South Korea’s export expansion lost some steam in April 2026, with year‑on‑year growth in overseas shipments easing to 48.0%, down from 49.2% in March 2026. The data, updated on 1 May 2026, reflect a still‑strong but slightly moderating recovery in external demand when measured against the same period a year earlier.

Both the current and previous indicators are based on year‑over‑year comparisons, meaning April’s 48.0% figure shows how exports changed compared with April a year ago, while March’s 49.2% represents the change versus March a year earlier. The marginal slowdown suggests that, although South Korea continues to benefit from robust export conditions, the pace of improvement has begun to cool after earlier, stronger gains.
