Today, even people in their 20s and 30s are actively managing their health. Social media is filled with workout routines, healthy recipes, and supplement tips, and the concept of “inner beauty” has become an essential part of many people’s wellness routines. Health is no longer just about avoiding illness—it’s a lifestyle choice that enhances quality of life and strengthens self-efficacy. As this mindset spreads, global interest is shifting from basic health management to how to age healthily, also known as slow aging.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “by 2050, the global population aged 60 and over will exceed 2.1 billion.” This projection highlights the unprecedented pace of global aging in human history.
Global Focus on the Korean Healthcare Industry
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, health has become a central global concern, and the healthcare industry has emerged as a pillar of national competitiveness. Korea—already globally recognized for its quality and technological prowess through K-Food and K-Beauty—is now leading a new wave: K-Health.
Noteworthy data from the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) highlights this trend:
· Domestic health functional food market reached approximately KRW 6.2 trillion in 2023
· 19.6% growth in healthcare product exports compared to 2022
(Major export markets: USA, China, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.)
These numbers reflect how Korea’s healthcare industry is expanding beyond domestic consumption and increasing its presence in the global market. Korean products—especially health functional foods and devices—are gaining recognition for their scientific backing, safety, and high-performance ingredients, strengthening their image as trusted healthcare brands.
