The upswing in the forecast phase can be linked to the rise in organic skincare products, the publicity of products concocted with distinctive ingredient formulas and digital marketing approaches, heightening acknowledgment via social media, beauty trendsetters, and celebrity endorsements. Key trends during the forecast period consist of a growing curiosity in eco-friendly and sustainable beauty items, synergies and cooperations, increasing capital injections by firms, and product revolutions.
The burgeoning interest in natural and organic skincare is set to fuel the expansion of the K-beauty products market. These natural and organic skincare products are composed of elements derived straight from nature, such as wildlife, minerals, and on occasions, animal derivatives. K-beauty products frequently incorporate such natural, organic and mild formulations which are compatible with all kinds of skin, including those that are sensitive. An example of this trend was observable in September 2023, as reported by the International Trade Administration (ITA), a government agency based in the United States. In this report, it was shown that Thailand's beauty products market, which was valued at $4.2 billion in 2022, had skincare products representing 60% of the total worth. The skincare market itself, valued at $2.5 billion, anticipated a yearly growth of 7% in 2023, with organic products contributing to a significant 20-25% of this growth. This was observed alongside a 71% surge in the sales of makeup items, especially lipsticks and foundations, in comparison to the year 2022. Therefore, the K-beauty products market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for natural and organic skincare.
