In South Korea, the flat‑backed mandolin segment forms a niche within the broader string instruments category, part of a musical‑instrument market projected at roughly US $101.8 million in 2024 and forecast to grow at a CAGR of about 5.6 % through 2028 . Flat‑back mandolins, a variant of entry‑level acoustic mandolins, have seen modest upticks in demand primarily driven by a growing amateur interest in folk and Western acoustic styles, as well as educational usage in music schools and hobbyist programs.
