The awareness of Kimchi is still quite low among a large segment of people. This is a significant hindrance to the growth of the Kimchi market. A large part of the world is still unaware of Korean cuisine and thus is not open to consuming Kimchi. Moreover, the market may also be hindered by people who may not enjoy the taste of Kimchi, as well as the availability of local fermented foods, such as Sauerkraut or pickles.
