South Korea Dehydrated Food Product Market Overview, 2028


Outdoor activities like hiking and camping are popular in South Korea. Dehydrated foods, which are portable and require minimal preparation, cater to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. As more consumers explore plant-based diets, dehydrated foods can offer plant-based alternatives to traditional animal products. South Korea's fascination with global cuisines, especially through K-dramas and K-pop, has led to an interest in international flavours. Dehydrated foods are used to replicate and experiment with these flavours. South Koreans have embraced do-it-yourself (DIY) trends, including making their own dehydrated food at home. Dehydrators are becoming more accessible, encouraging experimentation with different foods. As South Korea's economy continued to grow, consumer preferences shifted towards convenience and time-saving products. The popularity of instant noodles and other convenience foods grew during this decade. Health and wellness trends gained traction in South Korea. Consumers started looking for healthier snack alternatives, leading to the rise of dehydrated fruits and vegetables as nutritious options. Technological advancements have improved the quality of dehydrated products, with a focus on retaining flavour, colour, and nutrients. The market has also seen innovation in packaging and convenience features.

According to the research report ""South Korea Dehydrated Food Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, the South Korea Dehydrated market is expected to grow at more than 7% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. South Korea's urban and fast-paced lifestyle drives the demand for convenient and quick food options. Dehydrated foods, which are lightweight, easy to prepare, and have a longer shelf life, align well with the need for on-the-go and time-efficient meals. South Korea's competitive education system and demanding work culture leave many professionals and students with limited time for meal preparation. Dehydrated foods offer a solution for those seeking convenient yet nutritious meal options. Dehydrated foods, including spices, herbs, and seasonings, offer concentrated flavours that can enhance a variety of dishes. Chefs and home cooks use these ingredients to experiment with culinary creations. Based on the method types, they include spray-dried, air-dried, sun-dried, vacuum-dried, microwave-dried, and others. In South Korea, air-dried and sun-dried are also used as methods of dehydration of food. South Korea has a rich culinary heritage that includes traditional methods of preserving food. Air-drying and sun-drying are techniques deeply rooted in the country's culinary traditions and history. Furthermore, Air-drying and sun-drying are considered more natural forms of food preservation compared to some modern methods. South Korean consumers, especially those who value minimally processed foods, may prefer these methods for their simplicity and preservation of the food's original qualities. Internationally, there is growing interest in traditional and authentic food products. South Korea's air-dried and sun-dried foods can tap into this global trend.

Based on the product types, they include Milk powder, Other Dairy Products, Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Fish and Seafood, meat, and others. In South Korea, milk powder is the leading market. Milk powder's lightweight and non-perishable nature make it an ideal choice for on-the-go individuals, including students and professionals who may not have access to fresh milk throughout the day. The coffee culture in South Korea is thriving, and milk powder is commonly used as a creamer for coffee and other hot beverages, offering convenience and a consistent taste. As South Korea becomes more globalised, international cuisines and dietary habits have influenced local preferences. Milk powder is commonly used in Western-style recipes and dishes. Furthermore, herbs are also growing as dehydrated products. Dehydrated herbs are known for their concentrated flavours, which can enhance the taste of dishes without the need for large quantities. South Korean consumers appreciate the ability to add robust flavours to their meals. Dehydrated herbs are a natural way to enhance the nutritional content of meals. Many herbs are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, aligning with South Koreans' increasing focus on health-conscious eating. In urban areas with limited gardening space, dehydrated herbs provide a solution for individuals who want to incorporate herbs into their cooking without the need for fresh plants.

Based on the form types, there are powder and granules, minced and chopped, slices and cubes, flakes, and others. Dehydrated food is available in convenient culinary forms like powder and granules. They reduce the need for washing, chopping, and processing, speeding up and improving the efficiency of meal preparation. Powdered and granulated forms of ingredients can be used to add flavour to dishes without relying on excessive salt or fat, aligning with health-conscious cooking trends. Furthermore, Powdered and granulated ingredients are easily portable, making them convenient for outdoor activities, work, and travel. Urban living in South Korea often comes with limited kitchen and storage space. Powdered and granulated forms of ingredients take up less space compared to their fresh or whole counterparts.
