High-precision map data export could cause up to 197 trillion won loss; fair competition must come first
An analysis raised the possibility that exporting high-precision map data overseas could cause up to 197.4 trillion won in cumulative costs from 2026 to 2035, with additional annual royalty outflows not included in that total. It said costs would accelerate after 2029 due to growing industry damage and overseas leakage. Scholars and industry officials said fair competition conditions between foreign and domestic firms, including domestic server installation, should be ensured before allowing any export.
