Amorepacific Group reported double-digit growth in both sales and operating profit for the second quarter of this year, driven by strong performance in key domestic and international markets.
On July 30, Amorepacific Group announced that its consolidated sales for the second quarter reached 1.2543 trillion won, with operating profit at 122.8 billion won. These figures represent increases of 14.6% and 53.3%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.
In the domestic market, key product categories such as luxury, dermacosmetics, and hair care experienced steady growth. Notably, online and multi-brand shop (MBS) channels saw double-digit growth, contributing to improved performance. The operating profit margin for domestic operations also reached around 10%.
Internationally, the company continued to grow in key markets, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Japan. In EMEA, COSRX ranked first in the beauty category on Amazon in Germany and the UK, while in Japan, it was recognized as the top brand in the first half of the 'Qoo10 Japan Mega Beauty Awards 2026.'
Amorepacific, the group's flagship subsidiary, saw its sales and operating profit increase by 17% and 59%, respectively, driving overall group performance. Domestic sales rose by 10%, with operating profit up by 48%.
By brand, Sulwhasoo and Hera showed strong sales across major channels, while AESTURA, led by its 'Atobarrier 365' line, demonstrated significant growth in MBS and online channels.
The overseas business expanded its global growth base, with sales increasing by 28% and operating profit soaring by 99%. The performance in North America and EMEA was particularly strong, while Japan and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets also showed solid growth across key online and offline channels. In North America, AESTURA's 'Atobarrier 365 Cream' achieved triple-digit sales growth through Amazon and Sephora channels.
Conversely, brands such as Innisfree, Etude, Espoir, and Amos Professional experienced declines in sales and operating profit due to channel efficiency measures. However, Osulloc continued to grow, benefiting from increased online gift set sales and rising revenue from its Matcha Station and Matcha Noodle Bar at the Jeju Tea Museum.
An Amorepacific Group representative stated, "We are committed to leading the global beauty and wellness industry through our mid- to long-term vision, 'Create New Beauty.' To achieve this, we are focusing on five strategic initiatives: nurturing key global markets, enhancing integrated beauty solutions, advancing bio-technology-based anti-aging research and development, fostering agile organizational innovation, and transitioning to AI-driven operations."
