[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] It has been revealed that the products purchased vary depending on the channel even in online shopping. At large supermarkets, customers mainly ordered ingredients that can be stored and consumed over a long period, while at supermarkets, they primarily ordered ingredients for side dishes.

According to Homeplus on the 25th, from the 15th of last month to the 12th of this month, customers using the large supermarket's direct delivery service mostly purchased meat, whereas customers using Homeplus Express's 1-hour instant delivery service mainly bought vegetables, tofu, and milk.

Among the top 10 best-selling items in the direct delivery service, 7 items belonged to the livestock category. Barley-fed pork belly (Canadian origin) ranked first in both sales and order volume. Following that were U.S. Choice grade beef short ribs and Australian clean beef chuck eye roll.

Among the 1-hour instant delivery orders, fresh foods for side dishes accounted for an overwhelming proportion. Zucchini ranked first in order volume, followed by Korean cucumbers, eggs, tofu, bean sprouts, potatoes, spinach, carrots, and perilla leaves, all within the top 20.

A Homeplus official said, “The products gaining high popularity in large supermarket same-day delivery and supermarket instant delivery are all fresh foods,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen our delivery competitiveness so that customers can purchase fresh foods online as well.”
