Abstract

Sports globalization is impacting the importation and exportation of sports apparel and equipment on a national and international scale. According to reported Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal, the sport industry ranked as a top fourth industry in the United States which equaled approximately US$300,000 million in sales during 2006.1 In comparison, it revealed that South Korea had nearly US$130,000 million of sports business in 2002 (Park et al., 2004). Of the entire amount about US$26,000 million, representing 17 percent were derived from sales of sport apparel and equipment in 2002. Thus, it appears that the sports industry represents a significant and expanding consumer product market for both the United States and South Korea.
