초록

Purpose: This study aims to explore how the modern foodservice industry reflects consumers' rapidly changing taste preferences and health consciousness. In particular, it looks at how companies such as Yakult Korea are expanding their business to meet diverse consumer demands and how traditional and exotic tastes are driving the growth of the sauce market. Research methods: this study was conducted through market analysis, consumer behavior research and case studies. Sales data, consumer purchasing patterns and product development strategy case studies of sauce products in domestic and global markets were investigated to analyze the impact of taste and health harmony and storytelling on brand value. Conclusion: The foodservice industry is meeting consumer expectations for health and taste harmony by developing innovative products that satisfy the senses and adopting marketing strategies through strong storytelling. The success of exotic sauce products in particular reflects consumers' desire for diversity. Implications: the findings suggest that the foodservice industry must continue to innovate to meet consumers' health and taste expectations. They also reveal that product storytelling plays an important role in enhancing brand value. This requires a strategic approach to long-term brand growth and market differentiation. Companies need to reflect these changes in consumer buying behavior.
