France has long held the crown as the leading exporter of skincare, maintaining its position as the number one beauty exporter globally. But in a historic shift, 2024 saw South Korea overtake France as the top cosmetics exporter to the United States, with $1.71 billion in exports compared to France’s $1.26 billion. Korea’s surge has been consistent. In 2024, the country exported US $10.3 billion worth of cosmetics, surpassing Germany to rank third globally. Growth in Korean beauty exports far outpaced competitors, with a 20.3% year-on-year increase compared to France’s 6.3% and the US’s 1.1%.

The event gathered hundreds of beauty brands from around the world, showcasing everything from cutting-edge skincare technologies to the latest in hair and wellness innovations.
