Retail volume and current value sales of gum are expected to rebound in 2023 and 2024, as wearing a face mask is expected to be entirely phased out. However, growth is likely to be short-lived, as South Koreans are increasingly shifting to alternative products to gum, such as jellies, which appeal to consumer groups such as students and young females, with their less chewy texture, fun design and variety of flavours.
Functional gum could be a segment to regain consumers’ attention, lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, although it is not likely to be able to recover overall sales of gum to the pre-pandemic level. A series of anti-drowsiness gum products that contain natural caffeine was launched over 2019-2020, but they failed by mistiming the release, when the entire gum category saw an unprecedented plunge due to the mask mandate after the COVID-19 outbreak.
