According to Euromonitor's 2022 report, the global ginseng retail market last 
year was approximately USD 2.47 billion (KRW 3.139 trillion). Among them, 
CheongKwanJang recorded a market share of 41.9% with sales of about USD 1.038 
billion(KRW 1.319 trillion).

The survey of the 'Ginseng' category includes only processed ginseng products 
(in the form of products such as concentrated liquid or root ginseng) sold at 
retail stores all over the world, excluding general fresh ginseng and wholesale 
sales.

CheongKwanJang, which ranked first in 2013 with sales of USD 731 million, 
achieved a sales growth rate of about 42% higher than 10 years ago according to 
this survey, and takes an honor in ranking No. 1 in market share in the global 
ginseng retail market for 10 consecutive years.

Meanwhile, in the third quarter of last year, KGC made KRW 429 billion in sales 
and KRW 74.8 billion in operating profit, up 2.7% and 9.2% year-on-year, 
respectively. Overseas export performance has contributed outstandingly to the 
improvement. Overseas sales in the third quarter of KGC recorded KRW 50.8 
billion, up 6.9% from the same period last year.

Overseas sales are gradually expanding from Mainland China, Taiwan, and 
Southeast Asia to Europe and the Middle East. In addition, KGC analyzed that 
the 'global localization strategy', such as rebuilding a local business model 
with marketing activities targeting local consumers and strengthening the 
competitiveness of the global online business by establishing a platform 
suitable for each country's digital market environment, led to improved 
overseas export performance.

KGC stated that through this Euromonitor's announcement, it was possible to 
confirm once again the status of Korea as the birthplace of ginseng and 
CheongKwanJang as the world's No. 1 ginseng brand, plus KGC added that it would 
lead the globalization of Korean ginseng until it could be responsible for the 
health of people in the world.
