competition in the cosmetics business, where companies such as Sukin and Cocoon are
formidable rivals. Despite having a strong track record of innovation, a devoted clientele,
and well-established brand recognition, M.O.I. recognizes that there is still room for

used to bring greater efficiency to all fields including the beauty and cosmetics
industry. (Duc Khuong, 2021)
Not only produced at the largest factory in Asia, Ho Ngoc Ha cosmetics also
apply advanced and outstanding technology to each product. Some outstanding
technologies include:
* Nanotechnology is applied to M.O.I Baby Skin Powder. With nanotechnology,

the world. People know how to create products to serve the needs and desires of
becoming more beautiful. For example, shampoo products from soapberry,
grapefruit, lemongrass, etc. Not only stop at taking advantage of natural
ingredients, people also know how to create chemicals to support the creation of
products. New products, faster efficiency, cheaper price because natural materials
are finite resources. In recent years, people have gradually switched their

skin cancer, harm to the environment, etc. Besides, the consumption habits of
Vietnamese people are also gradually changing. positive way. In previous years,

many issues such as environmental issues and protection. animal welfare.
However, today, with outstanding development, people are gradually improving
their knowledge in all aspects, they pay attention to thoroughly understanding
product information and know how to consider making appropriate choices for
health and the environment. and human values. (Thanh Nien Article, 2019)
Nowadays, not only women but also men care more about their appearance. They
no longer hold the notion that "Beauty is only for women", now everyone is equal
in all aspects and needs are the same. Furthermore, the living environment is
increasingly filled with dust and pollution, which affects human health and
beauty. (Phu Nu article, 2023)

as the number of men using cosmetics is increasing.
3.4 Environmental factor:
Vietnam is an agricultural country, with advantages in raw material sources
(coffee, cocoa butter and other materials). The humid tropical monsoon climate,
3/4 mountainous terrain and basalt red soil create favorable conditions for
growing crops and creating good quality raw materials at reasonable prices. (Bao
Chinh Phu, 2018)
The terrain connecting provinces and cities in the country by road, sea and air is
strongly developed. Create favorable conditions for transporting products and raw
materials from the place of production to M.O.I's cosmetics factory. In addition,
the circulation and distribution of products to provinces and cities across the
country also becomes easier and faster thanks to the developed transportation
network.
Challenges: Besides the above advantages, difficulties still exist when every year
Vietnam experiences floods, storms, erosion, and landslides. This causes huge
losses to farmers and also affects the process of providing raw materials to create
products. (Yen Bai Article, 2023)
Opportunity: Natural environment creates conditions for development

3.6 Population factor:
Currently, Vietnam's population is more than 98 million people, of which the male
and female population ratio is approximately equal. The Vietnamese consumer
market with 20 million women between the ages of 15 and 39, accounting for
about 40% of the female population, is an extremely fertile segment full of
potential, according to a report on the Vietnamese cosmetics market by Kantar
company. Worldpanel has just announced that 80% of urban consumers buy at
least one beauty care product in a year, ¼ of spending in the personal care
industry is spent on beauty products. Accordingly, our country's population is
forecast to continue to increase but slow down due to many influencing factors
(one of which is the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic). According to Mr. Nguyen
Van Tan - Former Deputy Director General, currently in charge of the General
Department of Population and Family Planning, in addition to the fertility gap
between regions, the gender gap is increasing, forecast to be 2.3 percent short by
2050. - 4.3 million women. (Quang Vinh, 2022)
According to the results of the Census, Vietnam's population is aging at an
unprecedented rate. The whole country has 11.4 million elderly people aged 60
and over, accounting for 11.86% of the total population, and the aging index
increased from 35.9% in 2009 to 48.8% in 2019. This data predicts that in the
future the number of young people will decrease significantly, which is the main
force that creates wealth and consumption for society. The aging issue will have a
great impact on the development of society and consumption in general, including
the field of cosmetic consumption. Because young people are the main customers
in the cosmetics industry because they care more about their appearance than
older people. (Thai An, 2020)
In the future, these problems can be resolved if the State can implement
appropriate policies and solutions to bring effectiveness to Vietnam's population
policy in general and the economy as a whole.

effectively, they can create enormous pressure on the economy, not least the
natural cosmetics industry.

segment accounting for about 40% of the total female population.
Challenge: The population is aging rapidly, and older people do not pay much
attention to cosmetics
