South Korea Frozen Food Market to Grow at a CAGR of 6.70% During 2026-2035, Aided by the Increasing Increasing Popularity of Convenience Food

The South Korea frozen food market growth is driven by the rising popularity of convenience food and easy-to-cook options among people. The market is positively influenced by the advances in freezing processes and improvements in packaging technology. The frozen food market in South Korea is expanding rapidly due to a societal shift towards solo living and dining. Microwavable dishes are particularly favoured by students and working mothers for their convenience. Key drivers of this growth include the convenience offered by frozen foods, attractive pricing, and changing food preferences and rising disposable incomes.

The market benefits from the recognition of frozen foods as a safe and healthy food option by regulatory bodies. Flash-freezing at low temperatures preserves food texture and nutrients, extending freshness. Blanching before freezing helps retain carotenoids and flavonoids in vegetables. Frozen foods are preferred for their natural preservation, avoiding the need for preservatives used in canning and drying.

Frozen food offers affordability and convenience, appealing to busy professionals, particularly women, helping them save time on preparation. Limited arable land in South Korea makes frozen options essential for accessing a variety of foods.

The rise in demand for convenience, driven by an ageing population, also supports the sales of frozen foods. Consumers prefer quick and easy meal options, benefiting individuals without domestic help.
