South Korea is a world logistics power and central to the supply chain in Asia. The logistics market in the country produced USD 171 billion in 2024 and, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.5, is expected to amount to USD 279.7 billion in 2030. This is driven by the strategic position of the country, superior infrastructure and a booming export-based economy.
The industries like semiconductors, automotive, petrochemicals, and e-commerce lead to the need for complex logistics solutions. Research revealed that the government has a Smart Logistics Innovation Strategy that seeks to make supply chains efficient with the use of AI and IoT technologies and has invested USD 300 million to modernize logistics facilities. The necessity of efficient, reliable and scalable logistics services is getting more and more acute along with the growth of these sectors.
