According to data released by the Korea Customs Service on Thursday, music and video exports came at $170 million from January to November, surging 94.9 percent from the same period a year earlier.
The figure just covers outbound shipments of physical materials such as CDs and DVDs, and digital streaming and downloads are not included.
Music labels exports jumped 78.2 percent on year to $123 million during the first 11 months of the year, from $70 million in 2019 and $40 million in 2017. Shipments of video goods soared 157.4 percent from last year to $48 million.
Japan has been the biggest market for music shipments of Korea since 2017. The country accounted for 48.6 percent of total exports with $60 million, followed by the U.S. $17 million and China $16 million. Shipments to the U.S. outstripped those to China for the first time.
The number of countries importing Korean music products increased from 78 in 2017 to 114 in 2020, and the number for video exports also grew from 12 to 39 over the period.
In 2017, 92.6 percent of the music shipments went to Asia. But this year, non-Asian countries accounted for 24.2 percent. As for video, the North American market took up 84.4 percent, Europe 12.8 percent and Asia 1.5 percent, a great shift from 2017 when Asia had a 57.1 percent share and North America 42.8 percent.
The surge was driven by the ever-growing popularity of K-pop music and related videos when other shipments have been hit hard by the prolonged pandemic, the customs agency said.
