Summary of the Medical Aesthetics Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The medical aesthetics industry is experiencing a slowdown in revenue growth, with a slight year-on-year decline expected in 2025. Some institutions have reported declines of up to 50%, while large chain institutions and compliant small to medium-sized institutions continue to grow, indicating a market divergence [1][6]. - The industry is facing intensified price competition, leading to a continuous decrease in average transaction value. The net profit margin is expected to remain between 8% and 10% in 2025, similar to the previous year [1][8]. Key Insights - **Revenue Growth**: The overall revenue growth for the medical aesthetics industry in 2025 is projected at 5%, down from 7% in 2024. This slowdown is attributed to a 4% decrease in average transaction value, despite a 9% increase in customer traffic [3]. - **Customer Dynamics**: The number of new customers has decreased, particularly among university students and young consumers, influenced by stricter advertising regulations and seasonal factors [4][5]. - **Market Regulation**: Stricter regulations since 2022 have significantly impacted the market, especially affecting younger consumers who are more reliant on advertising and influencer marketing [5]. Competitive Landscape - There is a clear differentiation between large chain institutions and smaller ones. Large chains like Langzi, Yilai Mei, and Lige maintain single-digit growth despite a slowdown, while many smaller institutions, particularly in the light medical aesthetics sector, are experiencing declines [7]. - The competition among upstream medical aesthetics products is intensifying, yet the gross profit margin remains high, typically above 90% [10]. Product Insights - **PDRN Market Potential**: The PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) market is expected to grow significantly, with relevant registrations anticipated in 2026. PDRN offers advantages in skin management over traditional hyaluronic acid and collagen due to its anti-inflammatory and tissue repair properties [13][14]. - **Collagen Market Trends**: The recombinant collagen market still has growth potential, but the growth rate may slow down due to increased competition and lower procurement prices. The effectiveness of low-cost collagen products is comparable to high-cost alternatives, with differences mainly in brand influence and physician training [17][18]. Financial Performance - The company's collagen sales growth from January to November 2025 is 53%, down from 79% in 2023 and 66% in 2024. Despite this decline, the growth rate remains high, and market share is expected to continue increasing, although at a slower pace [19]. - The average transaction value is expected to continue declining, which may pressure profit margins. The company is exploring cost-reduction strategies, including outsourcing production [9][28]. Customer Retention and Acquisition - The increase in repeat purchases from existing customers is a key driver of overall customer traffic growth, with the average number of repeat purchases rising from 5.5 to 6.5 times per year [26]. - The cost of acquiring new customers has increased by at least 5% compared to the previous year, influenced by reduced marketing expenditure and increased costs across various online platforms [28]. Future Outlook - The medical aesthetics industry is expected to continue growing in the coming years, but at a slower rate than in the past. The concentration of the industry is likely to increase, with higher barriers for new entrants requiring refined operations and strong customer retention strategies [22][23][24]. - The market may see a consolidation of smaller, poorly performing institutions, leading to a more robust and competitive landscape for compliant and capable companies [22].

12月2日-5日，由新华社品牌工作办公室、新华网、新华社海南分社主办的2025企业家博鳌论坛系列活动在海南博鳌召开。期间，柏荟医 疗集团创始人兼董事长郑涵文在木兰悦享会圆桌对话、《对话掌门人》等系列交流中，结合企业实践，分享了对医美市场变化、品牌发展 与行业生态的思考。 "共情"消费需求：从"跟风追美"到"理性悦己"的转变 "现在的消费者不再追求千篇一律的模板，而是更看重保留自身特色的'个性化美'。" 郑涵文在2025木兰悦享会圆桌对话环节中谈 到，"从'复制他人'到'悦纳自己'，从'外在迎合'到'自我觉醒'，女性医美消费的逻辑转变，不仅是审美观念的升级，更是女性社会价值认同 的深刻变革。" 郑涵文提到，这样的需求在几年前并不常见。据德勤《中国医美行业白皮书》数据，2024年超68%的消费者将"保留个人特色"列为选择医 美服务的重要考量，而2020年这一比例还不到30%。 "这是很积极的变化，说明美正在从'被定义'走向'自我定义'，和国家倡导的'理性医美'导向契合。"郑涵文说，基于这样的市场洞察，柏荟 从早期的"私人美丽定制"逐步升级为"高定美学"服务模式，核心就是尊重个体差异，让医美回归"以人为本"的本质。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The rise of the beauty economy has led to the popularization of medical aesthetics consumption, but it has also resulted in various industry issues, including price transparency, effectiveness discrepancies, and doubts about institutional qualifications. Consumers are increasingly turning to complaint platforms and understanding merchant reputations to avoid pitfalls before making decisions in the medical aesthetics sector [1][12].

Group 4: Comprehensive Evaluation Using Different Complaint Channels - For high-risk medical aesthetics consumption, a dual-line investigation approach combining official and social channels is recommended [21]. - Steps include checking qualifications through the Health and Wellness Committee's website, searching for complaints on platforms like 12315 and Black Cat Complaint, reviewing user experiences on social media, and consulting individuals with similar experiences [21]. Group 5: Post-Consumption Complaint Channels - If issues arise post-consumption, consumers should promptly utilize various complaint channels, each focusing on different aspects: the Health and Wellness Committee for medical compliance, market regulation departments for commercial behavior, and social platforms for public pressure on merchants [10][22]. - Multiple channels can enhance the efficiency of problem resolution [10][22]. Group 6: Rational Consumption and Active Rights Protection - Medical aesthetics is a unique decision-making process that combines medical and service attributes, making rationality and thorough pre-research essential [23]. - Consumers should view checking complaint information as a responsible action rather than suspicion, and they should choose legitimate institutions, sign clear contracts, and retain all evidence [23][24].
