Brand Profile
蓝月亮(Bluemoon) emerged during a period of rapid development in China’s daily chemical industry. Since its founding in 1992, the brand has maintained a long-term focus on washing and household cleaning sectors. Through product research and development, consumer education, and channel construction, it has steadily established its market position.
The official positioning of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) is:
“A household cleaning solution provider driven by innovation and centered on consumers.”
Its vision is to create an environment for family living that is “clean, healthy, comfortable, dignified, and happy,” while its mission is to help consumers achieve “worry-free cleanliness” through products, services, and professional consulting.
The two most widely recognized categories for the brand are:
- Laundry Liquid
- Hand Soap
Building on this foundation, the company has expanded its portfolio to include:
- Garment Cleaning & Care
- Personal Cleaning & Care
- Home Cleaning & Care
According to official introductions as of 2024, the product system covers nearly 100 types of products.
Founding and Early Development
The founder and key entrepreneur behind 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) is Luo Qiuping. A graduate of the Department of Chemistry at Wuhan University, Luo entered the daily chemical industry to engage in the R&D and sales of washing products. He began his career in China’s daily chemical sector in 1988, founded the 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) brand in 1992, and assumed the role of President of the Blue Moon Group starting in 1994.3
This background significantly influenced the corporate culture of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon). Rather than being a consumer brand built solely on marketing, it has consistently emphasized chemical technology, formula R&D, product performance, and washing methods. Consequently, “technology” and “washing professionalism” remain central elements of the brand narrative.
Key Milestone: The 2008 Laundry Liquid Transition
One of the most critical years in the history of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) was 2008. At that time, the Chinese laundry market was still dominated by washing powder, with laundry liquid accounting for less than 4% of the market share. Recognizing the advantages of laundry liquid—such as easy dissolution, easy rinsing, and relative mildness—the brand launched a nationwide campaign to promote its use.
This marked a turning point in the brand’s history, effectively completing a significant process of consumer education: shifting habits from “how to use washing powder” to “how to wash with laundry liquid”. In essence, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) did not just launch a new product; it promoted a new method of laundry. Officially, the brand often describes 2008 as the beginning of China’s laundry “Liquid Era.”
It is important to note from a strict industry history perspective that the “Laundry Liquid Era” was not created by a single enterprise alone but was influenced by various domestic and international brands, manufacturers, and broader consumption upgrade trends. A more accurate description of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon)’s role is that of one of the key promoters of the mass adoption and scaling of laundry liquid in China.
Product Segmentation: From General to Specific
After 2008, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) did not stop at offering a single type of laundry liquid. Starting around 2011, the brand successively introduced specialized products for different scenarios and user groups, including:
- Hand-wash specific laundry liquid
- Baby-specific laundry liquid
- Travel-specific laundry liquid
- Professional products for different fabrics and usage scenarios
The underlying business logic involved further segmenting the original “mass-market laundry liquid” into distinct categories based on scenarios and demographics. This represented a shift from one generic laundry liquid to specialized washing products tailored to specific needs. This “dedicated product for dedicated use” approach later became a significant trend in product segmentation within China’s daily chemical industry.
Innovation: Concentrated Laundry Liquid (2015)
The second major product innovation for 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) occurred in 2015. The company launched the “Supreme” (Jizun) concentrated laundry liquid, featuring a metered pump-head packaging.
The characteristic of this product was not merely that the liquid was more concentrated, but that it aimed to change how consumers used laundry liquid:
Changing the question from “How much should I pour?” to “How many pumps should I press?”
Official data indicates that during the R&D process, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) conducted large-scale consumer surveys, designed over 1,000 formulas, and performed more than 10,000 tests to finalize the pump-head metering design.
According to the brand, compared to national standard laundry liquids, the usage amount for this product could be reduced by more than two-thirds. Additionally, it employed a low-foam formula to reduce the number of rinsing cycles required.
This also reflected a strategic shift for the brand:
Moving from “selling laundry liquid to consumers” to “redesigning the laundry experience.”
Biotechnology Laundry Liquid (2018)
In 2018, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) further launched the “Supreme” Biotechnology Laundry Liquid. This series emphasized:
- Biological stain removal
- Anti-soil redeposition
- Fiber conditioning
- Garment care
The goal extended beyond simply “getting clothes clean” to simultaneously addressing long-term care issues such as yellowing, greying, and aging of fabrics.
This evolution reflects a change in the brand’s product positioning:
Cleaning → Efficient Cleaning → Garment Care → Comprehensive Home Cleaning.
Hand Soap Business
While many consumers today associate 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) primarily with laundry liquid, hand soap is actually another very important core category for the brand.
In 2000, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) launched Aloe Vera Antibacterial Hand Soap, differentiating itself through designs such as transparent packaging. Subsequently, the company developed:
- Kitchen hand soap
- Children’s hand soap
- Vitamin E moisturizing hand soap
- Amino acid hand wash lotion
- Foaming antibacterial hand soap
- No-rinse antibacterial hand soap
- Automatic hand sanitizers
Thus, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) was relatively early in implementing demographic and scenario-based segmentation in the hand soap market.
Product Matrix
Currently, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon)’s offerings can be broadly categorized into three segments:
1. Garment Cleaning & Care
This is the core business of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon), including:
- Standard laundry liquid

Corporate Philosophy

Consumer-Centric
The company emphasizes starting from consumer needs rather than purely from production capabilities.
Technology
Enhancing cleaning efficiency through formulas, washing technologies, concentration techniques, and product design.

The current core value statement is:
“Excellence for Users.”
Simultaneously, the company uses the phrase “Wholeheartedly dedicated to washing” to summarize its professionalism.
Brand and Consumer Education
A distinctive strategy of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) is “Washing Knowledge Education.”

- How to wash correctly
- How to handle different stains
- How to care for different fabrics
- How much laundry liquid to use
- How to clean washing machines

This means 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) effectively manages two assets simultaneously:
Washing Products + Washing Knowledge.
This is a highly recognizable strategy among traditional daily chemical brands.

蓝月亮(Bluemoon) also stated that in 2026, its laundry liquid and hand soap received the C-BPI “Gold Brand” title.
Note: These figures represent third-party/industry statistical standards cited by the brand officially and do not necessarily equate to being ranked first under all possible market metrics. Different organizations define “market share,” “comprehensive market share,” and “brand power” differently.
Listing: From Private Enterprise to Public Company
2020 marked another major milestone in the corporate history of 蓝月亮(Bluemoon).
On December 16, 2020, Blue Moon Group officially listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong with the stock code:
06993
The issue price was HKD 13.16 per share, with approximately 747 million shares offered globally.
This listing made 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) one of the representative Hong Kong-listed companies among large Chinese daily chemical enterprises.
Post-listing, the company began disclosing information in a more public and standardized manner, covering:
- Financial performance
- Corporate governance
- ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)
- Board structure
- Shareholder status
- Capital expenditure
- R&D
- Risk factors
Thus, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) evolved further from a typical Chinese consumer brand into a publicly listed company.
Corporate Governance
As of the latest records, key members of the board include:
- Pan Dong: Chairman of the Board, Executive Director, and Chief Technology Officer
- Luo Qiuping: Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer

Financial Performance
蓝月亮(Bluemoon) is now a large-scale listed consumer goods enterprise.

Compared to 2023, revenue increased from approximately HKD 7.324 billion to HKD 8.556 billion in 2024, although the company recorded a loss for the year.
It is worth noting that revenue growth does not guarantee profit growth. As a mature FMCG enterprise, 蓝月亮(Bluemoon) faces multiple factors including raw material prices, channel costs, marketing expenses, product mix, and industry competition.
The annual report for 2025 was disclosed to the HKEX in April 2026. Therefore, investment-level analysis should consider the full 2025 annual report rather than relying solely on brand recognition.
