117、and collectively develops product formulas with these suppliers.We also maintain oversight and involvement throughout the product development cycle,from initial concept to final production.Our product development team works closely with our ODM providers,providing specifications,conducting quality c

120、of cosmetics and cosmetic raw materials.Current R&D Approach and Future Strategy.Our current product design and development approach primarily involves guiding the overall direction while engaging ODM providers to conduct detailed R&D and product design work.Under the strategic guidance of our produ
121、ct development team,we leverage the resources of ODM Providers.According to Frost&Sullivan,engaging ODM Providers for product design,development,and production is an established practice within the cosmetics industry.This approach allows companies to focus on core competencies such as branding,marke
122、ting,and overall product strategy while benefiting from the specialized capabilities of ODM partners.To enhance our in-house R&D capabilities,we have developed a comprehensive strategy aimed at strengthening our product innovation capabilities,competitive position,and long-term growth.This strategy

131、 our product presentations.Our commitment to creating a unique brand identity is reflected in our product aesthetics and packaging designs.These designs have developed through generations of proprietary molds,incorporating elements of Chinese architecture to deepen cultural resonance.As of December
132、31,2024,this approach to packaging has earned us 43 design patents and a Muse Design Award,evidencing our brands distinctiveness and sophistication.Our Product Design and Development Achievements.Our commitment to product design and development has yielded positive results.For example,based on our e

139、ent quality control standards,we have selectively partnered with reliable ODM/OEM providers for product production.We retain decisive authority over the products attributes,efficacy and aesthetic presentation in such partnership.Our efforts are concentrated on refining essential cosmetic parameters,
140、such as hue,oil-water balance,pliancy,viscosity and surfactant levels,to ensure our products suit the skin types and cosmetic needs and preferences of Chinese consumers.We also invest in the innovative packaging designs,engaging patterns,tactile experiences,creative narratives and tailored product f
141、orms to refine product appearances,captivating consumers and underscores the intrinsic value of our offerings.Through such strategic partnership with ODM/OEM providers,we implement specialized production and processing protocols that not only reinforce quality control but also encourage a competitiv
142、e dynamic among our ODM/OEM providers.We carefully consider a variety of factors when selecting ODM/OEM providers,including price,product quality,production capacity,delivery scheme,geographic position,financial condition and reputation.In addition,we adjust production volume by certain ODM/OEM prov
143、iders from time to time,which reduces our reliance on any single provider.In 2024,we engaged eight ODM/OEM providers for the production of our main products.We did not rely on any single ODM/OEM provider for the production of our core products.During the Reporting Period,we maintained good relations
144、hips with multiple ODM/OEM providers.However,in event that we need to engage a replacement service provider,there are sufficient ODM/OEM providers with comparable production capabilities.Our Production Expansion PlanWe plan to establish an in-house production base to build up our independent product
145、ion capacity.As of the date of this report,we had one production facility under construction in Hangzhou,China,which is expected to commence operation by mid-2026.This facility will focus on color cosmetics and skincare products,with a designed annual production capacity of approximately 15.4 millio
146、n units.Our in-house production strategy and R&D capabilities will gradually evolve through different stages.Initially,we will focus on accumulating research experience and filling and packaging semi-finished products to refine our process and establish a solid foundation for future production.In th
147、e next phase,we will transition to manufacturing and packaging of self-developed products,integrating our R&D efforts with the production processes.Leveraging our advanced R&D and production capabilities,we can gradually shift part of our outsourced production to in-house production.In the long run,
148、we will focus more on the production and packaging of our core products including our best-selling and self-developed skincare products and color cosmetics.We plan to retain in-house production and packaging of these core products to maintain quality control,safeguard intellectual property and enhan
149、ce our competitive edge,while outsourcing other products to ODM/OEM providers to optimize resource allocation and operational efficiency.Despite the upfront investment,we aim to maintain strict control over production costs and believe that the long-term benefits,including enhanced quality control,i
150、ntellectual property protection and greater innovation flexibility,would outweigh the initial investments,collectively strengthening our competitive edge and enabling swift responses to market trends.Additionally,with established Mao Geping Cosmetics Co.,Ltd.20MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISin-ho
