Overview In March 2024 South Korea's Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays exports accounted up to $639M and imports accounted up to $1.49B, resulting in a negative trade balance of $847M. Between March 2023 and March 2024 the exports of South Korea's Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays have increased by $24.7M (4.03%) from $614M to $639M, while imports decreased by $-430M (-22.4%) from $1.92B to $1.49B.
Destinations In March 2024, Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays were exported mostly to China ($365M), Chinese Taipei ($60.7M), Singapore ($59.2M), United States ($49.9M), and Japan ($29.6M), and were imported mostly from Netherlands ($406M), Japan ($354M), United States ($302M), Singapore ($164M), and Germany ($106M).
Growth In March 2024, the increase in Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays's year-by-year exports was explained primarily by an increase in exports to Vietnam ($22.8M or 76.8%), Italy ($10.8M or 2.34k%), and Germany ($6.46M or 421%). In March 2024, the decrease in Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays's year-by-year imports was explained primarily by a decrease in imports from Japan ($-84.9M or -23.8%), United States ($-79.7M or -18.6%), and Singapore ($-59.4M or -24.3%).
