[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KGC Ginseng Corporation's red ginseng brand, CheongKwanJang, has ranked first in sales in the global ginseng market for 10 consecutive years.

On the 4th, KGC Ginseng Corporation announced this by citing the 2022 report from the global market research firm Euromonitor International.

Last year, the global ginseng retail market was valued at $2.47 billion (3.139 trillion KRW), of which CheongKwanJang's sales accounted for $1.038 billion (1.319 trillion KRW), representing 42%.
