Ceaselessly Presenting New Competitive Items
South Korea recorded its highest-ever monthly exports — surpassing the $120 billion mark — last month, thereby exceeding $800 billion in annual exports for the first time in history.
Semiconductor exports in September hit $60.3 billion, a massive 262.8% increase year-on-year, marking the first time the sector has crossed the $60 billion threshold. This surge followed three consecutive months of exports exceeding $40 billion.
The semiconductor sector maintained strong momentum, fueled by sustained demand for memory chips, increased export volumes, and rising fixed prices. Prices steadily climbed; for instance, the price of DDR5 16Gb chips rose from $37.50 in May to $48.00 last month, while NAND 128Gb chips increased from $26.50 to $30.60 over the same period.
Other IT products also showed strong performance. Computer exports surged by 435.3%, driven by rising demand for enterprise-grade solid-state drives (SSDs) — a trend fueled by the proliferation of agentic AI and expanded global investment in AI infrastructure. Exports reached $7 billion, marking an all-time monthly high.
Exports of wireless communication devices climbed by 23.4% to $2.14 billion — extending a streak of growth to 11 consecutive months — driven by strong sales of premium models like the Galaxy Z8 series and S26 Ultra, as well as increased exports of iPhone components.
While accomplishing such remarkable export performance, Korean export companies are ceaselessly releasing new competitive products and knocking on the doors of global markets. Creative efforts are ceaselessly being made toward accomplishing their higher export performance goals for this year.
