This is the 2024 Design Industry Statistics (as of 2023) provided by the Korea Institute of Design Promotion. This data represents the results of a survey conducted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy across the country, targeting general businesses, design-utilizing companies, design-specialized companies, central government agencies, and local governments. The survey was conducted to understand the current state of the design industry and inform policymaking. It serves as objective and reliable baseline data for design policy and strategy development across the government, industry, and academia, and is also useful for design research, business planning, and market analysis. It provides a comprehensive report (PDF) and detailed statistical tables covering the current state of design utilization, the extent of AI technology use in design work, the status of design development considering environmental factors, design investment and sales statistics, the size of the design workforce and the number of freelancers, and the overall market size and growth rate of the domestic design industry.
