Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% reciprocal tariff on South Korea, impacting the K-Beauty industry. Despite this challenge, experts suggest that K-Beauty brands can maintain their market position in the U.S. due to their strong price and quality competitiveness. In 2020, K-Beauty surpassed France to become the top exporter to the U.S., with export figures reaching $1.7 billion. The industry's resilience in the face of this tariff is attributed to its cultural establishment in the U.S. market and strategic business practices that might mitigate consumer price increases.
