Comments: LG continues to make gains, as corporate sales rose 8% last year, helped to a large extent by sales of prestige cosmetics to consumers in China. In fact, sales of LG brands such as Whoo and SU:M doubled in the fourth quarter of 2014 and Whoo achieved the No. 1 spot in duty-free shopping, according to LG.
According to Euromonitor International, LG Household & Health Care retained the solid leading position in Korean home care in 2014 with more than double the value share of the second-ranked player by increasing its value share by one percentage point during the year. In contrast to global players, domestic manufacturers recorded strong performances by quickly adapting to South Korean consumer demand during 2014.
