There are currently 17,900 printing enterprises in South Korea, with approximately 70,000 employees, and the annual export processing volume of printed products is about $200 million, with imports totaling about $110 million. The import value of printing equipment and materials is about $500 million (Germany and Japan are the main import countries), with exports amounting to about $150 million. The printing industry accounts for 1.2% of the total industrial output value of South Korea. Most of the printing machines in South Korea rely on imports, so exports are very important for the South Korean printing industry. In the past, the South Korean printing industry was mainly focused on the domestic market, but this situation is changing because the domestic printing market in South Korea has become overly competitive and production capacity has exceeded demand. Many South Korean printing companies have begun to actively explore international markets, and this change is particularly evident among large enterprises, which have developed organized, efficient, and feasible export strategies.

The Korea International Printing Machinery and Equipment Exhibition - Korea Printing Industry Exhibition (KIPES) promotes its activities through recognized global exhibitions and recruits decision-makers through the Asia 10-country Printing Alliance, providing a differentiated stage.
