South Korea's insect industry recorded sales of 59.1 billion won in 2025, up 11.8% from the previous year, despite a 6.4% decline in registered businesses. Black soldier fly sales rose 65.3% to 16.8 billion won, supported by rising demand for the insect as a feed ingredient and fishmeal substitute.
