Korean Exporters Taking Big-Steps For 2025
Recording the best exports ever last year

Korea’s exports rose by 8.2% year-on-year to US$683.8 billion, while imports decreased by 1.6% to $632 billion. The trade balance thus recorded a surplus of $51.8 billion, breaking the record for the largest export volume ever.
The top contributor to exports is semiconductors, which recorded the highest export volume ever, and exports of all IT items, including wireless communication devices, displays, and computers, showed consistently good performance.

Exports of semiconductors, the largest export item, increased by 43.9% to $141.9 billion, continuing the 14-month consecutive increase since November 2023 and breaking the previous record of $129.2 billion in 2022 in two years. In particular, in the fourth quarter, despite the decline in general memory prices, exports expanded, focusing on high value-added items such as DDR5 and HBM, leading to improved performance.
Exports of all IT items, including wireless communication devices, displays, and computers, also achieved a new record by recording positive figures for the first time in three years since 2021.

Automobile exports recorded $70.8 billion, maintaining a steady level from the previous year, due to some production disruptions caused by strikes in major auto and parts industries in the second half of the year, but continued to record good performances of over $70 billion for two consecutive years.
Ship exports reached $25.6 billion in 2021, with high value-added ships such as LNG carriers and large container ships ordered at high prices being exported in earnest.
In 2025, Korean exporters are seeking to pioneer promising global markets, backed by the competitiveness of their own products.

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2404E13] VUNO, Korea’s representative medical AI company, recently showcased the prototype of its kiosk-type electrocardiogram measuring equipment, Hativ K30, for the first time at KIMES 2024. The instrument is slated to be officially launched in the latter half of this year.
VUNO is working to build a healthcare ecosystem that connects individuals and hospitals by continuously expanding the scope of its chronic disease management brand, Hativ.
In January 2023, VUNO launched ‘Hativ,’ its chronic illness management brand consisting of three at-home-use medical devices including an electrocardiogram measurement medical device, blood pressure measurement device, and thermometer ― as well as a health monitoring mobile application. This is an example of how the company has expanded its business scope to B2C (Business to consumer).

Its flagship product, ‘Hativ P30,’ is a home ECG measurement medical device that analyzes ECG data and provides analysis results such as normal rhythm, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia. The product is small and portable, so it can easily measure heart signals anytime, anywhere within 30 seconds. The analysis results can be checked at a glance through the ‘Hativ Care’ app.
In addition, since it enables 6-lead precise measurement, it is easy to use compared to the 12-lead measurement method used at hospitals where electrocardiogram is measured by attaching 10 electrodes to the body. When compared to smart watches and other wearable devices that use a single-lead method, ‘Hativ P30’ provides more accurate information.
Through participating in KIMES 2024, VUNO showcased ‘Hativ K30,’ a kiosk-type electrocardiogram measurement device for hospitals and public institutions. This model which will be officially launched in the latter half of 2024 enables precise measurement with the 6-lead method and offers real-time measurement results, just like ‘Hativ P30.’
Through participating in KIMES 2024, VUNO aimed to expand its ‘Hativ’ portfolio and to expand the market for medical devices for electrocardiogram measurement from home to specialized institutions.
