Cosmetics (K-beauty) · China-to-Americas pivot
Amorepacific
Amorepacific is Korea's largest cosmetics company, owner of Sulwhasoo, Laneige, Innisfree and Hera. Its earnings collapsed in 2021 to 2023 on China's slowdown and the informal Korean-content ban, then re-based in 2024 when the Americas overtook Greater China as its largest market for the first time. In 2025 Greater China swung back to profit while the Americas and EMEA grew double digits, delivering the highest operating profit in six years.
