Amorepacific posts strong Q2 2026 profit and revenue growth
Amorepacific Group reported double‑digit revenue growth and a 53.3% rise in operating profit for the second quarter of 2026. Revenue increased 14.6% year‑on‑year to KRW 1.2543 trillion, while overseas sales rose 28% and overseas operating profit almost doubled. The gains were driven by robust domestic demand and accelerating expansion in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Japan, with flagship brands such as Sulwhasoo, HERA, AESTURA, ILLIYOON, LANEIGE and Mise‑en‑Scène delivering strong performance. Internationally, the company benefited from Amazon Prime Day sales and leading positions for COSRX in Germany, the UK and Japan.
The company also highlighted a shift in its consumer strategy toward Generation Alpha, noting that younger shoppers are influencing family beauty purchases. Amorepacific aims to simplify skincare routines for this cohort, focusing on safety, efficacy and education rather than product proliferation. Its long‑term “Create New Beauty” plan emphasizes global expansion, biotechnology‑led innovation, AI integration and organisational transformation.
