South Korea Frozen French Fries Market Insights
The frozen French fries market in South Korea is steadily growing, driven by the country’s increasing appetite for Western-style fast foods and the rapid expansion of international QSR chains. With busy urban lifestyles and a preference for convenient, ready-to-eat food, demand for frozen snacks has accelerated. Local manufacturers are also strengthening their frozen product portfolios, targeting both B2B and B2C segments. However, one restraint is the growing consumer concern over artificial preservatives and unhealthy fats, which is prompting a shift toward cleaner label alternatives. Despite this, opportunities lie in premium frozen fry variants such as crinkle-cut, waffle, and seasoned varieties that align with the Korean consumer’s love for flavorful, aesthetic food. Moreover, growing online grocery channels are pushing product visibility across new demographics. A noticeable trend is the adoption of air-fryer compatible and oven-baked fries, resonating with the health-conscious youth. From 2025 to 2030, the South Korean frozen French fries market is projected to expand at a CAGR of approximately 6.7%, supported by evolving snacking patterns and increasing in-home meal occasions.
