*After 2021, there has been a significant increase in the number of respondents in surveys compared to the previous year. This change is attributed to a new sampling frame. Consequently, the number of respondents rose significantly, making it impossible to directly compare these results with those from the previous year.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are for-profit businesses whose total assets do not exceed 500 billion South Korean won and which meet the criterion of independence (not a subsidiary of a large enterprise). Depending on the type of business, companies with average three-year sales of 40 billion South Korean won or less to 150 billion South Korean won or less are defined as SMEs.
1,000 South Korean won equals 0.76 U.S. dollars or 0.68 euros as of October 2024.
Figures have been rounded.
Total company counts per year are as follows: 2020: 397,427 2021: 535,726
