Gyeonggi Province Achieves $9.06 Million in Export Consultations at French Automotive Parts Exhibition

Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency participated in the automotive parts exhibition "EQUIP AUTO 2025," held from the 14th to the 18th at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris, France, achieving export consultations totaling 9.06 million US dollars.

EQUIP AUTO, along with Germany's "Automechanika" and the United States' "AAPEX," is one of the world's top three automotive parts and aftermarket exhibitions, serving as a global business platform where key companies in the European automotive industry participate in large numbers.

This year's event, under the theme "Mobility of Tomorrow," showcased core technologies driving the transformation of the future automotive industry, including electrification, autonomous driving, eco-friendly components, and smart maintenance solutions.

Gyeonggi Province selected 15 promising small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in automotive parts, electronic components, eco-friendly materials, and maintenance solutions to form the Gyeonggi Pavilion. The province provided support to participating companies, including on-site consultations, interpretation services, and transportation of exhibits.

As a result, a total of 276 consultations were held, leading to export consultations worth 9.06 million US dollars and the promotion of export contracts amounting to approximately 1.71 million US dollars.

Park Kyungseo, Director of International Trade at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Despite the recent Korea-US tariff negotiations, the 25% tariff on automobiles, which is a core industry in Gyeonggi Province, remains in place, and the crisis in the related industry continues. Gyeonggi Province will continue to strengthen practical overseas marketing support to overcome trade crises and actively support small and medium-sized enterprises to secure competitiveness in the global market."

Gyeonggi Province is a key industrial hub, accounting for 23.2% of domestic automobile export companies. However, due to the US's 25% tariff measures this year, companies in the province have been particularly affected. To support small and medium-sized automotive companies in finding alternative markets and diversifying exports, the province participated in this exhibition.
