In particular, broadening the premium product portfolio and entering global markets will simultaneously enhance revenue and brand equity. The recommended initiatives serve as a critical foundation for the target company’s ascent to industry leadership.
