Ⅰ. Introduction
Business research insights predicts that the shampoo market will expand to 37.98 billion dollars by 2025. As consumers’ demands for scalp health, ingredient safety and personalization keep rising. Thus, traditional price wars are no longer sufficient to sustain long-term competitiveness. 3TOP as a shampoo manufacturer, has the advantages of supply chain and professional teams. It also can quickly seize the niche markets through technological innovation and precise positioning. Moreover, they must deeply understand consumption trends. From the ingredient fanatics’ insistence on transparent labels to the extreme demand for cost-effectiveness. At the same time, social media provides the possibility of low-cost explosion for products. In the future, only those shampoo manufacturers that can quantify product efficacy data and build sustainable brand narratives can truly break the “transient” industry curse and achieve long-term growth in the competitive hair care market.
Ⅱ. Comprehensively understand the market demands
1. Target consumer group
(1) Divided by gender
Male customers usually focus on the anti-dandruff and oil-control effects of the products and prefer simple and practical packaging. Female customers, on the other hand, pay more attention to the nourishing and repairing functions and fragrances of shampoos. They tend to choose products with effects such as softening and enhancing luster. They also prefer more exquisite and beautiful designs to the packaging.
(2) Divided by hair type and scalp issues
For customers with dry and damaged hair, they seek moisturizing and repairing shampoos. For those with oily hair, they prefer oil-controlled and refreshing ones. Customers with sensitive scalps focus on mild and non-irritating formulas to reduce irritation and itching. Customers with hair loss problems tend to choose hair regrowth shampoos.
2. 4 pain points of the industry
(1) Homogenization
Currently, numerous shampoo brands are highly similar in terms of functions, appearance, and promotional methods in the market. It’s difficult for consumers to distinguish the products of different brands. This homogenization phenomenon not only intensifies the fierce competition in the market but also makes it hard for brands to form unique competitive advantages. Shampoo manufacturers need to constantly innovate and develop new products with differentiated advantages to meet the increasingly diverse demands of consumers. Thereby breaking through the homogenization predicament and standing out in the market.
(2) The ingredients are not disclosed
Most manufacturers will only label a few ingredients on their packaging. Some will use marketing gimmicks (“secret active ingredients”) in marketing. There’s clear labeling of the concentration, source, and safety of key ingredients. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for users to know the real effects of the product, especially for those with sensitive scalps. Therefore, under tightened regulations and improved user awareness, shampoo manufacturers need to promote formula transparency. That is, the full ingredient list plus professional test reports to improve market trust. They’re antidotes to the industry’s “black box” predicament.
(3) Supply chain instability
Supply chain instability could lead to such problems as interruption in raw material supply, production delays, and cost increase. These all relate to shampoo manufacturing and supply negatively. Therefore, the steady operation of the supply chain is key to the shampoo manufacturing process to maintain quality and fulfill the requirements in the market. However, it is not easy due to various reasons, such as natural calamities, policy reforms, or mismanagement by the suppliers. Therefore, effective measures need to be taken to ensure the stability and reliability of the supply chain by shampoo manufacturers.
(4) Limited environmental protection level
At present, some manufacturers have introduced recyclable packaging and plant-based formulas. But the environmental improvement effect of the industry is limited. For example, the plastic bottle recycling rate is less than 30%. And degradable materials are difficult to popularize due to their high costs. The carbon emissions and wastewater treatment problems in the production process have not been resolved. This “surface-level environmental protection” phenomenon is encountering increasingly international ESG supervision and questioning from environmental protection consumers. It forces industry to undergo a genuine green transformation. From packaging innovation, clean production to full life cycle management, rather than remaining at the level of environmental protection showmanship in marketing.

Using packages produced from materials that can be recycled and reused or come from a renewable source. For example, biodegradable plastics, and paper-based materials make their contribution to the production of plastic waste and pollution in the general environment low. The energy that is utilized, as well as carbon emissions for the production and processing of such products, is much lower than in traditional plastic packaging materials, and they are in line with sustainable development.
