Pyongyang Autumn International Commodity Exhibition, DPRK

The North Korean Commodity Exhibition in Pyongyang is currently the largest and most commercially successful international trade fair in North Korea. Established in 1998, it has been held annually; since 2005, it has been staged twice a year—once in spring and once in autumn. The exhibition is a major festive event for the North Korean public, attracting over 100,000 visitors each time.

North Korea operates a centrally planned economy, with enterprises typically organized as “corporations,” all of which are state-owned. Each year, numerous such corporations attend the exhibition to engage in procurement and business negotiations. Exhibition areas are divided into categories including building materials and furniture, motorcycles, electric vehicles, and tricycles, light industrial goods and household items, machinery, electronics, and electrical appliances, as well as food products and healthcare supplies.

The North Korean Commodity Exhibition in Pyongyang draws participation from more than 100 companies representing 20 countries, including China, Russia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Cuba, Mongolia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia, and others.

Beyond being the largest international trade show of the year in North Korea, the North Korean Commodity Exhibition also serves as the sole gateway for foreign companies seeking access to the North Korean market. Chinese enterprises can leverage their participation in this exhibition to showcase their products to the North Korean public and identify potential local partners.
