Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the market potential of 'Hwanggeumsantari', a new oyster mushroom variety developed in Gyeonggi Province in 2019, and to derive effective market entry strategies. To objectively assess the marketability of 'Hwanggeumsantari' from various perspectives, a panel of 50 consumers was formed, and surveys and interviews were conducted. Additionally, two Focus Group Interviews were held with distributors in the agri-food sector. The results showed that potential consumers were positive about the color and texture of 'Hwanggeumsantari', but expressed relatively less satisfaction with its shelf life and aroma. Distributors, through tow Focus Group Interviews, evaluated that the product had sufficient market competitiveness, but called for efforts to improve cultivation techniques and enhance price competitiveness. Based on the results of market evaluations by consumers and distributors, a SWOT analysis was conducted. The main strengths identified were its outstanding color and texture, while the main weakness was its freshness issue. Meanwhile, the growing demand for healthy foods and various online sales channels could provide market entry opportunities for 'Hwanggeumsantari', but high sensitivity to price in the case of premium pricing could pose a threat. Consequently, a market entry strategy for 'Hwanggeumsantari' was proposed using a 4P mix approach based on the SWOT analysis results. The product strategy emphasized premium positioning, small packaging, and the development of packaging technology to maintain freshness. The price strategy proposed premium pricing and the operation of incentive programs. The distribution strategy suggested channel diversification, direct stores, or direct sales, while the promotion strategy emphasized storytelling and collaboration with influencers.

본 연구는 신품종 느타리버섯인 '황금산타리'의 시장성을 평가하고 효과적인 시장 진입 전략을 제안하고자 하였다. 2023년 4월부터 2024년 4월까지 소비자와 유통인을 대상으로 3회에 걸쳐 실시된 시장성 평가를 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하는 방식으로 수행되었다. 소비자 평가에서 '황금산타리'는 독특한 색상과 식감으로 긍정적인 평가를 받았으나, 저장성 및 향에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 유통인들은 '황금산타리'의 상품 경쟁력을 인정하면서도 재배 기술 개선과 가격 경쟁력 확보가 필요하다고 평가하였다. SWOT 분석 결과, 프리미엄 시장에서의 포지셔닝 가능성, 중·장년층 소비자층의 높은 만족도 등 강점이 도출되었으며, 이를 토대로 4P Mix 방식의 시장 진입 전략을 제시하였다. 제품 전략으로 프리미엄 포지셔닝, 소포장, 신선도 유지를 위한 포장 기술 개발이 필요했으며 이에 대한 가격 전략으로는 프리미엄 가격 책정과 인센티브 프로그램 운영을 제시했다. 유통 전략으로 채널 다양화, 직매장 또는 직거래 판매 등이 적합했으며 프로모션 전략으로 스토리텔링이나 인플루언서 협업 등을 강조했다.
