  • South Korea’s food-delivery market reached 11.5899 trillion won in 2025, up 11.9% from the previous year, according to Samjong KPMG data cited in the article.
  • Consumers increasingly expect delivery meals to match restaurant quality, with greater attention to meat origin, texture and flavor.
  • The U.S. Meat Export Federation partnered with Baemin on the 2026 Delivery Week Season 2 promotion to highlight American pork.

Delivery food has moved beyond a simple way to fill a meal, becoming a familiar part of everyday food culture in South Korea. As orders become routine, consumers are also raising their standards, looking beyond value and portion size to demand the flavor and finish of a specialist restaurant.

The shift is especially clear in meat-based dishes, where the quality of the raw ingredient can shape the entire meal. Consumers are paying closer attention to origin, texture and flavor as they assess what arrives at their door.

Against that backdrop, the U.S. Meat Export Federation has teamed up with delivery platform Baemin for the “2026 Delivery Week Season 2” promotion. The campaign aims to showcase the quality of American pork and bring it into closer contact with consumers through delivery meals featuring dishes such as galbi lunchboxes and braised pork ribs.
