Luxury brands have set their sights on South Korea as the country's major tourist attractions have emerged as hotspots for global luxury brands.

The luxury goods market in South Korea is experiencing remarkable growth, reaching a valuation of $14.7 billion in 2021, representing a 4.4 percent increase from the previous year. In fact, South Koreans are leading the world in luxury goods spending, with an average annual expenditure of $325 per individual, according to U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley.
