India: Tantalizing frontier for K-food’s global ambitions beyond China

Quick Summary:

The boom is prompting an intensifying three-way race among Korea’s top three food brands – Lotte Wellfood Co., Nongshim Co.and Orion Co.– each betting big on India with the world’s largest population as the next major growth engine after China.

South Korea’s processed food exports to India have surged to a record 6 trillion won ($4.1 billion), marking a significant milestone in the growing appetite for K-food in one of Asia’s fastest-rising consumer markets.

With Korea’s processed food exports setting a new record and a population of 1.4 billion hungry for novelty and spice, India may well prove to be the most tantalizing frontier yet for K-food’s global ambitions, analysts said.
