APR says Medicube averaged at least 16 of 100 Amazon beauty slots per European market
APR said Medicube's US sales rose about 85% from a year earlier on a record day at Amazon's Oct. 6-7 Prime Big Deal Days. All of it is company-reported from a two-day discount sale, so the listing counts are firmer evidence of traction than the percentage.
The Investor · Invest desk
Key figures: Medicube averaged at least 16 products per European country in Amazon's top 100 beauty lists, up from an average of seven at Amazon's Prime Day promotion in June. In the US, 13 Medicube products entered Amazon's top 100 beauty bestsellers.
| Figure | Value | Note | Claim |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avg. Medicube items per European top 100, at least | 16 products | 5 | |
| June Prime Day, Europe avg. | 7 products | 6 | |
| US top 100 beauty list | 13 products | 4 |
What happened
- According to en.sedaily.com, Medicube ranked No. 1 in overall Amazon search terms in four countries: the US, the UK, Italy and Spain.
- In the US, 13 Medicube products reached Amazon's top 100 beauty bestsellers during the event.
- APR plans additional promotions and product releases ahead of Black Friday and Christmas, the Korea Herald reported.
Why it matters
- What it limits constraint The 85% is a ratio with no dollar base attached, so it cannot be sized against APR's overseas revenue, and a gain on a small base would look identical.
- What doesn't add up contradiction Both sources call October a European debut yet compare it with seven listings per country at June's Prime Day, so the 2.3x may compare unlike sets of markets.
- Who has to decide decision Anyone sizing APR's overseas business has to choose between treating a list share of roughly 16% as a revenue proxy and waiting for dollar data.

The listing counts are the figures that come with a denominator. A top-100 list has 100 slots, so an average of at least 16 Medicube products per European country is at least 16% of each list [5][13], against an average of seven, or 7%, at June's Prime Day, a gain of about 2.3 times [6][14]. In the US the 13 products are 13% [4][15]. The five debut markets therefore average three slots more than the established one [16].
It is an average over five lists, though, so one country can sit well below 16 if another sits above it. The search rankings are mixed in the same way. Medicube was No. 1 in overall Amazon search terms in the UK, Italy and Spain [7], three of the five European markets [17], and the four-country list en.sedaily.com gives does not include Germany or France [7].
We think the shelf-position evidence is real and the revenue evidence is not yet in. A company official framed the result this way: "The results of this promotion are significant in that they confirmed strong popularity and demand for Medicube not only in the U.S. but also in Europe ahead of the year-end" [10]. The listings support the European half of that sentence. The sales half rests on a percentage, and a percentage on a small base adds little to a revenue line. The event is also a discount sale that Amazon runs for Prime members each October [11], so what was measured is demand at a discount.
The counter-thesis has some support. APR said beauty-device sales also rose from the previous year's event [12], and it has added localized product launches, pop-up stores and broader offline distribution in the US and Europe this year [8]. If those are working, the lift would not depend on the discount.
APR's stated plan for the coming quarter is more of the same: additional promotions and product releases ahead of Black Friday and Christmas [9]. Its next datapoints will again come from sales. We would call the thesis wrong if APR's reported overseas revenue for the quarter rises by much less than the rankings imply.
What to watch
- Medicube's European top-100 beauty count at Black Friday: a figure near 16 per country supports the thesis, one back toward June's seven does not.
- Whether APR attaches dollar sales or a country-by-country list count to the next update, which would show how uneven the 16 average is.
- Whether Medicube reaches the No. 1 search spot in Germany and France, the two debut markets missing from the four-country list.
