HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 March 2025 – YesAsia Holdings Limited (“YesAsia Holdings”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (02209.HK), a leading e-commerce platform operator recognized for its expertise in identifying and procuring quality Asian beauty and lifestyle products, announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the “Year”).
The Group’s revenue rose by 71.7% to US$345.78 million, owed mainly to the notable contribution from beauty products via the YesStyle Platforms and AsianBeautyWholesale (“ABW“). Gross profit increased by 68.1% to US$105.39 million, and gross profit margin remained stable at 30.5%. As a result, profit for the Year reached US$19.04 million, a 1.5 times leap, and net profit margin improved by 1.7 percentage points to 5.5%. Basic earnings per share were US4.74 cents (2023: US1.91 cents).
As at 31 December 2024, the Group was in a healthy financial position with bank and cash balance and unutilized bank facilities amounting to US$39.82 million (2023: US$31.83 million), laying for it a solid foundation for future development. To reward shareholders for their long-standing support, the Board of Directors has recommended payment of a final dividend of HK7.5 cents per share (2023: HK5 cents per share).
Enhancing Logistics and Marketing Capabilities to Support Global Expansion
The Group has made market diversification its priority for meeting rising global demand for Asian beauty products, as well as for securing multi-regional revenue streams to help it mitigate geopolitical and trade risks on its performance. The approach has yielded exponential growth in non-core markets, which accounted for 50.2% of the Group’s total revenue during the Year, increasing by 117.0% and outpacing the revenue growth of core English-speaking markets (the US, UK, Australia, and Canada) for the second consecutive year. Key drivers included the robust demand in European hubs like France and Germany, and emerging regions such as Latin America and the Middle East, where appetite for Asian beauty products has been rapidly rising.
To fuel expansion, the Group enhanced its marketing capabilities across 40 European countries, 19 Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, and 25 Arabic-speaking countries. YesStyle Platforms bolstered localization efforts to ensure seamless access for its diverse global consumer base. An Arabic-language website was launched, expanding its multilingual support to eight languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, English, and Chinese. A dedicated regional office in Berlin, Germany further strengthened on-the-ground marketing, combining European and Arabic language expertise to drive regional engagement. Moreover, the Group optimized its global logistics network across Hong Kong, the US, and Europe, enabling faster, cost-effective delivery worldwide while advancing supply chain agility. A second autonomous mobile robotics (AMR) warehouse in Hong Kong, slated for operation in April 2025, will become the Group’s largest automated facility, set to help improve operational efficiency and flexibility.
Bridging Asian Beauty Demand through Expanded B2C-B2B Networks
The Group’s B2C and B2B segments both delivered robust performance in 2024, with the latter deemed as a key future growth driver. YesStyle Platforms solidified the market-leading position as the most-visited platform for Asian beauty products in major overseas markets, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Greece, Belgium, Mexico, Chile, Peru, United Arab Emirates and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 1 Three major sales campaigns mounted in 2024 were significant sales boosters, lifting average sales quantity up by between 300% to over 2,000%. In total, nine seasonal campaigns, including the three proven, have been planned for 2025, to reinforce the platforms’ capacity to engage global beauty enthusiasts. The YesStyle Influencer Program generated US$73.29 million in referral revenue and launched a comprehensive account management service. Twenty brands joined this Year to benefit from content creation and ongoing engagement for optimal brand alignment and audience reach.
Building on the success of its B2C business, the Group strategically expanded ABW‘s operation during the Year to capture soaring wholesale demand for Asian beauty products. Enhancement initiatives included establishing dedicated teams serving various clients to facilitate wholesale orders of different requirements, as well as partnerships with high-street retail chains to strengthen the visibility of Asian beauty brands in offline retail spaces. One of the alliances ABW formed this Year was with Kiokii Inc., a leading Canadian beauty chain, marking its formal entry into the offline retail market in North America. ABW not only supplied them with the latest seasonal products but also supported their marketing plans with big data analytics. These efforts brought measurable growth in the early stage of expansion of B2B business, with customer numbers rising 3.6%, orders surging 50.8%, and average order size swelling 32.7% year-on-year, reflective of its strong scalability and potential to become one of the pillars to support the Group’s long-term growth.
Mr. Joshua Lau, Founder, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The global passion for Asian beauty, led by K-beauty, is currently riding a rising tide. As a market leader, YesAsia is accelerating strategic investments to tap that growth momentum. Our second smart warehouse to start operation in April 2025 will redefine speed and scale for us, and our B2B expansion efforts will unlock new partnerships. Innovation gives us the drive, but agility is what defines us. We will address broader market uncertainties by maintaining vigilance and adjusting strategies as needed. Supported by established partnerships with K-beauty brands, a clear global roadmap, and diversified risk-management plans, we are poised to seize opportunities and create value for shareholders and stakeholders over the long term.”

2nd MOTIFX – Embracing the Beauty of Chinese Culture Culture to Nature – A Surreal Garden of Botanical Patterns
Organised by the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) under the Vocational Training Council (VTC) and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), MOTIFX invites emerging designers to reinterpret traditional Chinese motifs for contemporary contexts, seamlessly integrating historical patterns into modern objects, interiors, and lifestyle products while deepening new generations’ engagement with their cultural heritage.
The 2nd MOTIFX – Embracing the Beauty of Chinese Culture invites designers to explore the mystical side of Chinese characters, with a particular focus on Radical Grass (艹 / 艸) and its evocative connection to a surreal world of nature. While respectfully acknowledging the cultural and philosophical differences between Eastern and Western traditions, the project embraces nature’s whimsy and dreamlike beauty with open delight
This inspiration gives birth to the central theme: Culture to Nature – A Surreal Garden of Botanical Patterns. Curated by Michael LEUNG, the exhibition brings together numerous design students and local designers who are in studies across diverse disciplines to rediscover the vibrant potential of Chinese characters. In doing so, it redefines the relationship between cultural heritage and the natural world, resulting in an imaginative collection of patterns and design works that vividly capture the theme.
A key highlight is the immersive installation Surreal Garden, created by designers Moon.noon and Stickyline. Inspired by “Radical Grass” motifs designed by these young creatives, the duo transforms two-dimensional patterns into a multi-sensory experience. Visitors move seamlessly from the physical space into a digital dreamscape, journeying through the four seasons guided by the 24 traditional solar terms — from the blossoming of spring to the retreat of winter — tracing the boundless rhythms of nature.
This surreal journey continues throughout the exhibition, which showcases over 100 original patterns created by local design students, each derived from the 艹 radical. Like countless flowers blooming in a shared field, these works express diverse creative voices, yet all are rooted in the same ancient, ever-living origin — the enduring 艹 .
DesignInspire 2025 was transformed into this fantastical garden woven from Chinese characters and nature’s boundless poetry — and let your imagination take flight.
Curator: Michael LEUNG
Born in Hong Kong, Michael LEUNG earned his Master’s degree from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, where he later founded Studio AA (previously MIRO). His practice spans graphic, product, and spatial design, often exploring the intersections of craftsmanship and industry, local culture, and sustainability. Recipient of the Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award and Perspective 40 Under 40, his work has been showcased at Milan Design Week, Dutch Design Week, and other major international exhibitions. In recent years, he has collaborated with institutions such as the Vitra Design Museum (Germany) and the V&A (UK), extending his creative vision into exhibition curation.
Participating Artist: Moon.noon
Moon.noon (KONG Fan-leung) is a real-time visual artist who masterfully blends data-driven storytelling with immersive audio-visual and sensory experiences. A former user-experience designer, he now transforms complex sources — climate data, urban landscapes, audience interaction — into powerfully evocative visual languages. His works have appeared at M+, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, West Kowloon Freespace Jazz Festival, and in collaborations with Coca-Cola, LG, and Samsung.
Participating Artist: STICKYLINE
Founded in 2011 by Hong Kong creative artists Mic LEONG and Soilworm LAI, STICKYLINE is celebrated for its large-scale polyhedral sculptures that reveal the beauty of creative engineering, mathematics, and geometry. Working primarily with paper and metal, and integrating kinetics, sound, and light, the duo produces minimalist, durable, and strikingly futuristic installations, site-specific works, and private commissions that have earned widespread acclaim in the design world over the years.
Moroso × HKDI Furniture Collaboration Project
The exhibition showcases a creative collaboration between renowned Italian luxury furniture brand Moroso and design students from the HKDI’s Department of Architecture, Interior and Product Design (AIP). Together, they present the forward-looking project with MOTIFX patterns printed on the fabrics to “Designing Clothes for Furniture Objects.”
This initiative reimagines furniture as living bodies to be dressed, where textiles and soft elements become expressive garments. Moving beyond surface aesthetics, students explore adaptability, sensory depth, and emotional resonance, while engaging with ideas of circularity, modularity, and service-oriented design. The design challenge invites them to create interchangeable and upgradeable “furniture garments” that respond to personal habits, environments, and even special occasions.
