国际资本按下中国投资新按钮:开云、欧莱雅从“收购”转向“播种”
Yang Zi Wan Bao Wang· 2025-12-03 11:40
在品牌投资方面,欧莱雅尤为关注具有东方美学叙事的本土高端品牌。就在今年11月,欧莱雅宣布对中 国纯净护肤品牌"LAN兰"进行少数股权投资。这个以"以油养肤"闻名的品牌,是欧莱雅旗下美次方公司 投资的首个中国本土护肤品牌。此前,美次方已投资了高端香水香氛品牌"闻献DOCUMENTS"和"观 夏"。更早之前,欧莱雅还曾以4.42亿元投资了本土美妆巨头自然堂,持有其6.67%的股份。 当全球奢侈品与美妆巨头在中国市场的传统增长路径遭遇挑战时,它们不约而同地选择了一种更轻巧、 更深入的方式继续加注。近日,中国高端黄金珠宝品牌"寶蘭"的母公司杭州宝兰黄金文化发展有限公司 宣布完成一轮超1亿元人民币的融资。这笔交易的特别之处在于其投资方阵容:领投方是本土消费领域 的明星推手挑战者创投,而跟投方中则赫然出现了法国奢侈品巨头开云集团与雷军旗下的顺为资本。 这并非国际巨头一时兴起的偶然之举。同样在近期,全球美妆巨头欧莱雅集团在中国市场也动作频频, 通过设立专项投资基金等方式,明确将投资中国本土创新品牌作为核心战略。两大国际巨头不约而同的 行动,标志着它们对中国市场的策略正在发生根本性转变——从过去的直接收购与控股经营,大举转向 ...

事实上,将时间拉长,在今年1-11月中,获得投融资的美妆企业/品牌也不足2成,大量的热钱均流向了美妆原料上游企业。这背后折射出怎样的行业变 化? 美妆投融资,品牌商受冷 据青眼不完全统计,今年1-11月,国内化妆品相关领域共发生了71起投融资、收并购事件。而从被投资的品牌/企业的类型来看,数量最多的即是原料企 业,共有43起,占比超过60.6%。这充分说明,化妆品上游原料成为了资本市场争相加码的赛道。 美妆品牌不"香"了。 近日,欧莱雅集团对中国纯净护肤品牌LAN兰进行少数股权投资一事,在业内引发了广泛的关注。然而,这也是上月唯一一家已公开的美妆品牌融资案 例,其余获投企业均为上游原料公司,上周刚刚官宣获得A+轮投资的巨微生物,也是一家合成生物原料制造商。 与美妆上游企业备受资本青睐有所不同的是,今年以来,国内美妆品牌商获投的现象则稍显冷清。在上述梳理的71起投融资、收并购事件中,仅有14个美 妆品牌商,占比不足两成。 | 品牌/食物 | 轻次 | | Hose T | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2023年 롭溢 个护品牌 | 种子轮 | 100万元 | 未披露 | | 香夏 南 ...

超越形象改造:欧莱雅如何让可持续发展焕发魅力

美妆巨头的区域可持续发展负责人Kiri Trier博士,诠释了她如何推动改变客户习惯,将减少浪费、重复灌装与回收利用融入日常浴室 routines。 美妆品牌巨头欧莱雅拥有37个全球品牌、业务覆盖150个国家、年销售额达411.8亿欧元(457亿美元)。尽管其许多生产基地已实现碳中和,并被公认为 可持续发展领导者,但仍存在一个情感层面的难题。 该公司DACH地区可持续发展总经理Trier指出,欧莱雅最大的碳足迹并非来自生产或物流,而是源于消费者使用产品的方式:洗发冲洗、长时间淋浴和包 装丢弃构成的范围三排放,这些恰恰是最难控制的环节。 那么,欧莱雅如何让可持续选择既令人向往又便捷?如何让选择环保产品成为自豪且有意义的行为?这些关键问题的答案将决定公司能否在范围三排放净 零目标上取得重大进展。 但若没有消费者与公司产品互动方式的转变,所有这些努力的作用终究有限。 挑战:改变行为,而非仅改变运营 内部而言,欧莱雅已构建完善的可持续发展引擎:数千名研究人员提供支持,强大的科学碳目标框架保驾护航,全球450余名专职可持续发展专业人士持 续扩容。但若消费者与产品的互动方式不变,这些努力效果有限。 Trier清晰洞察症结 ...
