Abstract
In this study, Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Symmetric RCA, Trade Specialization Index (TSI) were used to analyze the service trade competitiveness of Korea, China, and the United States. As a result of the analysis, first, Korea is at a comparative disadvantage as most RCA index values are less than 1 and most SRCA index values are measured as negative numbers (-), Korea was found to be less competitive than the United States and China. Second, looking at Korea's global TSI index, it can be seen that Korea is closer to import specialization than export specialization due to its overall lower competitiveness compared to the United States and China. Accordingly, in order to strengthen Korea's service trade competitiveness, financial support strategies for service export companies and the K-content export base must be strengthened. And there is a need to create an export investment fund to foster global companies and develop policies to strengthen the competitiveness of the tourism sector.There is a need to foster promising items related to software (SW) and information and communication technology (ICT), deregulation and branding are needed to revitalize medical service exports.
