Exports of domestic diagnostic kits broke the record last year. However, export performance in the second half of the year is on the decline. Analysts say that as the global COVID-19 situation calms down, exports of diagnostic kits, which have been on a high march, are returning to the level of previous years. According to the Korea Customs Service on the 16th, exports of diagnostic kits in Korea amounted to USD 3.34908 billion last year. It increased 63.6% from $2.047.32 billion in 2021. This is the highest performance ever. Domestic diagnostic kits have grown rapidly with the spread of COVID-19. Exports of diagnostic kits, which stood at only $253.26 million until 2019, rose vertically to $2.170.87 billion in 2020.
