Driving Factors

South Korea's dry fruit market is growing with the rising health trend and growing consumer demand for nutrient-rich snacking. Ingredients such as raisins, dates, and figs are used extensively in home bakery, snack, and breakfast foods. Growing interest in clean-label and organic foods and improving availability through supermarkets and digital channels is driving market growth. Growing dependence on imports, particularly from the U.S. and Middle East, continues to drive product availability and variety in the country.

Restraining Factors

The market faces challenges from costly imported dry fruits, insufficient local production, and competition from fresh fruit demand. Dependance on imports and seasonality make the market vulnerable to supply risks and uncertainity. Few consumers are not aware about some types such as prunes or dates, thus constraining adoption beyond raisins.
