Abstract

This study aims to generate baseline data for vitalizing the sales of functional cosmetics through an Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) of the selection attributes of functional cosmetics. From the analysis of consumers' selection criteria, the study will assist functional cosmetics companies in reflecting consumer demands and therefore securing competitiveness. For this, general consumers aged over 20 years were surveyed for 5 weeks from Feb 23 through Mar 30, 2015, and 447 empirical data (response rate 88.9%) were processed through SPSS WIN 21.0 program for analysis. To conduct gender difference analysis on the IPA of the selection attributes of functional cosmetics, 17 selection attributes were categorized into 4 factors: functionality, labeling, popularity, and product. Cronbach's alpha for all factors was 0.5, proving the internal consistency and reliability of the survey. The survey results showed that while the entire average came out significantly higher for females (5.89/7points) than for males (5.66/7points) (p<0.001), the selection attributes 'anti-wrinkling', 'whitening function', 'functionality', 'expiration date', 'full ingredient labeling system' and 'various promotional events' showed significant gender differences. IPA results pertaining to gender showed 'price', 'functionality', 'spreadability' and 'full ingredient labeling system' as 2nd quadrant attributes, whereas female consumers selected 'price', 'whitening function', 'anti-wrinkling', 'functionality' and 'full ingredient labeling system' as attributes. Results show that businesses in the field of cosmetics and related areas need to prioritize improving the following factors that received low satisfaction from all consumers: 'price', 'functionality', and 'total labeling.' In particular, the 'price' aspects are considered to require reasonable and affordable pricing.

본 연구는 국내 소비자들을 대상으로 기능성화장품 선택속성 항목의 중요도와 만족도를 실시하여 소비자들이 중요하게 생각하지만 만족도가 낮은 항목, 개선점 등을 분석하여 기능성화장품 개발 시 소비자들의 요구를 반영함으로써 화장품 시장에서의 경쟁력을 확보하고 판매 및 홍보활성화를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 서울 및 경기지역에 거주하고 있는 20대 이상 일반 소비자를 대상으로 2015년 2월 23일부터 3월 30일까지 5주간 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 447부(회수율 88.9%)의 실증자료를 얻어 SPSS WIN 21.0프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 논문은 성별에 따른 기능성 화장품 선택속성 항목의 중요도-만족도 분석에 관한 연구로서 요인분석 결과 17개의 속성을 총 4개의 요인(기능성 요인, 표시 요인, 홍보 요인, 제품 요인)으로 분류하였다. 또한, 각 요인들의 내적일관성을 검정한 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$값은 모두 0.5 이상으로 신뢰성을 확보한 것으로 나타났다. 성별에 따른 기능성화장품 선택속성 항목의 중요도와 만족도 차이 결과 중요도의 전체평균은 여성이 5.89점/7점으로 남성의 5.66점/7점보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났고(p<0.001), 남 여 간의 큰 차이를 보이는 속성들로 '주름개선', '미백기능', '기능성', '유통기한', '전성분표시제', '다양한 홍보' 등으로 나타났다. IPA분석 결과, 남성의 경우 II사분면의 항목으로는 '가격', '기능성', '발림성', '전성분표시제'로 나타났으며, 여성의 경우 '가격', '미백개선', '주름개선', '기능성', '전성분표시제'로 나타났다. 따라서 화장품 관련 업체 및 기업은 기능성화장품 개발 시 남 여 소비자가 공통적으로 만족도가 낮다고 응답한 '가격', '기능성', '전성분표시제' 항목에서 우선적으로 집중 개선해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 특히 '가격'적인 면에서는 합리적이고 경제적인 가격 책정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
