On the other hand, ASEAN plus Korea may pose a greater threat to Taiwan. Despite the smaller size of the Korean market, fabrics are a key export for its textile makers, thus their product mix overlaps much more closely with that of Taiwanese makers.
值得注意的是，「東協加韓國」儘管市場規模較小，卻因為韓國紡織業也以布料為出口重點，和台灣相似度高，因而更具威脅性。
