Outdoor Market Helps Korean Prosperity


South Korea is located between Japan and China, two major economic powers. While increasing its own strength globally, the Korean sports industry is becoming increasingly important. From November 7th to 8th, 2016, ISPO Academy South Korea Station was officially staged. The supporting unit for this event is Korea Outdoor and Sports Industry Association (KOIA).

“Over the past few years, the strong and robust growth of the Korean economy has shocked the world. In particular, the market share of the Korean automotive and electronics industry has grown rapidly in the Western Hemisphere through innovative, high-quality products.” CEO HuginBiz and Scandinavian Martin Kössler, founder of SOG, said. At the invitation of the Korea Outdoor and Sports Industry Association, Kosler made a speech at the ISPO Academy Seoul Station.

He believes that "Korea has the potential to replicate the success of the automotive and electronics industries in the outdoor market, making it Korea's third largest export source."


Focus on Asian sports market


The theme of the event will focus on the Asian market. The event looked at the extremely important Korean, Japanese and Chinese markets from multiple perspectives and focused on the 2017 sports trend, the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and their impact on the Asian sports market.

South Korea is the second largest outdoor market in Asia, but in the past few years, the outdoor industry has struggled. Park Man Young, chairman of the Korean Outdoor and Sports Industry Association, said, “We hope to work with the ISPO Academy to revitalize the outdoor and sports industries and start Long-term projects. Through this activity, we hope to attract more market participants - governments, distributors, brands, manufacturers, wholesalers, marketers and media representatives."
