Market Overview

South Korea durian powder market is witnessing steady growth due to higher consumer demand for functional and novelty food ingredients. Spray-dried or freeze-dried durian powder is rich in shelf life and dense in nutritional content like dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. It is becoming popular in the food and beverage industry to be used as a component in dessert, smoothie, baked foods, and flavored drinks. Aside from this, its use is increasing to nutraceuticals and cosmetics because of its bioactive compounds and anti-aging effects. Despite traditional durian powder dominating the market based on price and availability, organic durian powder is increasing popularity among health-conscious consumers.
