In Japan, the focus will be on oral care, makeup brand Hince, and derma cosmetics under CNP, aiming to expand online influence.

For Southeast Asia and the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), the company will tailor its approach to local market needs, expanding both online and offline channels. In China, the rebranding of The History of Whoo will underpin a strategy prioritizing profitability.

To keep pace with rapidly evolving consumer trends, LG Household & Health Care plans to introduce an R&D Fast-Track process, streamlining product planning, development, and launch. “We will leverage digital data to analyze customer and technology trends and rapidly transform insights into products,” Lee explained. Open innovation will also play a key role in supplementing business capabilities and fostering agility.

For digital-driven growth, the company plans to enhance e-commerce strategies domestically and internationally, strengthen digital content creation capabilities, and actively utilize artificial intelligence. Lee remarked, “By integrating AI and collaborating with external digital solution providers, we aim to develop hybrid products that deliver unique customer experiences.”

The company is also pursuing inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), targeting brands with strong appeal among MZ (Millennial and Gen Z) and Alpha generations. Lee noted that underperforming businesses will undergo streamlining to enhance operational efficiency.
