Market outlook

In recent years, due to the active international trade policy adopted by the South Korean government, it has become one of the key overseas markets for China's export-oriented enterprises. As one of the world's major producers and exporters of electronic products, China's electronic and optoelectronic manufacturing industry is constantly improving its international competitiveness, and the role of the information industry as a pillar of the national economy is constantly increasing. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the ROK for more than a decade, there has been a breakthrough in cooperation between the two countries. In addition, in addition to the substantial increase in the total volume of trade, China and South Korea are constantly expanding the scope of cooperation and deepening the level of cooperation, among which the trade of electronic products has become an important part of the trade between the two countries.

South Korea's electronics industry is developing rapidly, and it is currently vigorously developing knowledge-based and high-value-added industries such as information and communication, biology and new materials, and new energy. The economies of China and South Korea have a certain degree of complementarity, not only the relationship between commodity supply and demand trade, but also the possibility of technical cooperation. For a long time, the Korea Electronics Show has become an intermediate bridge for cooperation between Chinese and Korean enterprises, and Chinese electronics companies have obtained the opportunity to communicate and cooperate with outstanding Korean enterprises at the exhibition, and quickly open up the Korean and overseas markets.
