Global Expansion Japan – Marketing Plan
Presented by Group 1 Marketing Team – Bill, Brady, Christina, Ray, Pawan & Zia

2

Executive Summary
The Global prestige skin care market accounts for $2.25B in annual consumer spending. Asia
Pacific and Japan markets account for 80% of total global sales ($1.8B). Currently, P&G accounts for approximately 22% of the global beauty product market share.

The GLT’s aggressive goal of doubling sales in the next five years, coupled with the potential opportunity to serve a currently un-tapped market segment, suggests P&G should leverage the already developed momentum in the Japanese beauty care market as a source of hypergrowth. Group 1 estimates current SK-II sales of $150 million can be doubled in next five years by focusing on growing the Japanese prestige skin care market.

Technical product innovations and the introduction of new SK-II product lines such as antiaging care, skin-whitening products, skin-cleansing and skin-nourishing products, in concert with greater consumer awareness and skin care education campaigns, P&G can greatly expand the Japan market opportunity. Group 1 estimate P&G can significantly improve the
SK-II growth rate from current 5% per annum to approximately 20% per annum in two years by incorporating the aforementioned campaigns into the target markets segments.

This plan deals in detail the analysis of different global markets and choice of Japan for further expansion in the premium skin care market, and how this expansion can be leveraged as a launch pad to global expansion into Europe and new Asia-Pac market such as Malaysia, China,
Singapore & Indonesia.

    Paramount Health and Beauty wants to launch a new razor into the market currently referred to as “Clean Edge.” The project team recommends that the company should position the product as a distinct mainstream product, dubbing it “Clean Edge by Paramount” in order to produce growth in sales from new product innovation. The importance of placing the product in a mainstream position is to successfully launch an innovative product creating more market share for Paramount and for Clean Edge to become the most sought out razor in the industry. Failing to take this route and deciding to position the product in a niche would only give the new product a limited amount of consumers, preventing Clean Edge from reaching its full potential in sales and market share.…
