Hypermarkets in South Korea

Hypermarkets saw insignificant growth in both outlet numbers and current value sales in South Korea in 2024. One factor preventing stronger growth for the channel was that the shift from offline to online shopping continued, especially in non-food categories. Traditionally, hypermarkets operated based on cost-effectiveness and large-scale stores, but they have struggled to meet trends favouring premium products, personalised consumption, and time-saving shopping.
