South Korea’s kimchi exports have seen a robust growth of 10% year-on-year as of October 2023, according to recent statistics presented.

The nation is poised to shatter its record for kimchi exports, fuelling speculation across the industry.

From January to October 2023, international sales of this iconic Korean dish have already reached a staggering $130 million, a significant leap from the $118.6 million recorded in the same period last year, as per data from the Korea Customs Service.

With the continued momentum, industry insiders predict that the annual export figures for kimchi are on course to exceed the 2021 record of $159 million.

This phenomenal growth is attributed to a surge in demand from health-conscious consumers during the pandemic.

The deliciously tangy side dish has found its way to 93 countries so far this year, up from 87 in the previous year, thereby expanding its global footprint.

Japan has been the biggest consumer, accounting for a substantial 40.5% of the exports during the ten months.

It’s followed closely by the United States, the Netherlands, Britain, and Hong Kong, further testifying to kimchi’s global appeal.
