Abstract
China’s rural consumer market has exhibited extraordinary growth. Over the past decade, the consumption growth rate and average propensity to consume of rural residents have surpassed those of their urban counterparts, with the former’s consumption patterns becoming increasingly similar to the latter’s. Such a phenomenon prevails in rural areas that neighbor 2nd and 3rd tier cities whose urbanization is progressing rapidly. Accordingly, Korean companies must diversify their products in line with China’s expanding rural markets while further differentiating product composition to satisfy the heterogeneous demands in urban markets. As for the government, efforts must be placed in strengthening the export cooperative system targeting China between domestic manufacturers, distributors (operating in China) and logistics companies.
