The Secret Behind the Impressive Rise of K-Beauty (part 1) K-Beauty has recently become a major global topic. As of the first half of 2024, South Korea has become the top cosmetic import country in advanced markets like the #UnitedStates and #Japan. Rising since the 2010s, K-Beauty initially gained recognition through #Kpop and #Kdramas, multiplying its annual revenue several times and expanding its presence. The global market size of K-Beauty is currently around 16.15 billion USD, with an annual export value of 7.69 billion USD as of 2023. Let’s first look at the U.S. The trending beauty look in the U.S. right now is the glossy, radiant "Glass Skin." And surprisingly, it was K-Beauty that sparked this "Glass Skin" trend. #KBeauty focused on skincare as its primary target in the U.S., where preferences for makeup styles differ from those in Korea. A key factor in this strategy was influencer marketing via social media. Platforms like #TikTok and Amazon played pivotal roles, where influencers showcased impactful before-and-after videos to demonstrate product effectiveness. These videos not only captured attention but also simplified the purchasing process. Utilizing the term #GlassSkin, which instantly conveys an image of clear and luminous skin, was a particularly brilliant strategy.

We've just read a fascinating article about K-beauty's continued global influence on the Premium Beauty News website. South Korea has become the world's fourth largest cosmetics exporter, rivalling Germany and outpacing Italy. K-Beauty's success stems from its focus on innovative products, affordable pricing and the famous 10-step Korean skincare ritual that has been much-discussed by beauty influencers. It's also interesting to see how K-beauty is reshaping Western markets. For example, French pharmacies are becoming major stockists, while specialist retailers like Oh My Cream !! are expanding their Korean ranges. As the industry keeps evolving, there's growing focus on darker skin tones and haircare, which are also propelling the K-Beauty movement. Its success seems particularly driven by social media (especially TikTok), appealing to 18-35 year olds with preventative skincare approaches.
