DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/efd35e/china_sourcing_rep) has announced the addition of the "China Sourcing Report: Personal Grooming Appliances" report to their offering.

Personal grooming appliance exports from China continue to grow steadily, with most suppliers forecasting sales increase of more than 20 percent in 2008.

In 2007, the country shipped out products worth US$1.3 billion, up by 24 percent from the previous year. Its three largest buyers, the US, Germany and Japan, accounted for more than 50 percent of export sales.

Amid rising raw material and labor costs, intensifying competition and stricter overseas standards on quality and efficiency, makers are ramping up product development efforts in an effort to keep their sales buoyant. Many are introducing multifunction products and those with special features such as ion-releasing capability.

China's personal grooming appliance industry continues to ascend at a steady pace, with most suppliers forecasting sales increase of more than 20 percent in 2008.

In 2007, the country shipped out products worth US$1.3 billion, up by 24 percent from the previous year. Its three largest buyers, the US, Germany and Japan, absorbed more than 50 percent of personal grooming appliance exports worth US$698 million in 2007.

Amid rising raw material and labor costs, intensifying competition and stricter overseas standards on quality and efficiency, makers are able to keep their sales buoyant by introducing products with ion-releasing features. This trend has caught the attention of the hair-styling and grooming industry worldwide.

Makers are also expanding their market reach by increasing shipments to Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Nonetheless, Northern America and the EU will remain the key export destinations in coming months, as demand from these regions continues to flourish.

The following are some of the key trends we see in China's personal grooming appliance export industry:

* Export prices will increase in the next six months, albeit minimally, as pressure coming from escalating raw materials costs and the yuan's revaluation cause profit margins to diminish.

* R&D efforts will focus on multifunction products such as hair straighteners with curling and crimping attachments, and trimmers with detachable blades for removing hair from various body areas.

* Low-noise motors, MCH and ceramic heating elements, and ion-releasing components will be used in greater frequency in efforts to address demand for efficiency.

* Many China makers will upgrade facilities mostly by automation, or move to bigger manufacturing plants to bolster capability.

This updated report covers hair dryers, men's shavers and women's shavers/epilators, hair trimmers and clippers, and hair-styling appliances such as straighteners and curling irons -- products that dominate China's personal grooming appliance exports.
