As South Korea faces demographic changes marked by declining birth rates and a rise in the ageing population, cheese, traditionally focused on children, is poised for a shift. The demand for cheese, once predominantly catering for younger consumers, is now showing potential for expansion into the adult segment.
As Korean consumers’ taste preferences continue to become more westernised, cheese is increasingly being consumed as a snack. However, cheese as a standalone, portable snack has not yet become widespread in the local market.
Due to its unique taste and aroma, hard cheese was introduced relatively late to South Korea compared with other cheese varieties. Currently, most of the hard cheese available is still imported with limited distribution, and predominantly found in warehouse clubs, department stores, and on selected e-commerce platforms.
