South Korean shops adopt robots and self-service
Unstaffed stores are spreading across South Korea, relying on robots and self-service options to reduce labor costs, especially amidst a labor shortage, an aging population, and rising wages. By the end of 2024, the number of these stores reached approximately nine thousand, with expectations of significant growth between 2020 and 2025. These stores are more prevalent in South Korea compared to other countries, including grocery stores, pet supply shops, and clothing stores, where owners are struggling to hire new workers.
