(MENAFN) Customs data showed that exports of South Korean-made air purifiers surpassed USD100 million for the first time last year, driven by demand from China, Yonhap News reported.
Figures from the Korea Customs Service (KCS) showed that outbound shipments reached USD119.1 million for the full year of 2014, increasing sharply by 33.3 percent compared to 2013.
China demand peaked in April and May, a trend recurring for the past two years, apparently from yellow dust that affects the northwestern part of the country, including Beijing, in spring time.
Malaysia was the largest overseas manufacturer of air purifiers imported, making up 67.8 percent of the total, followed by 22.2 percent for China and 6.4 percent for Switzerland.
