Changes in Leading Stocks and Market Environment
The strength of export-oriented items within the consumer goods sector, which have shown a surprising performance after the second quarter of this year, stands out. Undervalued stock prices and export, a growth engine, have led to the re-rating of the entire consumer goods export sector. Investors who are expecting the spread of the rally of export stocks expect the sustainability of the export momentum and are interested in the Korean export and import data of Aicel Technologies.
Products Captivating the U.S. Market
Food products such as instant noodles, frozen gimbap, and corn dogs continue to export at a steadily growing rate. Moreover, in the cosmetics and beauty sectors, export data for items like skincare cosmetics, including face mask packs, home beauty devices, and pimple patches, are drawing attention. These export growths are due to Korean products predominantly entering American retailers.
According to the Financial Times, Walmart has moved the display location of Shin Ramyun from the Asian corner to the main corner. This can be seen as a significant event, as Korean ramyun has been recognized as mainstream rather than being placed in a niche market labeled 'Asian food.' In addition, most American retailers are operating e-commerce, greatly enhancing accessibility to Korean products compared to offline.
