AB - This study aims to examine the status of private investigation services within Korea’s Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC) system and to suggest appropriate improvements. By analyzing related literature and classification cases from both Korea and major countries, the study explores how the private investigation industry is currently categorized and the implications of such classification. In Korea, private investigation services are classified under “Other Professional Services,” which limits their recognition as an independent industry and restricts the foundation for policy support and data management. In contrast, countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union assign these services to distinct categories, enabling clearer institutional support and industry development. These global cases provide important insights into how classification can influence industrial recognition and policy design. Based on these findings, the study proposes the creation of a separate industrial code and revisions to the existing classification system. These recommendations aim to support the institutionalization and systematic development of the private investigation industry in Korea.
