emarketforecasts - South Korea
Abstract
Expressed in US dollars production of electronic goods fell by 1.3% in 2006 and followed growth of 4.6% in 2005 and 27.5% in 2004. In 2006, growth in the semiconductor sector was offset by lower production in computing, communications and consumer electronics on the back of lower exports. Imports, in particular for digital consumer products, increased in 2006 and in the longer term they are expected to rise further as the South Korean market is increasingly served from offshore plants.
The manufacture of semiconductors is a major industry in South Korea and in 2006 semiconductors accounted for 37% of total output. Production increased by 6% in 2006 and by a forecasted 5.1% in 2007. In 2008 output is expected to fall by 4.2% in response to the global slowdown in the global semiconductor market. Computer products and communications equipment had been growing in importance however production of computer products fell by 10% in 2006 and accounted for 18% of the total. Domestic output of communications and radar declined by 3.3% in 2006 and further modest declines are expected in 2007 and 2008, in part, as manufactures look to increase production offshore.
