The launch timing of new smartphones are increasingly affecting Korea’s IT exports as those exports rise in the month of new smartphone launches from Samsung Electronics or LG Electronics.
According to ministries and telecom industries, the launch timing of Korean companies’ strategic smartphones and the large volume of IT exports are well matched.
From April when Samsung Electronics began launching Galaxy S4 in 60 countries and LG Electronics began selling Optimus G Pro overseas, Korea’s IT exports rose from $14.12 billion to $15.15 billion for two months but the figure fell to $13.27 billion in June. It stood at $13.75 billion in March.
IT export growth was 10.0 percent year-on-year (yoy) in March, but it rose to 17.5 percent yoy in April
and 17.2 percent yoy in May before it fell to 2.9 percent yoy in June.
