Amid a recovery in China's consumer services sector, So-Young International Inc. announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026. According to reports, the company achieved a significant increase in total revenues, which reached approximately RMB432.8 million, compared to RMB297.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. This robust performance reflects the company's ability to strengthen its position in the aesthetic medicine market during the reported fiscal period.
This growth comes at a time when the Chinese retail sector faces mixed challenges, as market data showed a slowdown in annual retail sales which grew by only 0.2% in May, missing forecasts of 2% per market data (close May 18, 2026). Despite the general weakness in consumer spending, So-Young managed to outperform broader market trends, suggesting resilient demand in the specialized beauty sector compared to traditional consumer goods.
