As two neighboring countries, China and South Korea have a natural foundation for economic and trade exchanges. At present, China is South Korea’s largest foreign trade country. Due to the advanced industrial level in Korea, Dongqi Crane, as a Chinese crane supplier, has not yet opened up the Korean crane market. The Netherlands is South Korea’s largest source of crane imports. However, we believe that as China’s industrial level becomes stronger and stronger, one day it will be possible to sell crane equipment made in China to the Korean market. Despite the current headwinds, it is important to study the crane market in South Korea. This article will analyze the market size and import and export data of overhead cranes in South Korea, and analyze the development and changes of the crane market in South Korea in 2022.
