中国凭借其充满活力的消费环境、快速发展的科技实力以及不断壮大的中等收入群体，已成为欧莱雅集团最重要的战略增长引擎之一，集团将继续加大在华投资，深耕中国市场，欧莱雅集团CEO叶鸿慕在近期接受《中国日报》专访时如是说道。
L'Oréal will continue to strengthen investment and expand operation in the Chinese market, one of its most strategic growth drivers, fueled by the country's dynamic consumer landscape, rapid technological advancements and growing middle-income consumers, the group's CEO Nicolas Hieronimus said in an exclusive interview with China Daily recently.
叶鸿慕表示，“中国消费者见识广博、眼光独到，追求更精致多元的美妆体验。我们对中国市场及其美妆生态的长期潜力充满信心。”
"Chinese consumers are well-informed and discerning, embracing a more refined and diverse approach to beauty. We remain confident in the long-term potential of the Chinese market and its beauty ecosystem," Hieronimus said.

欧莱雅始终坚定地致力于服务中国市场，并认识到中国在全球美妆行业发展中扮演的关键角色。中国充满活力的消费格局、快速的技术进步和不断壮大的中产阶级，为美妆行业的发展和创新提供了独特的机遇，成为欧莱雅的战略重点。
L'Oréal remains deeply committed to serving the Chinese market, recognizing China's crucial role in the development of the global beauty industry. China's dynamic consumer landscape, rapid technological advancements, and the growing middle-class present unique opportunities for the growth and innovation of cosmetics industry, making it a strategic priority for L'Oréal.
叶鸿慕说：“展望未来，我们将聚焦三大增长领域：加速下沉市场布局、收获更多Z世代、男性及银发族等新兴消费群体以及强化我们的创新优势。”
"As we look to the future, we see three potential areas for growth, which are increasing our presence in lower-tier cities, winning with new consumer clusters such as Generation Z consumers (those born in the late 1990s or early this century), men and boomers, and leveraging our innovation power," Hieronimus said.
他特别指出，Z世代的消费者不仅是推动中国美妆市场蓬勃发展的生力军，更引领着潮流走向。他们精通数字科技，对美妆产品有着超乎寻常的认知。此外，中国男性美妆市场潜力巨大，超半数男性定期使用面部护肤品。银发一族同样不容忽视，这是一个正在持续增长的重要市场。
He pointed out that Gen Z consumers are not just fueling the growth of China's vibrant beauty market, but defining it. They are trendsetters, digitally savvy and remarkably literate about beauty products.
Besides, male consumers represent a substantial opportunity for growth, with over 50 percent of Chinese men regularly using facial skincare products. Not to be left behind is the boomer generation, or the silver-haired consumers, which represents a significant, growing market.
此外，欧莱雅观察到，中国二三线及以下城市展现出非凡的消费韧性。国家统计局去年7月零售数据显示，重庆、苏州、长沙等二三线城市及旅游城市美妆销售增长势头强劲。“中国的低线城市有着强大的增长潜力，这催生了对高品质商品、服务，包括国际品牌及新购物体验的需求。”叶鸿慕说。
L'Oréal said it has seen remarkable consumption resilience from second-, third- and lower-tier cities. Second- and third-tier cities, as well as tourist destinations such as Chongqing; Suzhou, Jiangsu province; and Changsha, Hunan province, have indicated robust growth trends of beauty products, according to retail sales data by the National Bureau of Statistics in July last year.
"Lower-tier cities in China represent the greatest growth potential. This is fueling a demand for higher-quality goods and services, including global brands, and new shopping experiences," Hieronimus said.
Last year, the group increased its investment in the Chinese market across many fields. These include the group's first smart operation center in Suzhou, which aims to enhance supply chain flexibility and capacity to meet the growing demands of the e-commerce market, as well as investment in the company YesSkin to seize new opportunities in medical aesthetics.

4. 生态圈建设：继续举办“：继续举办“BIG BANG美妆科技共创计划”，与初创企业进行开放式创新，今年将新增“创变可持续”赛道。近日，欧莱雅中国成立了两大全新投资基金，致力支持中国美妆新势力品牌及相关行业企业，在中国乃至全球蓬勃发展——与凯辉基金和上海静安区合作成立的基金，将重点投资处于成长阶段的美妆品牌和相关企业，另一支基金由天图投资管理，与欧莱雅集团战略创新风险投资基金公司BOLD合作，旨在投资同领域的早期公司。
Ecosystem: L'Oréal will continue the "BIG BANG Beauty Tech Innovation Program" this year to foster opening innovation with startups and it plans to add the "Sustainability" track.
L'Oréal China established two new investment funds recently which arededicated to supporting burgeoning Chinese beauty brands and related companies, fostering their growth in China and beyond. The first fund, launched in partnership withCathay Capital and Shanghai's Jing'an district, will focus on investing in growth-stage beauty brands and related businesses. The second fund, managed byTiantu Capital in collaboration with BOLD, the venture capital fund of L'Oréal, aims to invest in early stage companies within the same sector.
中国极具活力的美妆行业，正是“美”带来的巨大社会经济影响力的生动写照。以欧莱雅中国为例，据法国知名的独立经济咨询公司Asterès统计，其直接或间接提供就业岗位超33万，相当于每一个欧莱雅中国的岗位，可以带动其他领域新增20 个岗位，是中国全行业平均就业乘数的8 倍。。
China's dynamic beauty industry is a testament to the significant socioeconomic impact of beauty. A study by Asterès shows that L'Oréal China supports over 330,000 jobs, with each direct job creating 20 additional jobs across the economy—eight times the national average.
欧莱雅北亚及中国公共事务总裁兰珍珍表示：“美妆的意义远不止于消费，它更是中国经济社会跃升的翅膀，推动企业壮大，消费旺盛，行业共荣，社会向善；在今天和未来，美与中国的发展将更加前所未有地‘心心相系’——这就是我们始终坚信的‘美之道’”。
"The significance of cosmetics extends far beyond consumption—it serves as wings for China's socioeconomic advancement, while driving corporate growth, boosting consumption, and promoting the industry's common prosperity and social progress," said Lan Zhenzhen, president of Public Affairs of L'Oréal North Asia Zone and L'Oréal China. "Today and in the future, beauty and China's development will be more 'heart to heart' interconnected than ever—this is the 'Essentiality of Beauty' we firmly believe in."
