A market analysis based on social media data in South Korea shows that consumers are increasingly concerned about commodity prices, with a focus on low prices and small packaging commodities. This reflects that consumers are paying more attention to economic efficiency to cope with prolonged inflation. According to a recent report by The Korea Business Journal, the market research institution KPR Digital Communication Research Institute analyzed 6.23 million social media posts and found that mentions of inflation-related keywords nearly doubled, rising from about 0.448 million posts in January to over 0.86 million posts in November. The report indicates that the public remains highly concerned about high prices, highlighting the economic pressures faced by households. (Xinhua News Agency)
