글로벌 전자상거래 물류센터의 유치 확대방안에 관한 연구

Purpose– This study was conducted to suggest government’s support measures for attracting the Global Distribution Center (GDC) in South Korea of global e-commerce sellers. Design/Methodology– Based on a literature review, this study focused on GDC in South Korea for reducing logistics costs and shortening delivery time in order to respond the rapid growth of e-commerce in the asian market. Findings– Recently, since the trade environment is rapidly changing due to the emergence of new cross-border trade forms along with the rapid growth of the global e-commerce market, the Korean government has been trying to attract the GDC from 2018 to revitalize the domestic logistics industry and expand transshipment cargo. Thanks to the efforts of the government and a domestic logistics company, the CJ Korea Express attracted a global e-commerce seller, i-Hurb of the United States, and has been operating GDC in the Incheon Airport International Free Trade Zone. Research Implication or Originality– To expand GDC attraction, many tasks still remain for supplementation. In particular, the current requirements of logistics companies such as permitting the diver+-sity of goods brought into the GDC, allowing domestic sales, and easing quarantine regulations should be actively reviewed and related systems should be supplemented. In addition, more efforts should be made to build the infrastructures such as supplementing the relevant systems so that the GDC can perform the Fulfillment service function and establishing dedicated e-commerce logistics complexes in Incheon airport and port.
