KOTRA and the Korea Institute of Aviation Safety Technology (KIAST) recently announced that they were hosting a Korean Pavilion at the world’s largest unmanned mobility exhibition ‘Xponential 2025’ held in Houston, USA from May 19 to 22, and held export consultation meetings for Korean companies seeking to enter the U.S. market.
KOTRA focused on expanding local partnerships and promoting technology at this event through the Korean pavilion exhibition booths, export consultation meetings, and PR center operation. A total of 11 Korean companies participated, conducted 191 consultations, and signed 15 on-site MOUs, thereby expanding opportunities for cooperation with global drone companies.
Xponential is the world’s largest unmanned mobility exhibition hosted by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), and is held annually in major cities in the United States.

 More than 7,500 persons from 60 countries participated in this year’s event, and it was a venue to share the latest technologies and industry trends such as drones, military unmanned vehicles, and autonomous driving systems. In addition to booth exhibitions, Xponential provided opportunities for cooperation and information exchanges among industries through various programs such as technology conferences and panel discussions.
The drone industry market size in the United States is worth approximately $12.1 billion as of 2024, and is expected to grow by an average of 9.2% annually to $17.2 billion by 2028 due to recent increases in demand. The U.S. government plans to invest more than $4 billion in research and development (R&D) and demonstration projects in the unmanned mobility field, including drones, and is also preparing regulations and policies to strengthen national security.

In particular, the U.S. Congress has recently been proposing bills (the Security Drone Act and the China Drone Response Act) to restrict the import of Chinese drones for reasons of national security. Accordingly, the proportion of Chinese imports, which reached 85% in 2023, has decreased to less than 30% as of the first quarter of 2025.
Amid these changes, imports from third countries such as Vietnam and Switzerland are increasing, and it is expected that Korea’s drone companies will now have more opportunities to enter the U.S. market.

[INQ. NO. 2506M16] A reel is a common item we encounter in our daily lives, such as a vacuum cleaner reel used to automatically rewind the cable after it was pulled out.
Meanwhile, an industrial reel is a device that is based on the same principle and applied to manufacturing facilities and industrial and service sites so as to keep workplaces neat and tidy, secure cleanness, and increase safety, work efficiency and productivity of workers.
Moreover, a reel is also used as an essential supporting item attached to various special vehicles (fire trucks, expensive ladder trucks, etc.), as well as to cranes, heavy equipment, etc., to increase their functions and added value.

Cables or hoses are needed to deliver or supply electricity, air, water, oil, gas, etc., on sites for manufacturing, farming, construction, mining, ports, vessels, special vehicles, cranes, heavy equipment, and for service sites (repair shops, gas stations, kitchens, etc.). In short, a reel is a device used to roll up such cables and hoses and pull them up when necessary.
Industrial reels are divided into versatile standard reels and customized reels specifically manufactured for work site conditions. In particular, those customized reels, which are used for very dangerous environments including mines, oceans, etc., require advanced designs and engineering technologies.

Depending on the types of driving systems, there are hand crank reels, spring-driven reels, and motor-driven reels. And they are also categorized into cable reels, air reels, oil reels, gas hose reels, etc., based on the medium delivered and supplied.
The CEO of Koreel explained, “Our company recently completed and is operating an industrial reel factory equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and production systems in the Industrial Complex near Jeonju.
