BIMOS 2014 to Create Bigger Business Opportunity than Ex-version with Ever Largest Size

Korea’s recent vehicle production (in March) increased by 16.4% over a year earlier to 425,510 units, thanks to the increase in both domestic sales and exports.

Domestic sales in March grew by 2.9% year-on-year to 122,497 units, for three consecutive months of growth, thanks to economic recovery, newly released models and increased demands for RVs. Home sales in the first quarter rose by 4.3% to 337,587 units.

In spite of the economic uncertainty for emerging markets caused by the U.S. tapering of quantitative easing, exports in March increased by 9.9% year-on-year at 286,754 units, the second consecutive monthly gain, owing to the economic recovery of the major markets such as North America, West Europe and China, coupled with the increased supply volume by major automakers and newly
launched RV models.

While taking advantage of this positive environment, the Korean automotive industry seeks to achieve even bigger performance through the upcoming Busan International Motor Show (BIMOS) 2014. The show approaches with the ever-largest size and a whopping 10-day period from May 30 (Fri) through 8 (Sun).
