1. Introduction

1.1 Research Background

South Korea has long been a global leader in the beauty industry, with a mature beauty market and a profound beauty culture. As the core group of high-end consumption in South Korea, UHNWIs not only pursue material wealth accumulation but also pay more attention to lifestyle refinement and personal image management, making beauty consumption an indispensable part of their daily lives. According to data from the Korea Institute of Finance and Pridebay’s preliminary survey, as of the end of 2025, the number of UHNWIs in South Korea (net worth over 30 billion KRW) reached 12,800, an increase of 8.3% compared with 2024. Among them, 92% of UHNWIs have regular beauty consumption habits, and their annual per capita beauty consumption exceeds 50 million KRW, which is 15 times the average level of South Korea’s high-net-worth population.

In 2025, the global beauty industry is accelerating its transformation and upgrading, with the rise of new consumption concepts such as clean beauty, customized beauty, and technological beauty, and the continuous enrichment of product and service forms. Against this background, South Korea’s UHNWIs’ beauty consumption concepts are also constantly evolving: they are no longer limited to basic skin care and makeup, but pay more attention to the efficacy, safety, and exclusivity of products and services, and pursue a personalized and professional beauty experience. Unlike ordinary consumers, UHNWIs have strong purchasing power, high consumption demands, and obvious brand loyalty, and their consumption trends often lead the development direction of the high-end beauty market. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to conduct in-depth research on the beauty consumption status and trends of South Korea’s UHNWIs in 2025, which can provide important reference for the high-quality development of the global high-end beauty industry.

3. Beauty Consumption Characteristics of South Korea’s UHNWIs in 2025

3.2.2 Diversification of Consumption Scenarios

UHNWIs’ beauty consumption scenarios are becoming more diversified, no longer limited to home and beauty salons. On the one hand, they pay attention to daily beauty maintenance at home, purchasing high-end beauty instruments and professional skincare products to carry out simple beauty care; on the other hand, they are willing to participate in high-end beauty events, beauty workshops, and private beauty parties, not only to obtain professional beauty guidance but also to expand social circles.

However, UHNWIs still pay attention to offline experience: 87% of them said that they will go to offline brand stores or beauty institutions to experience products and services before purchasing, and offline channels are still the main channel for high-end beauty services.

3.3.1 Preference for Brands with Rich Connotation and Historical Heritage

UHNWIs pay more attention to the brand connotation and historical heritage when choosing beauty brands. 85% of the respondents said that they prefer brands with a long history, mature technology, and unique brand culture.

4.1.2 Lack of Personalized Products for Specific Groups

Although customized beauty is popular, there is still a lack of personalized products for specific groups of UHNWIs. 58% of the respondents said that it is difficult to find products suitable for their specific skin conditions (such as sensitive skin, severe anti-aging needs) and physical characteristics (such as post-pregnancy skin changes, skin problems caused by long-term work pressure). Most high-end beauty products are mass-produced, and it is difficult to fully meet the personalized needs of UHNWIs.

Especially in the medical beauty field, some institutions without professional qualifications carry out medical beauty projects, which brings safety risks to UHNWIs.

4.2.2 Lack of Exclusive and Private Service Experience

UHNWIs pay great attention to the exclusivity and privacy of beauty services, but many high-end beauty institutions cannot meet this demand. 57% of the respondents said that the beauty salons they have visited have poor privacy, and there are problems such as mixed customers and leakage of personal information; 48% of them said that the service process is not exclusive enough, and they cannot get one-on-one professional guidance and care, which affects the service experience.

4.3 Market-Related Pain Points

4.3.1 Lack of Effective Supervision and Standardization

The lack of effective supervision and standardization in the high-end beauty market is a major market-related pain point. 68% of the respondents said that the supervision of the high-end beauty market in South Korea is not in place, and there are many irregular operations such as false宣传, counterfeit products, and unqualified services. The relevant laws and regulations on high-end beauty products and services are not perfect, and it is difficult to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of UHNWIs when they encounter consumption disputes.

5. Factors Affecting UHNWIs’ Beauty Consumption Decisions in South Korea

Personal image and lifestyle needs are the core personal factors affecting UHNWIs’ beauty consumption. 92% of the respondents said that they carry out beauty consumption to improve their personal image, enhance self-confidence, and adapt to social and work needs.
