South Korea Body Fat Reduction Market to Grow at a CAGR of 12.30% During 2026-2035, Driven by the Availability of Cost-Efficient Surgeries

Body fat reduction is widely popular and accepted in South Korea due to the country’s rigid beauty standards. In South Korea, the high consumer demand for nutraceuticals is characterised by body fat reduction. South Korea has one of the highest per capita rates of plastic surgeries globally. As a result, body fat reduction is also common in this region.

In 2022, 32.5% of adult Koreans with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher were classified as overweight or obese. The development of non-invasive or minimally-invasive body fat reduction procedures is propelling the South Korea body fat reduction market expansion.

For instance, in the process of doing Liposuction in Korea, doctors make use of a device known as a cannula. During the fat removal procedure, doctors carefully insert this thin steel tube into the fat layer. They separate the fat cells, which are subsequently sucked through the cannula and out of the body, by slowly pushing the cannula forward and backwards through the fat layer while staying perfectly parallel to the skin.

In November 2023, leading Japanese dairy product manufacturer Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. (TYO: 2264) announced that its exclusive probiotic strain, Bifidobacterium breve B-3, was approved for individual recognised registration in South Korea due to its clinically proven effectiveness in reducing body fat. The Minister of Food and Drug Safety of South Korea approved the probiotic strain B. breve B-3's Individual Recognised Registration (No. 2023-2) on March 7, 2023. In South Korea, the probiotic strain can be used as a functional ingredient for body fat reduction at a dosage of 5 billion CFU/day because it satisfies the highest requirements of safety, functionality, and regulatory compliance.
