South Korea’s automobile exports saw a significant rise in February 2025, reaching a record high for the month. According to official data released on Tuesday, car exports surged by 17.8% compared to the same month last year. This growth was mainly driven by strong global demand for hybrid vehicles.
The increase highlights the rising popularity of eco-friendly cars, as more countries promote sustainable and fuel-efficient transportation. South Korean automakers have been expanding their hybrid vehicle production to meet this growing demand in international markets.
Industry experts believe that the global shift toward green energy and lower emissions has played a key role in boosting hybrid car sales. The continued growth in exports reflects South Korea’s strong position in the global automobile market, particularly in the hybrid and electric vehicle segments.
With the demand for hybrid cars expected to rise further, South Korea’s auto industry is likely to see continued expansion in the coming months.
