Key Market Issues

  • The South Korean government places increasing emphasis on technical cooperation and technology transfer, to ensure that the South Korean defense industry is not perceived as a sub-contracted supplier of low-technology parts. South Korea has changed its policies to achieve technology transfer in each of its defense deals to reduce its dependence on imports of advanced defense systems.
  • South Korea has a negative reputation for industrial disputes in terms of wages and dangerous working conditions, and records frequent strikes or violent protests. Although the South Korean government has demonstrated strong commitment to the restructure of the corporate, services and labor sectors, South Korea is perceived as a risk for foreign and domestic investors.

Key Highlights

  • The most important factors for the South Korean Ministry of Defense (MoD) when making purchasing decisions are price, technology transfer, and offsets. The South Korean MoD has adopted a new provision that requires the foreign contractor to provide assurances in advance, that the proposed technologies will be transferred to the country prior to the approval of the offset contract. Traditionally, US defense companies have been very successful in selling defense goods to South Korea; however, future sales could be influenced by European competitors, who are considered more willing to transfer technology and, as a result, are gaining market share.
  • Previously, foreign defense companies have responded positively to the opportunities provided by the South Korean government in the area of collaborative defense research and development, as this strategy automatically ensures part ownership and South Korean government support. For example, Eurocopter was successful in its entry to the South Korean utility helicopter market through a US$1.1 billion RandD agreement with Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) to develop the Surion utility helicopter in June 2006, which represented the largest arms deal that South Korea has ever entered with a non-US company.
  • During the period 2008-2017, Turkey will be the largest importer of South Korean defense goods, accounting for 58.7% of South Korean total defense exports, which was attributed to the signing of the technology transfer deal valued at US$400 million of the Korean K1A1 main battle tank for Turkey's Altay main battle tank project. Other destination countries for South Korean defense goods were Indonesia with a share of 30.2%, Colombia with 8.2%, Peru with 2.2%, Ghana with 0.7%, and the Philippines with 0.1% during this period.
