"Securing 2nd Place" Nongshim's 'Bae Hong Dong Bibimmyun' H1 Sales Up 20% YoY
[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Nongshim announced on the 28th that the sales of 'Baehongdong Bibimmyeon' in the first half of the year reached 18 billion KRW, a 20% increase compared to last year.
Sales of Baehongdong Bibimmyeon increased by nearly 30% since May, when the full heat of summer began. Nongshim expects to easily achieve this year's sales target of 30 billion KRW, which is about 30% higher than last year's annual sales.
A Nongshim official said, "Paldo Bibimmyeon, the market leader in bibimmyeon, and Nongshim Baehongdong Bibimmyeon are forming a duopoly this year through fierce market competition, widening the gap with the third-ranked product. As the heat intensifies in July and August, marketing activities targeting consumers will be actively conducted, so the bibimmyeon market is expected to heat up again this summer."
