Sep. 28, 2021Corea del Sur: mercado HORECA alcanza US$ 121 mil millones
Korea’s HRI sector was growing rapidly until the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. HRI sales totaled W144 trillion Korean Won ($121.3 billion) in 2019 (latest year available), up 4.5 percent from the year before. Monthly per capita spending on HRI reached W133,008 won ($113) in 2020. Dining out accounted for half of Korean household food and beverage expenditures and 13 percent of total consumption expenditures in 2020.
Korean consumers place a high premium on convenience as busy urban lifestyles leave little time for traditional home cooked meals. Today over half of households consist of one or two members and more women have joined the workforce. These demographic changes have led to growing demand for home meal replacement products in retail stores, as well as take-out meals in restaurants. The demand for convenience has also driven rapid growth in online food sales and restaurant delivery services using food delivery apps. These trends are expected to continue, driving further growth in HRI sales.
