South Korea Instant Coffee Market to Grow at a CAGR of 5.4% During 2024-2032, Driven by The Growing Popularity of Freshly Brewed Coffees And 3-In-1 Coffee Premixes

In South Korea, instant coffee is gaining popularity due to the convenience offered by such products. As it does not require special coffee-making equipment and preparation is simple, the demand for instant coffee among the young population is rising.

In Korean culture, instant coffee premixes were originally consumed for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, and fishing. The escalating coffee culture in the country, buoyed by the expansion of cafes and coffeehouses like Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), stimulates the South Korea instant coffee market expansion. South Koreans seek more affordable coffee options that can be made at home and enjoyed on the go. Due to its affordability, instant coffee is a preferred option for consumers on a tight budget.

One of the major factors aiding the market growth is the growing popularity of 3-in-1 instant coffee mixes in the international market due to the rising influence of K-pop and Korean television shows. Besides, flavour innovations and the use of high-quality ingredients by emerging South Korean instant coffee start-ups are positively impacting the market.

New product launches support the instant coffee market in South Korea. In March 2024, Newmix Coffee was launched by the founder of Baedal Minjok (Baemin). Newmix Coffee is a reimagining of instant coffee mix. Consumers have the option of consuming instant coffee in-store or to-go.

Besides, Dongsuh Foods, a prominent South Korean instant coffee brand, launched two new Kanu instant coffee stick aromas, Kanu Espresso Milk Tea Latte and Kanu Espresso Matcha Latte. The blend of instant tea and coffee aims to support customers in preparing delicious coffee at-home.
