초록

본 연구의 목적은 미국과 일본을 타깃시장으로 선정하여 건강관심도에 따른 인구 통계학적 분석과 식품선택 동기를 파악함으로써 소비자 니즈를 반영하여 마케팅 전략 구축의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며 향후 해당 국가의 소비자들의 건강하고 올바른 식품 선택에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 미국 115명, 일본 120명의 현지 소비자들을 대상으로 수집된 자료를 SPSS (ver. 25.0) 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 분석을 진행하였다. 전체 소비자의 군집별 미국과 일본 소비자를 대상으로 진행한 건강관심도에 따른 인구 통계학적 분석과 식품선택 동기에 관한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 건강관심도에 따라 '건강한 식습관 지향 집단', '영양 균형 지향 집단', '건강 무관심 집단'으로 군집을 나누었으며, 건강관심도에 따른 인구통계학적 분석은 국가, 성별, 연령, 교육 수준의 항목에서 유의적인 차이를 나타냈다. 건강관심도 집단별 식품선택 동기의 결과로는 건강 무관심 집단은 다른 집단과 비교했을 때 건강, 효율성, 가치, 기분 4가지 요인 모두 상대적으로 낮게 조사되었으며, 군집에 따라 점수의 차이는 있지만 세 집단 모두 자신이 투자한 시간에 대비하여 맛이나 조리시간 등의 효율성을 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 전 세계적으로 생활양식이 변화하면서 식품선택 동기가 변화하고 있음을 반영하는 것으로 소비자들이 식품 소비에 있어 투자한 시간이나 자산대비 더 높은 만족감을 얻고자 함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구 결과는 미국과 일본 소비자의 건강하고 올바른 식품 선택을 기반으로 하는 해당 국가의 외식시장 진입전략의 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이며, 소비자의 니즈가 반영된 제품개발 방향을 제시하여 미국과 일본 소비자의 건강하고 올바른 식품 선택에 기여할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to understand the health interest of consumers in the United States and Japan and thus understand the motivation of food choices, in order to provide basic data on the country's strategy based on healthy and correct food choices in the future. Methods: A customer survey was conducted in 2019 from October 18 to 31, and it targeted 115 American and 120 Japanese local consumers between the ages of 20- to 64-years-old. Eight questions were formed using General Health Interest. Based on food choice motivation, 27 questions were reconstructed and asked about demographic information. All data were analyzed by SPSS Statistics (ver. 25). Results: Health consciousness was categorized into 2 types: nutrition-seeking type and preference-seeking type. Based on these 2 factors, customers were grouped into 3 clusters: healthy dietary life-seeking group, nutrition balance-seeking group and health indifference group. Food choice motivation was categorized into 4 types: health, efficiency, value, and mood. All 3 groups showed a high tendency for efficiency in common. The results show that consumers want higher satisfaction with their time and money invested in food consumption. It is believed that the focus and investment of market segmentation strategy should be focused on product development, especially for American and Japanese consumers who are interested in health. Conclusion: The results of this study reflect consumer needs that can assist in the selection of healthy and correct foods in the future.
