Retail value sales of yoghurt and sour milk products are expected to rise in current terms in South Korea over the forecast period, though sales are expected to fall at constant 2025 prices and in volume terms. Although tariffs on imported dairy products are scheduled to be removed in 2026, yoghurt is unlikely to face significant disruption from foreign competition.
Competition in South Korea’s yoghurt market is expected to intensify as dairy companies shift their focus towards categories with a stronger domestic positioning. With the scheduled elimination of tariffs on imported dairy in 2026, price-sensitive segments such as milk and cheese are likely to come under increased pressure from foreign brands.
Traditional liquid yoghurt formats are expected to continue losing ground to alternative beverages in South Korea. While yoghurt is generally perceived as a healthier option than café drinks, juices, or many ready-to-drink beverages, its relatively small portion size and higher price point present clear limitations.
