2. Bridgehead for entry into North America
- Supply Chain Bypass and Friend Shoring
Canada is a strategic hub near the border with excellent potential for expansion into the U.S. market. As President Trump’s trade pressure and sanctions against China intensify, South Korea and Canada are bound to strengthen their "friend-shoring" supply chains as allies who share "free trade values.".
3. Diversification of trade risks in the North American market (USMCA)
Korean companies should adopt a strategy of securing alternative bases in North America by actively utilizing the FTA with Canada to reduce trade risks associated with direct entry into the United States. At the same time, constant risk management is necessary, as there is a possibility that the Trump administration may readjust the USMCA (United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement) itself or apply high tariffs to products transiting through Canada.
4. High reliability
Thanks to the global spread of Korean artists and culture, positive perceptions of Korean-made brands among Canadian consumers have grown, leading to high trust in Korean products. You must row the boat while the tide is coming in.
