02 Space activities amount
03 Status of import and export in space sector
Total exports decreased by 503.7 billion won (28.3%p) compared to the previous year, and the decrease in exports is mainly due to the decrease in satellite reception set-top box-related exports in the satellite broadcasting and communication sector.
Total imports were found to have decreased by 206.1 billion won (35.0%p) compared to the previous year, and the decrease in imports was mainly due to the decrease in imports of companies in the satellite broadcasting and communications sector.
Trade balance continues to post surplus since 2013, but declines year-on-year in 2019
