Market Overview

The concentrated tomatoes market in South Korea includes tomato-based products, such as paste, puree, sauce and related concentrates, which are processed food products that have reduced water to prolong shelf life and enhanced tomato flavor. These products provide an appealing option in all food networks, from food processing, foodservice and household applications, and its convenience and versatility has made them naturally appealing for culinary uses. The concentrated tomatoes market is enjoying steady growth due to emerging consumer preferences toward ready-to-eat and packaged food products, an increased popularity of Western and fusion cuisines, growth within the food processing sector, and increasing knowledge about clean-label and preservative free food products has contributed to higher demand for natural tomato concentrates. Urbanization and busy lifestyles have also increased home consumption of prepared foods, while restaurants and food chains are actively consuming concentrated tomatoes within foodservice. Nevertheless, the market outlook for concentrated tomatoes is somewhat constrained by the fact that Canadian grocery stores generally depend on imported paste and puree, seasonal tomatos are subject to availability, and prices for raw tomatoes and paste can vary globally. But even with these factors there is good good outlook for concentrated tomatoes due to the culinary demand for concentrated tomatoes and continuous innovation around the offering of these products.
