PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Convenience store fresh zones open new opportunities for chilled dairy desserts
Retail value sales of other dairy are expected to rise in current terms but stagnate at constant 2025 prices over the forecast period. Convenience stores in South Korea are rapidly evolving beyond their traditional role as quick-stop shopping destinations.
Domestic dairy brands pursue premium segments to offset import pressures and optimise milk quotas
With the elimination of tariffs on imported dairy products scheduled for 2026, South Korea’s domestic dairy companies are accelerating efforts to diversify their portfolios and strengthen their position in premium segments. These segments, which are often underdeveloped and less saturated by foreign competitors, offer greater flexibility for brand control and product differentiation.
Health-positioned cream to meet evolving consumer demand
As health-related trends continue to gain momentum in South Korea, there will be an increasing consumer demand for healthier, lower-calorie cream in the future. With the rise of health-conscious eating habits and a growing awareness of nutritional content, consumers are actively seeking alternatives that offer indulgence without compromising their dietary goals.
