Coupang has surpassed major corporations to rank fourth in job creation in Korea. Its workforce has exceeded 100,000 employees.

According to the "Analysis of Employment Changes in 102 Major Business Groups for 2024–2025" released on the 22nd by the Korea CXO Research Institute, a corporate analysis specialist, Coupang Fulfillment Service created the most jobs compared to 2024. Coupang Fulfillment Service employed 83,676 people last year, an increase of 5,517 jobs compared to 2024 (78,159 people).

Among the top five companies with the largest increase in employment, Coupang Fulfillment Service ranked first, while Coupang Corporation (1,211 people) and Coupang Logistics Service (1,161 people) also secured fourth and fifth places, respectively.

On a group basis, Coupang's total employment increased by 8,259 in one year, surpassing 108,131. This places it fourth in employment scale, following Samsung (283,830), Hyundai Motor (201,540), and LG (144,089).

The construction of logistics centers is cited as the background for the increase in jobs related to Coupang. From 2024 to 2026, Coupang is investing 3 trillion won to build nine or more logistics centers in Busan, Gwangju, Ulsan, Jecheon, and other locations. Accordingly, it is planning to hire over 10,000 new workers, primarily young people. More than 80% of the new jobs are concentrated in non-Seoul areas.

An industry official explained, "In a reality where the polarization between the metropolitan area and local regions is becoming increasingly severe, Coupang's job creation is providing significant help to revitalize the regional economy."
