Spreading further to global regions is imperative for K-Beauty

Beauty and personal care in South Korea has reached maturity and forecast growth is not as appealing as in previous years. In this sense, K-Beauty needs to expand global coverage for future potential. Current K-Beauty stance is focused on the domestic market and some parts of Asia. The high concentration in Asian countries may lead to skewed product development and also leave brands vulnerable to external factors as political dispute.

J-Beauty and C-Beauty threaten K-Beauty’s uniqueness

Potential as well as limitation lies in K-Beauty’s spread globally. J-Beauty is picking up sales and C-Beauty is rising significantly. K-Beauty needs to grow out of selling the concept of Korean-style beauty routines. In order to grow further, K-Beauty manufacturers need to establish stronger brand power before K-Beauty’s fame fades.

Multiple sources need to be reviewed including retailing strategy

Brands need to look out for several factors when entering a new market.Focusing on the right retail channel by growing out of internet retailing is necessary for future growth. Using the right ingredients and marketing activities is also critical. Expansion in multiple categories exampled by baby and child-specific products and hair care is also needed for global penetration.

Understanding regional nuances and consumer preferences is critical

Different consumer behaviours and beauty routines are evident in each region.Preference in terms of product features differs due to many factors including consumers’ lifestyles, environments and regional trends. In order to reach out to each region for expansion, brands need to take account of different desired benefits in specific region to gain a unique selling point.
