South Korea’s exports surged in May 2026, with year-over-year growth accelerating to 53.2%, up from 48.0% in April 2026. The data, updated on 1 June 2026, highlight a strong upswing in overseas shipments compared with the same month a year earlier.

The figures show that not only has export growth remained robust, but the pace has also strengthened month-on-month on a year-over-year basis. April’s reading reflected a 48.0% increase versus April a year earlier, while May’s 53.2% advance underscores a further gain in external demand compared with May of the previous year.

This sustained improvement in exports points to continued support for South Korea’s trade-driven economy, with back-to-back months of elevated annual growth suggesting momentum is holding firm into the second quarter of 2026.
