The popularity of K-pop and Korean dramas has significantly influenced global beauty trends, with consumers embracing the beauty routines and products used by their favorite K-pop idols and actors. For instance, multi-step skincare routines, which Korean beauty emphasizes, have gained commendable popularity in recent years. Also, products like sleeping packs, sheet masks, BB, and CC creams have become a trend, with several companies foraying into these categories.
 

K-beauty has gained popularity through celebrity endorsements and influencer marketing, creating a strong presence on social media platforms. For instance, in 2022, Selena Gomez partnered with the K-beauty brand Glow Recipe. She promoted the brand's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops, a lightweight serum that is said to hydrate and brighten the skin. K-beauty products promote self-care and wellness, which have gained significance, especially during times of stress and uncertainty.
 

However, different countries have varying regulations and standards for cosmetic products. K-beauty brands looking to expand globally must ensure compliance with diverse regulatory requirements, including ingredient safety and labeling standards. K-beauty brands may face stiff competition from these established players.

On the one hand, with people spending more time at home and focusing on self-care, there was an increased interest in skincare and beauty routines, leading to a surge in demand for K-beauty products known for their innovative and effective formulations. Online sales of K-beauty products witnessed significant progression as consumers shifted to e-commerce for their beauty needs during lockdowns. However, with disruptions in the supply chain and reduced consumer spending in some regions, the K-beauty industry also faced challenges.
