South Korea Skin Care Products Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The South Korea skin care products market reached around USD 9.69 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.60% between 2025 and 2034, reaching almost USD 16.71 Billion by 2034.
South Korea Skin Care Products Market Growth
There is a growing preference for natural ingredients, which impart a glassy and dewy look to the skin. This has bolstered the popularity of black fermented rice in major skin care products in South Korea, such as toners and hair oil. Heartleaf, a traditional herb with rich anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also finds popularity in products for treating acne.
As consumers seek professional skin care treatments within their homes, the demand for innovative skincare tools which can enhance skin texture and glow is expected to record an upward trajectory. LED masks have become a unique solution for customers seeking self-empowering beauty products because they stimulate blood circulation and reduce the appearance of acne on the skin. Devices which facilitate skincare product absorption by making passageways within the skin are expected to remain exceedingly popular over the forecast period.
Technological advancements have enhanced the efficacy of barrier repair products on the skin. The emergence of multi-lamellar emulsion (MLE) technology has boosted the moisture lock capabilities of skincare products, which is leading to a healthier consumer complexion. MLE acts as an additional protective cover on the skin’s natural layer of lipids, which is driving its demand among consumers.
