Pulmuone “YalP Mandoo (Korean dumpling)” launched on March 2019 and hit 10 million sales in just 11 months after launch, causing a great shift in the Korean frozen dumpling market. With the incredibly thin 0.7mm skin, YalP Mandoo has the thinnest skin of dumplings in the market. It’s so thin, it’s possible to see dumpling filling with the naked eye. As the dumpling skin is thin but chewy, and isn’t easily torn, you can enjoy it fried, steamed, boiled, or in soup. In addition, the dumpling skin minimizes the part where the dumpling skin is folded, which means that it KRW’t become dry and hard, even when cooked in a microwave or air fryer.
With 500,000 sales in 10 days and 1.2 million sales in a month since the launch of YalP Mandoo, the product showed strong signs of success. Since then, it has sold max 2 million packages in a month with word-of-mouth-sales and hit 10 million sales in about 7 months. YalP Mandoo, which was launched as meat dumplings and kimchi dumplings in March, was released in July for convenience stores due to its popularity among customers. This then led to the launch of “Ddang Cho Mandoo,” which is addictive spicy product, in December.
According to data from Nielsen, a market research institute, Pulmuone occupied the fourth position with 10% of the frozen dumpling’s market share in 2018, but in September 2019, it occupied the second position by doubling its market share to 20.8%. Pulmuone will make its utmost efforts to position YalP Mandoo as a Korea’s representative mandoo brand. The company will grow with annual sales of more than 100 billion KRW and spread Korean-style dumplings with thin skin to the global market through overseas exports.
