South Korea Cooking and Edible Oils Market 2025

Report Code: HF25705S Industry: Tags: ,

The South Korea cooking and edible oils market is poised for gradual expansion, anticipated to grow by USD 1.0 billion with a CAGR of around 4.8% throughout the 2025 to 2030 forecast period. South Korea’s edible oil market is responding to a confluence of health-centric consumer preferences and advanced retail sophistication, both of which are redefining the parameters of product development and positioning. Despite relatively low per capita oil consumption compared to Western economies, the Korean market is deeply attuned to the qualitative aspects of oils, particularly their health implications. Urban consumers in Seoul and Busan demonstrate high willingness to pay for oils that are cold-pressed, organic, or fortified with omega-3s and antioxidants. Olive oil has seen meteoric growth in recent years, bolstered by the popularity of Mediterranean diets among health-conscious Koreans. Domestic players such as CJ CheilJedang and Ottogi are actively innovating around “clean label” products, while also tapping into traditional Korean oils such as perilla and sesame to blend heritage with health functionality.

Policy frameworks are also nudging the industry toward higher standards and transparency. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has rolled out stricter labeling requirements and periodic quality checks to prevent mislabeling and adulteration. This has emboldened retailers to curate more selectively, pushing oils with traceable origin and verified nutritional claims. E-commerce channels like Coupang and SSG.com are enhancing this trend by offering tailored recommendations and rich product storytelling, often including content on farming practices and sustainability credentials. As consumers grow more sophisticated and discerning, the edible oil market in South Korea is transitioning into a space where brand equity, health credibility, and ethical sourcing are indispensable to success.
