Amorepacific Holdings Fundamental Analysis: Background of Strong Performance in the First Half of 2025
Amorepacific Holdings recorded strong growth in the first half of 2025, with consolidated sales of KRW 2.2597 trillion and operating profit of KRW 208.9 billion. This was driven by the strong performance of its major subsidiary, Amorepacific, both domestically and internationally, and the effects of the Cosrx acquisition.

Key Considerations for Investment: China Market Risks and Growth Potential
Business in China showed only slight growth due to the base effect of the previous year’s business structure improvement efforts. Recovering competitiveness in the Chinese market remains a key challenge. In addition, uncertainties in the external environment, such as the global economic slowdown, geopolitical risks, raw material price volatility, and intensified competition, are potential risk factors. However, the Cosrx acquisition effect and the robust growth in overseas markets such as the Americas and EMEA demonstrate the company’s mid- to long-term growth potential.
Action Plan for Investors: Information Gathering and Risk Management
Investors should closely monitor the specific implementation and performance of strategies to strengthen competitiveness in the Chinese market. It is also important to continuously understand response strategies to changes in macroeconomic indicators such as exchange rates, interest rates, and raw material price fluctuations. Investors should continuously track Amorepacific Holdings’ efforts to secure mid- to long-term growth drivers, such as new business ventures, R&D investment performance, and ESG management enhancement efforts, and reflect them in their investment decisions.
