Samyang Foods saws sales surpass 2 trillion won in sales for the first time since its founding. It came two years after the company posted 1 trillion won in sales in 2023.
Samyang Foods said on Jan. 29 that it chalked up 2,351.8 billion won in sales and 523.9 billion won in operating profit in 2025 on a consolidated basis.
The figures represent a 36 percent year-on-year sales surge and a 52 percent year-on-year jump in operating profit, renewing the previous best-ever performance.
The latest best-ever performance was owed to accelerated growth, couped with the expanded overseas business on the back of the global mega brand “Buldak” and enlarged production infrastructure.
Samyang Foods saw sales double in two years after posting 1 trillion won for the first time in 2023 and operating profit surge from 140 billion won to 500 billion won, a three-fold jump.
Last year, the company focused on diversifying export destinations based on the global standing of the brand Buldak and expanding its presence in U.S. and European mainstream distribution networks.
The company also achieved a good performance amid uncertain outside environment conditions by expanding production capacity through the inauguration of the Milyang II Plant.
In particular, the brand Buldak proved its competitive edge on the global market once again by selling 1 billion pieces only during the second half of last year.
A Samyang Foods official said, “The brand Buldak has been seeing steady demand like a daily item, and we will maintain growth by strengthening production and distribution infrastructure in keeping with the trends.”
