Earlier Report Observations

The South Korean goose meat and offal market volume grew from 15 860 kg in 2018 to 16 970 kg in 2019, supported by stable demand for fresh foods and increased appetite for meat products, which drove expansion of cold chain logistics and online fresh food sales.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 sharply reduced market volume to 14 220 kg as consumer avoidance of offline shopping and broader economic impacts weighed on demand. A slight recovery to 14 340 kg occurred in 2021, aided by growth in the frozen prepared food segment and advances in rapid freezing technology that improved product quality.

From 2022, the market entered a sustained decline, falling to 12 670 kg in 2022 and 10 940 kg in 2023. This downturn coincided with a documented decrease in the share of consumer spending on fresh foods, alongside a shift toward convenient meal solutions like meal kits and ready-to-eat dishes, which diverted consumption away from raw goose meat.
