This has brought many international stores into these growing economies. In places like India, China, Japan, Malaysia, and South Africa, existing stores are growing, and new ones are opening. This expansion of stores is helping the market for children's cosmetics to grow. In China, especially in cities like Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai, and in Japan, many new retailers have entered the market due to the economic growth in these countries. Singapore, in South-East Asia, is also attracting retailers who offer a variety of products all in one place. This is helping the market for children's cosmetics to grow. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India's retail market is expected to grow by 60%, reaching USD 1.1 trillion by the end of 2020.
