Many Korean small and medium enterprises performed exceptionally amid the economic recovery in 2021, particularly in the COVID-19 test kit and semiconductor chip equipment industries. Exports from Korea hit a record high last year, and plastics sales overseas took the biggest share. Exports of plastics surpassed $2.8 billion in the first half of 2021, exceeding $4.7 billion last October.

Top five export products Share % change 1 Plastics 4.9 29.1 2 Cosmetics 4.8 21.3 3 Car components 3.5 77.6 4 Synthetic resin 3.4 68.1 5 Chip equipment 3.4 17.6 Biggest importers of plastics from KoreaChina is the largest importer of Korean plastics. The US and Vietnam are the second and third- largest importers of Korean plastics, respectively. Plastic exports from Korea to China and the US respectively rose by 24.9% and 14.7% in the second quarter of 2021, compared with the same period in 2020. The increase rates for both came in at quarterly record highs. Battery separators particularly led plastic exports to China, while polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flooring materials and functional films to liquid-crystal display (LCD) drove exports to Vietnam and the US, respectively.
