[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] As the government plans to implement a phased transition to 'With Corona' for gradual daily recovery starting in November, Abko, the nation's top gaming device company, is showing strong performance. This follows news of the lifting of operating hour restrictions for PC bangs.
As of 9:50 AM on the 27th, Abko is trading at 16,050 KRW, up 4.56% from the previous trading day.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare proposed a plan to ease quarantine measures in three stages from November, with intervals of '4 weeks of operation and 2 weeks of risk assessment.' In the first phase of the revision, time restrictions on multi-use facilities such as PC bangs, movie theaters, and academies will be lifted.
Abko sells gaming devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets, as well as small home appliances. In particular, it holds a dominant 90% market share in gaming devices for domestic PC bangs, securing an unrivaled first place.
Lee Choongheon, CEO of independent research firm Valuefinder, said, "With the With Corona policy, PC bangs are expected to benefit, and record-high performance is anticipated next year," adding, "The company is also actively expanding into overseas markets, entering 45 countries including the United States through Amazon."
