Abstract

This study aimed to scrutinize the evolution of cosmetics research and development (R&D) in Korea, utilizing data from nationally funded R&D projects, and to suggest strategies to enhance the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A thorough analysis was performed on cosmetics-related national R&D funded project data from 2019 to 2023, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on annual trends, key organization, regional characteristics, major departments, and main functions and efficacy of R&D. The features revealed that the cosmetics industry, predominantly comprised of SMEs, is directing its efforts towards the development of a diverse range of functional products, with a recent shift towards the production of eco-friendly and sustainable materials. From a regional perspective, Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongbuk-do had the highest levels of R&D activities, demonstrating the significant R&D capabilities of these local industry. It provides a systematic comprehensive analysis based on national R&D funded project data, identifies recent trends in the cosmetics industry, and evidence for SMEs to strengthen market competitiveness and establish long-term strategies for sustainable growth. Therefore, the results of this study dispense significant information and insights not only to SMEs but also to policymakers, using critical foundational data for formulating and implementing policies to advance the cosmetics industry.

본 연구는 국가 연구개발(R&D) 과제 데이터를 기반으로 국내 화장품 산업의 연구개발 동향을 분석하여 중소기업의 경쟁력 강화 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 2019년부터 2023년까지의 화장품 관련 국가 R&D 과제 데이터를 활용하여 연도별, 주요 수행 주체, 지역적 특성, 주요 부처, 주요 기능 및 효능별 R&D 현황을 종합적으로 분석하고 고찰함으로써, 중소기업 R&D의 방향성 및 전략을 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 화장품 산업은 중소기업을 중심으로 다양한 기능성 제품 개발에 주력하고 있으며, 최근에는 특히 친환경적이고 지속 가능한 소재 개발에 큰 비중을 두고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지역적으로는 경기도와 충청북도에서 R&D 활동이 가장 활발하며, 이는 지역 산업의 R&D 역량이 높음을 반영한다. 본 연구는 국가 R&D 과제 데이터 기반의 체계적인 R&D 종합 분석을 통해 화장품 산업의 최근 동향을 파악하고, 중소기업의 시장 경쟁력 강화 및 지속 가능한 성장 전략 수립에 필요한 근거를 제공하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 중소기업 뿐만 아니라 정책 입안자에게도 유용한 정보와 통찰을 제공하여, 화장품 산업의 발전을 위한 정책 수립 및 실행에 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
