Best MarketingTech Companies in South Korea
The 138 best MarketingTech companies in South Korea in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: bemyfriends.
South Korea's MarketingTech sector has 138 companies tracked here, ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum, with $129M in total capital on the books and zero unicorns yet. That last point matters. The global MarketingTech market sat at $329B in 2022 and is forecast to reach $1,700B by 2032, a 20.7% CAGR according to Allied Market Research, so the gap between that trajectory and Korea's current funding pool tells you exactly where the opportunity is building. Bemyfriends leads the local pack at $29M raised, with Featuring and Storelink each at $15M. SparkLabs and Stonebridge Capital are the names showing up most consistently on cap tables. Data privacy compliance is the structural constraint everyone's working around right now.
So what's driving the next wave? Influencer relationship management and affiliate programs are the hottest themes this quarter, and B2B signal work on LinkedIn points to how tightly personalization and automation are converging as demand drivers. I'd watch how companies like Datarize AI, at $11M raised, position against that shift. The sector's coverage is rising fast, the funding is still early-stage concentrated, and the distance between where Korea is and where global spend is headed makes this one of the more compelling regional directories to track right now.
