[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Cell Biotech announced on the 23rd that it has achieved the number one position in domestic probiotic exports for nine consecutive years.

According to the '2021 Food Production Statistics' released by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, the total export value of domestic probiotics last year was 36.7 billion KRW, of which Cell Biotech's export value alone reached 14.6 billion KRW (39.8%).

Cell Biotech explained that it proactively established various export channels in preparation for the changing circumstances due to COVID-19 and focused on 27 years of research centered on '100% Korean-made lactic acid bacteria' in line with the rapidly growing global interest in Korean fermented foods.

Cell Biotech exports probiotics to more than 40 countries worldwide, including Asia and Europe, enhancing the status of 'Korean-made lactic acid bacteria' in the global probiotic market. In particular, it has been recognized for its product quality by ranking second in market share in Denmark, known as the home country of lactic acid bacteria.

A Cell Biotech official said, “While most domestic probiotic companies focus on simple manufacturing or distribution based on imported strains, Cell Biotech has continuously conducted research and development based on Korean dietary culture resources, moving away from imports,” and added, “We will strive to become a leading company representing the probiotic industry in the global market beyond just being number one in exports.”
