Sector Trend Analysis – Vegetable oils in South Korea
June 2019
Executive summary
South Korea was the 34th largest vegetable oil market worldwide in 2018, with US$426 million worth of retail value sales.
Between 2014 and 2018, South Korea imported 65.6% of their vegetable oils and has decreased by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of −0.2%.
Subsectors of the South Korean vegetable oil market experienced varying levels of growth between 2014 and 2018, with a significant increase in retail sales for canola oil and soybean oil products, and falling sales for olive oil and other edible oils. The forecasted values, however, shows that olive oil will experience the most significant increase in retail sales.
South Korea's imports of vegetable oil products from Canada in 2018 were US$89 million and have increased at a 6.5% rate between 2014 and 2018 with imports from the world only increasing at 0.26%.
The South Korean demographic has turned more toward home meal replacements (HMRs) instead of preparing meals. As a result, the inclusion of vegetable oils in gift sets has been a major method by companies to increase their retail sales in South Korea.

Canada's performance
In 2018, Canada exported over US$2.6 billion worth of vegetable oil products to the world, with 59.6% going to the United States. South Korea imported US$105 million of Canada's vegetable oil products in 2018. More specifically, canola products accounted for 92.1% of Canada's main vegetable oil exports to South Korea at a value of US$96.7 million. Canada was the second main exporter of vegetable oil to South Korea behind the United States.
Canada mainly exported its vegetable oil products to the United States and China due to a larger market share of the imports compared to the rest of the top 10 importers of vegetable oil products in the world.

Retail environment
Retail value sales of vegetable oil products have been steadily decreasing from 2014 to 2018, by a CAGR of −0.2%. Through 2021, the market is expected to keep falling at a CAGR of −0.3% in South Korea.
The retail market for edible oils has been declining over the 2016-2018 period due to consumer preference for HMRs such as ready meals, processed meat and prepared sauces since consumers have less time to prepare home cooked meals with their much busier lifestyles.
Traditional Korean oils such as sesame oils have been seeing a decline over the past five years because more households prefer HMRs. The other edible oils category has experienced a decline despite the fact that premium oils such as coconut oil were prefered and are highly used for weight management, as well as, for beauty purposes.Footnote 1

Canola Products
Canola oil is Canada's largest oil product produced and exported to the rest of the world, as indicated by the large sales values to the United states and China and although these are the two markets with the highest imports of Canadian Canola oil, the South Korean market has room to grow with a CAGR of 3.4% from 2014-2018. Canola oil is also the largest of the canola products imported by South Korea from Canada.
Also, important to note is that canola oil is the largest imported vegetable oil by South Korea as it is the only one greater than a hundred million dollars (133.6 million to be exact) accounting for 31% of vegetable oils being imported by South Korea and will continue to be the highest imported value all through 2023 (130.1 million). Canada accounts for about 72.5% South Korean canola oil imports.

In 2018, the five largest vegetable oil product companies in South Korea controlled 86.8% of the market compared to a small decrease from the 89.5% of sales share recorded in 2016. The 'others' category made up 12.7% of the market share. CJ Cheiljedang Corp, maintained its prominent position with a value share of 36.9% in 2018 up from 35.7% in 2016. CJ Cheiljedang Corp. gained in the olive oil market due to premium packaging and products claiming special origins, although they lost market share in the other edible oils market.
In South Korea, the performance of cooking oils is largely determined by sales of oil gift sets during the periods surrounding the Lunar new year and Korean thanksgiving day. Ottogi foods and Sajohaepyo have capitalised on the gift sets initiative crediting it with the gain in market share in 2018.Footnote 1

Health and wellness products

However, the forecast indicates a growth in the health and wellness edible oils category due to the growth in the naturally healthy edible oils category at a rate of 2.4% through to 2023.
There is no forecasted growth in the organic edible oil category over the 2019 to 2023 period.

Conclusion
The South Korean vegetable oil market is expected to keep falling over the next five years. Yet, some markets such as the olive oil, and other edible oils subsectors are expected to grow over the next five years. Canola oil is expected to lose some market share, but at a slower rate than soy or corn oil.
Despite limited growth for canola oil due to consumer habits and market trends, there may be scope to substitute canola oil for other cooking oils (ie, to increase canola oil market share compared to other vegetable oils). This would require marketing efforts by the CCC to introduce new uses of canola oil or develop recipes especially incorporated into Korean dishes or that highlight health benefits.
There has been a large increase in new product launches and this indicates an opportunity for Canadian producers as canola products have been a high percentage of the new products being launched, especially if the products are offered as a gift set.
