Yangsan-si, Future New Growth Engine 'Anti-Aging' Industry Support Achievements Draw Attention

Sales Increase of 25.4 Billion KRW, Creation of 94 Jobs Achieved

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 15th that the anti-aging industry support project, promoted as a future new growth engine business, is showing outstanding results.

Since 2016, Yangsan City has established a specialized support cluster in the anti-aging field at Pusan National University Yangsan Campus to support technology development and commercialization in the medical device sector.

Starting from this, the support has expanded to all anti-aging sectors including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and health functional foods, achieving direct and indirect results of 25.4 billion KRW in increased sales and the creation of 94 jobs.

From this year, in response to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, a specialized support program has been newly established and operated to overcome the crisis caused by the sharp decline in sales of infection prevention industry companies such as masks and hand sanitizers, to provide a foothold for rapid market entry, and to build a foundation for sustainable growth.

A Yangsan City official said, “We will prepare various nurturing measures so that the anti-aging industry can lead the advancement of the regional industrial structure and provide a stepping stone for companies to take off.”
