A common query among sellers on the Coupang Marketplace (coupang.com) is identifying the platform's best-selling products. Recently, Coupang unveiled a comprehensive list of the top 1,000 best-selling items for 2023, and we've distilled this down to the Top 10 Best Sellers in Korea by foreign sellers.
As one of South Korea's three major marketplaces, Coupang is the preferred choice for Korean consumers, boasting around 15 million loyal customers. In 2023, South Korea emerged as the world's 4th largest e-commerce market with a volume of US $177.42 billion, leading globally in e-commerce spending per capita, according to our findings.

The absence of Amazon and other global marketplaces in Korea presents challenges for non-Korean sellers wishing to directly reach Korean consumers. Seizing this gap, Coupang allows foreign sellers to establish stores and sell directly to Korean buyers without registering a local Korean company, known as Global Sellers on the platform.

Distinguishing between Global and Local Sellers, Global Sellers ship products from their country, receiving payments in their bank account in currencies like USD or EURO. While there are other differences, Global Sellers can leverage e-commerce support, fulfillment, and logistics in Korea to operate comparably to local sellers. Some even use Korean Import of Record services for local export and storage.
Coupang's Marketplace features Global Sellers from the USA, Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. Below is the list of the Top 10 best-selling products by Global Sellers across these regions:
