Findings: The introduction is described in chapterⅠ. The chapter Ⅱ investigated the definition of environmental products and suggests relevant studies for international competitiveness of environmental products. The chapter Ⅲ examines the range of environmental products used in current study and the trade situation of Korean environmental products. The chapter Ⅳ measures the international competitiveness of environmental products by sectors. The final chapter is describes a summary and implications of the study. Originality/Value: It is difficult to reach an agreement for the definition of environmental products between advanced and developing countries due to distinct opinion gaps and positional differences between them. However, the trade of environmental products are increasing rapidly as the concerns for environmental problems are mounting. As the trade liberalization of environmental products is promoted, it seems meaningful to estimate the international competitiveness of Korean environmental products by sectors. Furthermore, it provides a foothold for domestic environmental industries.
