凭借"韩流" 年韩国化妆品对华出口再度翻倍

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.

周日韩国方面发布的数据显示，2015年，韩国化妆品对华出口额创下历史新高，而这显然是受韩国流行文化风靡亚洲第一大经济体的推动的。

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.

根据韩国贸易协会发布的数据显示，2015年韩国化妆品对华出口额同比增长一倍至10.8亿美元，这反映了韩国产品在华的受欢迎程度急剧上升。

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.

该数据还显示，同期韩国化妆品全球出口总额也同比大增53.6%，达到了27.5亿美元。

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.

行业观察人士表示，化妆品出口的增长得益于"韩流"文化席卷亚洲。"韩流"指的是韩国流行音乐、电影、电视剧等娱乐产品掀起的热潮。

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年韩国化妆品对香港出口额同比增长64.4%至6亿6300万美元，这也使得香港成为仅次于中国大陆的第二货运目的地。美国则以2亿3300万美元紧随其后，同比增长了56.1%。
