Regional Insights:

Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share above 70% in 2024 owing to growing demand for Kimchi in Korea. Kimchi boasts a flavor profile reminiscent of Chinese cuisine, and given the popularity of both Korean and Chinese food products among South Asian consumers, this is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the kimchi market. In this region, there exists a tradition of crafting kimchi before winter to preserve it until summer, when fresh vegetables become available. In, the production value of kimchi in South Korea was estimated at approximately 1.1 trillion South Korean won.

Kimchi is an emerging culinary delight in North America and Europe, poised to gain substantial popularity in the foreseeable future. Los Angeles, hosting the largest Korean community outside of Korea, has seen the fusion of Korean cuisine with Mexican flavors. Take, for instance, Pak, the proprietor of KoJa Kitchen, a novel Korean-Japanese fusion restaurant nestled in Downtown Los Angeles. Their menu boasts delectable offerings like short rib tacos and braised pork bowls, with each dish accompanied by kimchi sourced from Cosmos Food, the largest kimchi manufacturer in the United States.
