SPC Samlip is broadening its health-focused bread range as South Korea's packaged-bread market faces weaker demand and changing consumer priorities. A report published by Aju Press on Friday, October 30, said the company had introduced seven high-protein, low-sugar breads under its Project H brand, along with four meal breads and desserts.

Healthier Products Target Softer Demand

The report cited a government and Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation survey showing that retail sales of packaged bread declined to KRW 981.6 billion last year. The survey found that consumers reduced purchases mainly because they were cutting flour and carbohydrate intake, facing high prices or finding products less appealing.

Health-oriented products are gaining ground within the category. The share of whole-grain and grain breads in the sliced-bread market rose from 13.2% in 2021 to 22.5% last year, while the share of regular sliced bread declined over the same period.

Fandom Marketing Adds Reach

Convenience-store collaborations are another route to demand. Aju Press reported that products tied to characters, books and sports teams have generated strong sales, but also noted that taste was a more important satisfaction driver than collectible merchandise among surveyed buyers.

For SPC Samlip, the combination of health credentials and product differentiation could help it defend shelf space as shoppers become more selective. The report also highlights the risk: novelty may attract initial purchases, while lasting demand will depend on quality and price.
