[KMTI ⑮] Korea's Machine Tool Imports Forcast

Imports Sees Double Digit Growth in 2014

Korea's machine tool imports in 2014 are expected to grow 12.3% year-on-year to US$1.6 billion, realizing the first conversion to growth in three years.

The double-digit growth is attributable to growth in domestic facility investment, continuation of weakened yen currency, expanded development of low-priced machine tools by manufacturers in advanced countries, and expansion of FTA import items. In contrast, continuation of low growth in the domestic economy, expanded competition with domestic machine tool manufacturers, etc. are likely to serve as factors that limit imports.

[KIMT ⑭] Korea's Machine Tool Export Forecast

Exports Expected to Reach US$2.5 Bil in 2014

In 2014, Korea's machine tool exports are expected to grow 13.1% year-on-year to US$2.5 billion. The double-digit growth projection has the potential to be realized owing to a 3%-level growth of the global economy, continuation of economic recoveries in the Unites States and eurozone and recovery of exports to BRICs, which were more or less sluggish in 2013. Strengthened exploration of overseas markets and utilization of already-concluded FTAs by domestic enterprises and the possibility of concluding a Korea-China FTA also are likely to serve as positive export growth factors.

In addition, favorable conditions for increased demand also include expanded overseas production by domestic carmakers, such as production at the third plant in China, full-fledged local production in Brazil and plant facility expansion in Turkey by Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors.

Amid this environment, the domestic machine tool industry is expected to stage active overseas marketing activities in 2014 with a focus on leading overseas machine tool exhibitions in India, China, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Japan, etc.

On the other hand, a slower recovery of the global economy, possibility of the U.S. tapering of quantitative easing, unrest in financial markets in emerging countries and uncertain economic vitality in developing countries as well as a continuation of China's investment adjustment have the potential to be stumbling blocks.

In the midst of a mid-7% level of low growth projected due to China's restructuring going into full swing, the possibility of a financial crisis in some South and Southeast Asian countries, including India and Indonesia, may be the largest variable.

In 2014, Korea's machine tool exports may near the record-high results of 2012 (US$2.55 billion) but it will be hard to set a new record. Meanwhile, fierce competition is expected in the global machine tool market in 2014 due to continuation of Korean won currency appreciation and Japanese yen depreciation, expanded overseas production of low-priced machine tools and strategic alliances between the world's machine tool manufacturers.

[KMTI ⑪] Korean Shipbuilding Industry in 2013

Status of Korean Shipbuilding Industry in 2013

Orders

As the global shipbuilding order volume increased 92.5% year-on-year in 2013, domestic shipyards (based on the nine member companies of Korea Offshore & Shipbuilding Association) won 13.69 million CGT of newbuilding orders in the year, up 90.9% from 2012.

In terms of ship type, orders for bulk carriers, containerships, tankers, etc. increased in the major commercial ship sector while orders in the offshore sector were sluggish compared with the previous year. Of particular note, orders were steady for medium-range (MR) tankers due to enhanced fuel mileage, lower ship price and more favorable charterage than other ship types. Meanwhile, drillship orders, most of which were won by large Korean shipyards, decreased year-on-year.

New Shipbuilding

In 2013, the shipbuilding volume of Korean shipyards recorded 12.50 million CGT, down 8.1% from 2012. In the midst of a year-on-year decrease of 21.8% in the global shipbuilding volume, Korean shipyards also experienced a reduction due to declines in work in progress, delay in ship delivery schedules, etc.

By ship type, containerships still accounted for the largest ratio of 40.1%, followed by tankers at 21.2% and bulk carriers at 7.5%. In the case of high value-added containerships, meanwhile, Korean shipyards built nine ships in 2013 compared with one ship in 2012.

Exports

In 2013, Korea's ship exports decreased 6.6% year-on-year to US$37.1 billion, which fell short of the US$40.5 billion projected at the beginning of the year due to a decline in shipbuilding volume and delay in deliveries.

The ratio of the shipbuilding industry in the nation's total exports was less than 10% for the second consecutive year due to declines in export unit prices. However, the industry is still playing a locomotive role in the development of the national economy as one of the largest export sectors. 

[KMTI ➉] The Korean Semiconductor Industry Ranked No. 2 in Global Market Share

Korean Rises to No. 2 in Global Semicon Market Share

The Korean semiconductor industry has risen to rank as the world's second in terms of global market share, outpacing Japanese products for the first time.

Quoting data reported by the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association (KSIA) and market survey agency iSuppli, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy revealed on January 20 that Korea is estimated to have taken over second place in global market share in 2013, pushing aside Japan for the first time in history.

Director Kim Jeong-Il of the Electronic Parts & Materials Division said, "Korea outpaced Japan, a wall that had been too high, after about 30 years of full-fledged development of semiconductors."

According to the ministry, Korea's semiconductor production in 2013 amounted to about US$50.07 billion, achieving a 15.8% global market share, exceeding Japan's US$44.27 billion and 13.9%. Korea lagged behind Japan in 2012 with 14.7% vs. 17.5% market share and also in 2011 with 13.4% vs. 18.5%.

In 2013, the United States maintained the No. 1 position with production of US$166.45 billion and 52.45 market share, posting continuously growing since crossing the 50% market share mark in 2011. Following the United States, Korea and Japan, Europe ranked fourth with 8.7% and Taiwan fifth with 5.0%.

[KMTI ➈] Forecast of Steel Industry

Steel Industry Forecast to Grow
After 4 Years of Stagnation

According to the World Steel Association (WSA), global steel demand in 2014 is expected to reach 1.52 billion tons, up 3.3% from 1.47 billion tons in 2013 and up 6.3% from 1.43 billion tons in 2012.

An executive in charge of business operations at a Korean steel company said, 'Despite a slowdown in the growth of steel demand in the Chinese market, demand will increase significantly this year in other regions like the Middle East and Latin America."

It is also a positive factor that the Chinese steel industry is apparently just 'catching its breath,' as a hot wind of restructuring is blowing through the Chinese steel industry, which has brought an excess of supply to the global steel market with a low-price offensive. To resolve

the supply excess, the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently announced that it will accelerate M&As among steel companies.

The Japanese market situation is not in bad shape either for the domestic steel industry. At present, Japan's representative blast-furnace mills are appraised as lacking sufficient capacity for exports. To address this shortcoming, they plan to modify or repair furnaces one after the other. Nippon Steel Sumitomo Metals, POSCO's strongest competitor, is scheduled to repair Furnace #4 at its Yawata Steel Works from end January to end April this year. Another competitor, JFE Steel, also plans to repair its thick plate and rolling mills in Kurashiki, western Japan, until March this year.

[KMTI ➇] Korea's General '14 Machinery Exports

Korea's General '14 Machinery Exports 
Seen to Cross the US$50 Bil. Level

Korea's exports of general machinery in 2013 were estimated at US$47.6 billion, generating a trade surplus of US$13.2 billion for the sector, according to the Korea Association of Machinery Industry (KOAMI).

The association put forward the optimistic projection that exports of general machinery would increase 8.7% year-on-year and post US$51.6 billion in 2014.

First of all, facility investment is expected to expand, led by largescale plants, with the flow of the domestic economic conditions improving. The projection that overseas demand for machinery may rise to a certain extent also is a favorable factor. Of particular note, the move of manufacturers in the U.S., and other advanced countries toward 'Reshoring' - relocating their overseas production facilities back to their own countries - is expected to drive export growth.

It is noteworthy that, recently, newly emerging countries, including China and ASEAN countries, are increasing imports of machinery. However, the fact that the price competitiveness of Korean machinery is declining compared with Japanese products due to the weaker Japanese yen continuing since 2013 and a persisting slowdown of the Middle East economy may serve as negative factors for Korea's exports.

[KMTI ➃] Korean Machine Tool Exports in 2013

Korean Machine Tool Exports Plunge 13.4% in 2013

Korean machine tool exports in 2013 fell 13.4% year-on-year to US$2.21 billion. This is attributed to comparatively large declines in the Asian market, including China and India, as well as in the Latin American market, including Brazil, due to the growth slowdown of the global economy.

Exports to the United States in 2013 were sound compared with other regions, with the monthly export total exceeding US$200 million continuously through the second quarter, but weakened after entering the third quarter.

In the case of exports to Europe, uncertainties continued due to the European economic crisis. In the second half, however, exports to parts of the region, Germany, Italy, Russia, etc., grew, showing improvement.

In terms of exports by item, exports of both NC lathes and machining centers in 2013 decreased year-on-year, but exports of presses grew with automobile-related exports expanding to China, India, etc. Meanwhile, exports of boring machines, grinding machines, milling machines and general purpose lathes all recorded double-digit declines compared with 2012.

[KMTI ➂] Korean machine tool production in 2013

Korean Machine Tool Production Hits US$5.81 Tril.

Korean machine tool production in 2013 is estimated to have declined 9.6% year-on-year, recording 5.81 trillion won, due to the continuation of uncertainties in internal and external economic environments. Affected by a slowdown in domestic facility investment and export decline to major overseas markets, Korean machine tool production suffered a reduction for the first time in four years since the 2009 U.S. financial crisis triggered by the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Based on KOMMA member company data, machine tool production from January to October 2013 decreased 12.8% year-on-year to about 2.62 trillion won and shipments also decreased 12.8% year-on-year.

In particular, production of three key items - NC lathes (-6.9%), machining centers (-6.6%) and presses (-15.9%) - in the first 10 months of 2013 posted a year-on-year decline of 8.0%.

[KMTI ➁] Korean Receipt of Machine Tool Orders in 2013

Korean Receipt of Machine Tool Orders Sluggish in 2013

The economic recovery is anticipated to continue, with domestic demand including consumption and investment improving and the export momentum being maintained.
Looking at the sectoral contributions to growth on the expenditure side, those of domestic demand (1.8%p) and of exports (2.0%p) will be generally similar.

Korean producers' receipt of machine tool orders (based on KOMMA member companies) from January through October 2013 amounted to about 3.16 trillion won, up 5.0% from 2012. If project-type orders are excluded, however, orders recorded a year-on-year decrease of 2.1%.

Declines in demand of equipment for development of new domestic cars and for facility investment by manufacturing businesses had significant impacts on domestic demand, while a portion of the project-type orders affected export demand.

In terms of demander business type, the ratios of automobile & parts and general machinery industries ranked No. 1 and No. 2 at 33.3% and 18.1%, respectively.

Nevertheless, demand from automotive businesses posted a slowdown for the second consecutive year since 2011, experiencing a year-on-year decline of 5.9% while its ratio also decreased 2.8 percentage points. In contrast, electrical, electronic and IT business demand expanded 51.7% year-on-year, posting a similar level as in 2011.

[KMTI ➀] Korean Economic Forecast 2014

Korean Economy is Expected to Grow 3.8% in 2014

The Korean economy is expected to post a year-on-year rate of growth of 3.8% in 2014 compared with 2.8% growth in 2013, the Bank of Korea(BoK) announced on Jan9.

The economic recovery is anticipated to continue, with domestic demand including consumption and investment improving and the export momentum being maintained.
Looking at the sectoral contributions to growth on the expenditure side, those of domestic demand (1.8%p) and of exports (2.0%p) will be generally similar.
The rate of growth of gross domestic income (GDI) (4.8%) will exceed that of GDP (3.8%) in 2014, as in 2013, due to improvements in the terms of trade as a result of unit import price stability owing for example to the decline in international oil prices.
The 2013 and 2014 GDP growth forecasts (2.8%, 3.8%) remain unchanged from those drawn up in October 2013, as positive factors such as updates reflecting the actual performance figures and the downward adjustments of international commodity prices, and negative factors including the weakening of the yen offset each other.
The ratio of the current account surplus to GDP is projected to fall from 5.7~5.8 percent in 2013 to4.1~4.2 percent in 2014, and then to 3.1~3.2 percent in 2015.
The current account surplus is forecast to stand at 55.0 billion dollars in 2014, larger than the October 2013 forecast.
In terms of the future growth path, the risks are assessed as neutral, as downside risks including global financial market unrest following QE tapering, the possibility of heightened volatility of the yen, and North-Korea related geopolitical risks, and upside risks such as growth trend accelerations in the US and EU are seen as likely to balance each other out.
As for the price path, there are both upside risks, such as a jump in agricultural product prices caused by bad weather conditions, and downside risks including declines in international commodity prices due to a slowing of the global economic recovery, but taken as a whole the risks are appraised as neutral.
