憑藉"韓流" 年韓國化妝品對華出口再度翻倍

South Korea's cosmetics exports to China reached a record-high level in 2015, data showed Sunday, apparently driven by the boom of Korean pop culture in Asia's No. 1 economy.

週日韓國方面發佈的數據顯示，2015年，韓國化妝品對華出口額創下歷史新高，而這顯然是受韓國流行文化風靡亞洲第一大經濟體的推動的。

According to the data compiled by the Korea International Trade Association, South Korea's exports of cosmetics to China doubled on-year to reach $1.08 billion in 2015, reflecting the soaring popularity of South Korean goods in China.

根據韓國貿易協會發布的數據顯示，2015年韓國化妝品對華出口額同比增長一倍至10.8億美元，這反映了韓國產品在華的受歡迎程度急劇上升。

South Korea's combined shipment of cosmetics around the globe also leaped 53.6 percent to $2.75 billion over the cited period, the data also showed.

該數據還顯示，同期韓國化妝品全球出口總額也同比大增53.6%，達到了27.5億美元。

Industry watchers said the growth is attributable to the cultural wave of "hallyu" in Asian countries, which refers to the boom of South Korea-made entertainment goods, including pop music, movies and TV dramas.

行業觀察人士表示，化妝品出口的增長得益於"韓流"文化席捲亞洲。"韓流"指的是韓國流行音樂、電影、電視劇等娛樂產品掀起的熱潮。

Exports of cosmetics to Hong Kong also soared 64.4 percent on-year in 2015 to reach $663 million, standing as the No. 2 shipment destination following mainland China. The United States followed with $233 million, up 56.1 percent over the cited period.

此外，2015年韓國化妝品對香港出口額同比增長64.4%至6億6300萬美元，這也使得香港成爲僅次於中國大陸的第二貨運目的地。美國則以2億3300萬美元緊隨其後，同比增長了56.1%。
