On June 1, Gyeonggi Province announced that it generated approximately USD 41.21 million in export deals through the exhibition and export consultations held at the 2026 G-FAIR China, in Chongqing, China, from May 21 to 24.
G-FAIR China is one of Gyeonggi Province’s flagship international exhibitions designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises of Korea expand into overseas markets, particularly in western China. This year’s event was held in a “show-in-show” format alongside the 8th Western China International Fair for Investment and Trade (WCIFIT), providing Korean exporting SMEs with broader opportunities to expand their sales channels and export networks.
A total of 50 promising SMEs from Gyeonggi Province participated in the event, engaging in active business consultations with local buyers. With K-beauty and smart manufacturing equipment as key sectors, participating companies generated export deals totaling USD 41.21 million. Korean products continue to receive favorable evaluations from buyers in western China for advanced technology and high quality.
One notable participant was careCL, a beauty device manufacturer based in Goyang. During the exhibition, the company held consultations with a major Chongqing-based distributor specializing in professional beauty and medical equipment supplied to local hospitals and healthcare institutions. Impressed by the advanced technology of Korean skincare devices, the buyer expressed interest on-site and wished to secure exclusive distribution rights for the Chinese market. The two companies continued discussions regarding an exclusive distribution agreement valued at USD 414,000. Through similar consultations held during G-FAIR China, the participating companies secured a total of 27 export agreements valued at approximately USD 11.82 million.
Park Geun-gyun, Director General of the International Cooperation Bureau at Gyeonggi Province, stated, “We’ve witnessed strong interest in K-brands among buyers in western China during the consultation meetings. This provides significant momentum for exports by SMEs in our province,” adding, “We will do our best to strengthen our support programs so that Gyeonggi-based companies can achieve tangible results in global markets.”
