Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The growth is partly driven by Korean brands increasing efforts in Europe after the United States applied tariffs to Korean imports. A growing share of South Korea's exports is going to Europe, and shipments to Poland, which serves as an entry point to the EU, more than doubled in 2025.
