According to Danisco Sweeteners's manager Nicholas Dunning, the company has been successful in South Korea with xylitol, and anticipates further growth in the country. South Korea is among the nations in the world with the highest per capita consumption of chewing gum.

Danisco and Lotte have also made a point of telling that xylitol is produced in Finland, which in South Korea is regarded as one of the cleanest and most exotic countries in the world.
