Each month, TMO Group compiles data from Alibaba’s family of eCommerce platforms (including Taobao, Tmall, Tmall Global, and Tmall Supermarket) regarding sales of health supplements both domestically and across borders. This data is presented in a form that’s easier for English-speaking overseas companies and individuals to approach, with an array of charts and tables as well as translated terms.
February encountered the Spring Festival in China. Although affected by the epidemic, many people working away from home chose to go back and reunite with their families. During the Chinese New Year, most logistics companies are out of service with consumers’ enthusiasm for shopping online diminished. Although February is usually the trough month for the health supplement market, we still found that a few categories, products and brands stood out and achieved sales growth month-on-month.

The sales revenue in February this year is a bit higher on a year-over-year basis though it’s usually the lowest within the whole year. Among the subcategories, endocrine products have been selling well for months and Reap’s oyster tablet is the monthly best-selling product. Meanwhile, it shows an upward trend in the sales of eye products with lutein as the main ingredient. In addition, the sales of sleep management products are also quite good, and non-melatonin ingredients such as GABA and plant extracts are recognized and chosen by more consumers.
In terms of products’ country of origin, the monthly sales of products from US surpassed Australia in both volume and revenue in February. Consumers are familiar with and willing to buy from various American brands, covering a wider range of products and with higher unit prices. Among them, the contribution of Reaps is indispensable, and its monthly sales hit a new high, with a month-on-month increase of 96%. On the other side, when buying Australian products, people generally choose to buy from Swisse, Blackmores or Life Space.
Probiotic has been one of the most popular nutritional contents. Judging from the characteristics of best-selling products, some specific probiotics are favored by consumers, such as Lactobacillus, which is particularly important for women’s health, and Bifidobacterium B420, which can help with weight loss. Correspondingly, Princess Luna’s Vaginal Probiotic and Life Space’s Shape B420 Probiotic are regulars on the best-selling product list.
Regarding brands, Biowell from Singapore had an impressive performance in February. The brand is committed to the research and development of healthy, natural, safe and effective oral bioremediation products. Its star product, Biowell Citrus Polyphenol 211K, had a monthly sales volume of 20,000 pieces in February. The patented ingredients contained in the product can effectively break down fat and prevent fat accumulation.
