An economic snapshot of South Korea

Statista overview report on the development of South Korea's economy

An economic snapshot of South Korea

South Korea is located on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. With a landmass that just exceeds 100,000 square kilometers, it is a little larger than the U.S. state of Indiana. However, despite its size, South Korea is ranked among the world’s largest economies.

This report provides an overview of the socioeconomic status quo in South Korea, accompanied by a retrospective insight as to how the nation has developed from a battlefield to a tech-driven economy. The report culminates with a SWOT analysis that considers South Korea’s international trade and relations, manufacturing industry, infrastructure, and demographic situation.
