Global K-Beauty Products Market Outlook

The global K-beauty products market size reached approximately USD 12.39 billion in 2023. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% between 2024 and 2032 to attain a value of around USD 23.62 billion by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

K-beauty, variously known as Korean beauty, is a phenomenon that is characterised by a focus on effective formulas and natural ingredients to improve skin health. Some of the leading ingredients used in K-beauty products are rice water, green tea, and ginseng, among others.

 

  • South Korea has emerged as a significant soft power and the popularity of Korean culture across the world has boomed in recent years, buoyed by surging interest in Korean pop music (K-pop) and Korean soap operas (K-dramas). Hence, the flourishing Korean wave and increasing endorsements of skincare and cosmetics by renowned Korean celebrities are fuelling the K-beauty products market demand.
  • The growing skin consciousness and increasing concerns regarding the negative impact on the skin due to rising pollution, especially among the young population, are boosting the usage of K-beauty products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and focus on nourishing and hydrating the skin. To capitalise on this trend, various companies in Western countries are also launching their range of Korean cosmetics and skincare products to target the growing millennials and Gen-Zs.
  • Innovative digital marketing strategies adopted by key players are also aiding the K-beauty products market growth. In addition, colourful packaging as well as demonstrations and reviews on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are also attracting customers towards Korean skincare and cosmetics.
  • Some prominent K-beauty products market trends include surging investments in R&D activities and innovations by key players. Manufacturers are increasingly attempting to incorporate natural and organic ingredients that can nourish and protect the skin while offering benefits like sun protection, brightening, and anti-ageing.
  • In the forecast period, the rising trend of personalisation and customisation is likely to support the market development. Companies are actively deploying technologies like big data analysis and artificial intelligence to diagnose and analyse the skincare requirements of customers and provide personalised products to customers accordingly.

Besides, the K-beauty products market expansion is further propelled by the growing digitisation of the cosmetics sector, fuelling the usage of technologies such as AR (augmented reality) mirrors to help customers virtually test makeup.
