CES 2015 reaffirms Korea as an electronics powerhouse with challenges to fundamentally improve the nation’s electronics industry

The recently ended CES 2015 was a place by which Korean people could reassert its status as a one of the global leading nations in the electronics industry. At the same time, concerns were raised among participants over too much investment in TVs and home appliances compared with other areas of electric items.

Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics displayed SUHD TVs and OLED TVs, each, and succeeded in making a big promotion at a similar level to what they intended. The two companies have also competitively unveiled futureoriented home appliances including next-generation washing machines capable of supporting high competitive washing functions. In particular, they emphasized “openness” in line with the era of Internet of Things (IoT). This means such an approach could help Korea take the market initiative of IoT in the near future in the global market.

CES-2015_! However, warning voices among industry experts are being raised over excessive underestimation of overseas competitive rivals including companies of Japan and China. A series of related products including 4K(3840 x 2160)cameras, switchers, from Sony, switchers, displayed at the CES 2015, were in the middle of such atmosphere – industry experts openly say Japanese companies still partly affect the quality of Korean-made TVs. Also, Sony’s integrated 4K chipset technology and Panasonic’s aerial entertainment system, unveiled at the exhibition, raised awareness of the importance of the secure of the basic technologies among participants at the fair.

The growing competition from Chinese home appliance makers emerged as an urgent challenge that needs to be addressed in the near future. In fact, Some Chinese companies including Hisense, Changhong, massively presented their cutting-edge technologies in the area of smart home including smart switch, electric bulb by utilizing their prior experiences of chasing after Korean companies in the field of TVs. Chinese-made products are being considered home appliances enhanced in terms of design and performance. This means, regarding the so-called, “Chinese Shock,” by last year, TVs were at center stage, but from this year, home appliances are emerging as a frontrunner by replacing the existing role of TVs.

The world’s 1st IoT complexes led by Korean government to be materialized

February 23, 2015 by Leave a Comment

According to a recent announcement by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), two complexes of Internet of Things (IoT) will be constructed in Korea for the first time in the world. The so-called ‘Smart Service’ is expected to be realized in some cities of Korea from the second half of this year.

The-world’s-1st-IoT-complexes In these complexes, business processes can be connected to the Internet, beyond connections between equipment and person and between equipment and equipment.

The candidate locations discussed for the plan are now in four cities – Bukchon (traditional culture) in Seoul; Centum City in Haeundae, Busan; Songdo in Incheon; and Healthcare Complex in Daegu. Korean government will select two among the four candidate places by March, introducing service in the second half through preparations including platform construction. The government has already arranged budget worth 12.5 billion won ($11.5 million) for the realization of the complexes.

The-world’s-1st-IoT-complexes_1 A spokesperson of the ministry noted, “The purpose of the IoT complexes, which have been pursued this time, is to identify profitable services by integrating public information with technologies from the private sector,” adding, “We are considering to offer developer tools, which are easy to develop, for private companies to lead in the global market.” Korean government selected home appliances, home, vehicles, education, distribution, industrial safety and energy as fields for new industrialization of IoT.

Korea’s trade surplus reaches $100bn in the components and materials industry

February 23, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Korea achieved a trade surplus in the components and materials industry topping the $100 billion mark for the first time in its history. This means the components and materials industry grew in qualitative and quantitative terms, serving as a cornerstone for the manufacturing industry, despite the fact that the rise in exports of components and materials is partly attributable to the relocation of the local manufacturing bases to overseas.

Korea’s-trade-surplus The Ministry of Trade Industry & Energy recently reported that exports of the sector posted $276 billion while imports reached $168.1 billion, putting the sector’s trade surplus at $107.9 billion to exceed $100 billion for the first time.

The nation’s components and materials industry accomplished $100 billion worth of trade surplus in 17 years since 1997 when the trade in the industry turned to surplus for the first time. Trade surplus in components and materials amounts to 2.3 times higher than the nation’s total trade account of $47.4 billion last year.

Korea’s-trade-surplus_1 Last year, exports of components increased 5.9 percent from a year ago to $188 billion backed by the recovery of demand industry in major advanced nations. Exports of materials reached $88.1 billion, up 3.0 percent from 2013, as the demand for non-metallic minerals and primary metal products picked up.

Such impressive growth of the industry represents basics to the domestic industry has been improved. And it is also a noticeable fact that the local companies’ relocation of their production facility to China and Southeast Asia is another important factor leading the industry’s growth.
