According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the South Korea Coconut Water Market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by rising demand for natural, low-calorie, and plant-based beverages as health-conscious consumers seek clean-label hydration alternatives to sugary and artificial drinks.

Market Overview

Coconut water is the clear liquid contained in immature green coconuts, which is full of natural electrolytes, has low-calorie content, and supports hydration. Coconut water is gaining popularity in South Korea as health-focused consumers increasingly opt for functional and plant-based drinks over sugared and carbonated soft drinks. Coconut water is notably demanded as a recovery drink after exercise and as a morning pick-me-up, particularly by sportsplayers and young, urban consumers. Its connection to benefits like hydration, healthy skin, and replenishing electrolytes is also adding to its popularity. Its availability in plain as well as flavored forms is servicing the different taste preferences. Flavored varieties like mango, pineapple, and lime are appealing to the youth segment. Sales growth through convenience stores, supermarkets, and e-commerce is bringing coconut water within reach of a broad base. In spite of high costs and overdependence on import from tropical nations, demand keeps increasing owing to changing patterns of food consumption, clean-label awareness, and demand for low-sugar, natural drinks in South Korea.
