Korea Reports: China's Advanced Manufacturing Technology Leads South Korea
According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on the 24th, a South Korean report analyzed that in advanced manufacturing sectors such as robotics, semiconductors, and electric vehicles, China has rapidly formed competitive advantages, with its technological level leading South Korea. The only area where South Korea maintains an advantage is in the memory chip sector.
The Korea Institute for Industrial Economy released a report titled "Analysis of South Korea-China Advanced Industry Competitiveness and Policy Directions" on the 24th. Based on the results of an expert questionnaire survey conducted in September last year, the institute compared the overall industrial chain competitiveness between South Korea and China, and reached the above conclusions.
According to the report, in the industrial robot sector, South Korea has a slight edge in R&D capabilities, while China holds advantages in purchasing components, mass production, and market development. In the electric vehicle sector, South Korea maintains an advantage in after-sales services and market development, while China has a relatively advanced level in autonomous driving technology. In the semiconductor sector, most experts believe that South Korea still holds an absolute advantage in the memory chip market, but China leads in non-memory chip areas such as AI chip design and chip design platforms.
The report's conclusion implies that South Korea may fall behind China in key chip markets. However, the report also suggests that South Korea can focus on high-quality and highly reliable products to compete in the high-end market and maintain its market advantage.
