South Korea Dairy Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Increased Awareness Regarding Clean Label Products and the Growing Trend of Consuming Immunity-Boosting Products Augment Market Sales

Consumers read product labels in the packaging because of the demand for clean label products and transparency in the dairy products market. Another key component boosting demand is innovation in probiotic beverages by adding different flavours in convenient pack sizes.  In South Korea, flavoured milk is immensely popular among South Korea population. In addition, flavoured milk is gaining much traction, especially Binggrae's banana milk is one of the most preferred flavoured milks in South Korea. Sales of both flavoured and fresh milk are being driven by rising consumer knowledge of additives and environmentally friendly packaging. Due to the extensive selection and convenience, speciality stores also hold a sizable portion of the market and show a healthy growth rate. 

During the COVID-19 outbreak, consumers focused on their nutritional intake to boost their immunity, and the majority of customers moved to better beverage options like regular unflavoured milk, flavoured milk, drinkable yoghurt, and ice cream among others. The demand for premium products is soaring as a result of rising disposable income and consumers' better lifestyles, which is also boosting the market for dairy items.

The Increasing Inclination of Generation Z and Millennials Toward Western Culture and Food, along with the Growing Product Innovation in Yoghurt and its Packaging, Supports the Market Growth

Yoghurt innovation, such as fat-free, flavoured, and drinkable yoghurt, is predicted to generate significant development prospects for the dairy market. As diets have grown richer and more varied, packaging innovations such as single-serve, on-the-go packs, and small portion sizes also boost product demand and create enormous opportunities for companies. Moreover, the demand for clean label dairy products due to consumers' awareness will further augment the South Korea dairy market’s growth. In addition to high-quality protein, milk and milk derivatives provide a significant source of several vital micronutrients. Due to South Korea's growing ageing population, more milk and milk products may be consumed, causing the market for dairy products to expand more quickly.

With the South Korean consumers' growing interest in Western meals such as hamburgers, pizzas, and sandwiches, cheese consumption has grown exponentially, which has played a significant part in accustoming Korean consumers to cheese  and so improving the dairy market's growth.

The price of raw milk is high compared to milk powder.  Therefore, on a commercial scale, milk powder is used to produce confectionery and bakery products. This decreases the cost of food production and propels the market for milk powder, thereby propelling the development of the dairy market in South Korea.
