China's initiatives, such as "Shopping in China" and "Export to China", have reflected the country's push to boost domestic consumption and expand market opportunities, drawing global companies seeking to align their strategies with the rising consumer demand and innovation potential.

The Estée Lauder Companies highlighted the Chinese market as a key driver of its global strategy. The company said that the country's dynamic business environment, diverse consumption scenarios, and massive market scale make it an increasingly vital hub within its global network, integral to the firm's "Beauty Reimagined" strategic vision.

Chinese consumers are among the world's most sophisticated, driving us to accelerate innovation that blends novelty with local relevance," Joy Fan, president and CEO of The Estée Lauder Companies China, said.

By leveraging China's efficient R&D ecosystem, the company is accelerating the journey from concept to market. Innovations developed locally not only cater to domestic demand, but also extend to Asian and global markets, enhancing the company's agility and worldwide impact.

Last year, the company's China Innovation Labs received official accreditation as a Global Innovation R&D Center from the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, recognizing its scientific excellence and consumer-centric innovation.

"We will continue to respond to the evolving needs of Chinese consumers, strengthen collaboration through platforms such as the China International Import Expo, partner with Chinese startups, and seize opportunities in the China market to drive sustainable, mutually beneficial growth," Fan said.
