Today's consumers are no longer satisfied with simple cleaning when buying hair care products. They are paying attention to ingredients, caring about scalp health, and hoping that products can specifically address issues such as hair loss and itchy scalp. This new trend of "precision care" is forcing brands and manufacturers to change.
To meet these detailed requirements, leading manufacturers are shifting from simply being "producers" to "R&D partners." They need to conduct in-depth market research in advance, understand consumer pain points, and develop new formulas based on this understanding. Some factories build large formula libraries so that when brands want to launch a new product, they can quickly find the most suitable base and make adjustments together, which increases the success rate of new product development.
At the same time, the demand for personalization is also growing. Brands not only want products to be effective but also want them to be unique in appearance and fragrance. Therefore, factories that can provide one-stop customized services from ingredients and packaging to design will naturally win more long-term partnerships with brands. In the future, the ability to quickly understand and meet consumers' "discerning" needs will become a core competency for manufacturers.
