For years, South Korea has represented a thriving global market—one that Western companies should consider serving, especially online.

It’s a perfect storm of opportunity: South Korea is Asia’s fourth-largest economy by GDP, it’s highly industrialized, and its economy has grown annually by an average of 7% for almost 50 years straight.

Its high-speed Internet and smartphone penetration rates are also through the roof, making this hyper-connected market online-fluent and ripe for engagement.

But is your company fluent in the South Korean market, and how to serve its customers? These days, launching translated websites and highly-localized content and promotions is easier than ever. And due to the way retailers price products there, Korean consumers are crazy to buy from Western websites-particularly American ones. They save lots of money that way!
