South Korea sets the target of 35% global touch panel market share in 2020

Beijing time on January 03 news, China's touch screen network news, South Korea entered the 2020 target of the world's two major supply areas of touch panels, under the leadership of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE), South Korea plans to global The market share of touch panels has increased from 10% in 2012 to 25% in 2015 and 35% in 2020. To this end, MKE will achieve its goals through three major guidelines.

First, South Korea plans to increase its touch panel main component/material self-management rate from only 2% in 2012 to 15% in 2015 and 30% in 2020, in order to achieve the goal of promoting reinforced plastic for reinforced glass replacement. Polyethylene (Polyethylene Terephthalate; PET) film, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) transparent conductive film instead of conductive materials, graphene, and tactile feedback touch IC and other five components / materials research and development program, The total R&D expenditure for the four touch-related devices, such as lamination/detection, will be 108 billion won ($100 million).

In addition to touch panel components/materials and equipment, South Korea will invest 92 billion won in 2020 to promote 7-generation technology development projects such as multi-touch for more than 60 inches and flexible touch for electronic paper. In total, South Korea will invest 200 billion won (nearly 200 million US dollars) by 2020 to enhance its mastery of touch panels and new technologies.

Secondly, in order to construct a more favorable development of the touch panel industry, South Korea plans to strengthen the cooperation between the touch panel factory and the downstream demand enterprises, and injects 24 billion won in 2011~2015 to establish a large and medium-sized touch panel certification center. Cultivate talent and enhance the competitiveness of patents and standards.

In view of the fact that the South Korean touch panel factory is far less than the Taiwanese factory, the South Korean government will assist its touch panel SMEs to adopt new technologies for mass production, or to tap new applications, with tariff-free equipment tariffs and financing. Helping to enter the mainland market and other ways to strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs related to touch panels.

According to DIGITIMES Research, South Korea's touch panel industry currently has low component/material self-manufacturing rate, insufficient capacitive technology capability, touch panel production capacity lags behind Taiwan and the mainland, and lacks the test/verification basis of touch products, but The three major guidelines can improve the disadvantages and promote the adoption of local companies such as Samsung Electronics, a mobile device manufacturer, which will help South Korea to increase its global touch panel market share.
