South Korea Skin Care Market

South Korea is one of the top 10 beauty markets worldwide, known for its innovative technology, gentle ingredients, and attractive packaging. According to the Korea Customs Services statistics, skin care cosmetics were the largest import category in 2021, accounting for 34.17% or $560 million, of total cosmetic imports. In 2020, France ($433 million), the United States ($337 million), and Japan ($161 million) were the top three exporting nations to Korea individually.

One of the key growth drivers of the South Korea skin care market is the growing inclination toward natural and vegan skin care products. Korean clean skincare products frequently advertise the phrase ‘Zero Water,’ which denotes a high concentration of undiluted natural components. Besides, in certain instances, ‘zero water’ in K-Beauty natural skincare products may be nearly equivalent to ‘natural.’ Additionally, in Korea, purchasing vegan cosmetics is common, in contrast to many western countries where the concept of veganism is mostly applied to food.

However, the South Korea skin care market growth is hindered by declining Chinese consumer demands and changing distribution patterns brought on by sluggish domestic demand and heightened competition. The industry is shutting down branches as sales decline. Also, due to excessive packaging by several Korean brands, sustainability has become a significant problem in the skin care industry. Natural skincare products, particularly those bought online, are layered with numerous pointless layers, much like many other products. Such issues may hamper the market growth.
