South Korea‘s film, television and streaming sector contributed KRW24.08 trillion ($16.4 billion at current exchange rates) to the country’s GDP and underpinned 291,100 jobs in 2025, according to an independent economic study commissioned by the Motion Picture Association.

The report – “Economic Contribution of the Audiovisual Industry in South Korea,” produced by Oxford Economics – was presented at the National Assembly in Seoul before legislators and industry leaders. It assesses the sector’s full economic footprint across direct production activity, supply-chain spending and induced consumer expenditure.
