Home baking has become one of the most popular hobbies in South Korea. As a result, ready-to-use ingredients and standardised recipes of premixes increase baking efficiencies and reduce time. Some of the popular baking items in South Korea include gyeran-ppang (egg bread), soboro buns (a type of streusel), and bungeoppang (fish-shaped waffles).
In 2021, the top sub-categories of new bakery products included cakes, pastries, and sweet items with 1,366 launches; sweet biscuits and cookies with 695 launches; baking ingredients and mixes with 263 launches; and bread and bread products with 259 launches. South Korea has an in-built cafe culture. The expansion of cafes and innovation in flavours stimulate the South Korea bakery premixes market growth. Additionally, manufacturers are gaining a competitive edge in the market by incorporating sustainable packaging and reducing waste. The rising availability of gluten-free bakery premixes is also propelling the market expansion.
Franchise expansion by leading companies supports the bakery premixes market in South Korea. In February 2024, Sprinkles Cupcakes announced its strategic franchise expansion into South Korea, followed by Singapore and Malaysia. The company is well-known for its freshly baked cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and brownies, and plans to open more than 50 new shops in the next few years globally. The company has assembled a large workforce, comprising operations, training, marketing, and construction in the ASEAN nations, to assist franchisees.
