This represents 22 percent of all imported vehicles to South Korea. A total of around 277,000 imported vehicles were sold in South Korea last year. Similar figures were reported for Japan by the Japan Automobile Import Association. There, over 28,700 vehicles were sold, each priced at more than 010 million yen (about $79,000). This represents a 23 percent increase over 2020 and is the highest figure since it was recorded in 2003. The total number of imported vehicles sold in Japan last year numbered more than 259,000 units. Many products linked to the automotive manufacture industries, f.e. example certain assembly line machinery and others, need a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.korea-certification.com\/en\/kcs\/kcs-mark\/\">KCs certification<\/a><\/strong> in order to be allowed import and use in the Korean market.\n&nbsp;\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.korea-certification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Audi-China.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" \/>\n&nbsp;\nAn automotive industry expert attributed the rising popularity to two reasons: the restriction of overseas travel due to the Covid 19 pandemic and a strong stock market in the two countries. This led to higher disposable income and more luxury vehicle purchases.\nIn contrast, the market in Korea and Japan faces several challenges in 2022. Both the shortage of semiconductors, the global pandemic and the situation in Ukraine led to impairments of the production chains. Observers continue to wait for further developments and are looking for an early recovery of sales figures after the crises have ended, as semiconductors have become more available again and more and more lockdowns in logistically critical cities such as Shanghai are being lifted by their governments.\nDoes your company operate in the automotive industry and have or plan to have business relationships with South Korea?
