Korean Exporters Relentlessly Marketing Competitive Export Items

Korea’s exports in February reached $67.45 billion, a 29.0% increase from the same month last year.
Semiconductors were the driving force behind Korea’s exports, reaching $25.16 billion in February, showing a remarkable 160.8% increase compared to the same month last year. This is in fact the highest monthly figure ever recorded. Semiconductor exports have remained above $20 billion for three consecutive months due to excess demand stemming from increased investment in artificial intelligence (AI), and the resulting surge in memory prices

In February, only five of Korea’s 15 major export items, including semiconductors, saw an increase in exports. Computers, wireless communication devices, ships, and biohealth were these items that saw export growth. Conversely, exports of automobiles and auto parts declined due to the Lunar New Year holidays. Exports of general machinery, petrochemicals, and steel also saw declines.
By region, exports increased in seven of the nine major export regions. Exports to the United States reached $12.85 billion, a 29.9% increase, marking the highest February performance ever. Exports to China also increased by 34.1% to $12.75 billion due to higher demand for semiconductors.

Following these achievements, Korean export manufacturing companies are continuously developing and launching new products. Companies are making every effort to achieve their export performance goals for this year, and are strategically engaging in research and development and market development.
