韩国：我们的芯片全球第二

据韩国媒体1月21日报道，2013年，韩国芯片业凭借三星电子、SK海力士等芯片企业的活跃，首次超越日本位居全球芯片市场第二位。

韩国产业通商资源部20日表示，去年韩国芯片销售额首次超过日本，全球市场占有率继美国之后排在第二位。这是已故三星总裁李秉喆于1983年2月正式宣布进军存储芯片产业以来，时隔31年创造的壮举。

据芯片市场调研机构iSuppli估测，去年全球芯片销售总额(含存储、系统芯片)为3179亿美元。

其中，韩国的销售额为501亿美元，占有率15.8%，首次超越日本(443亿美元，占有率13.9%)。韩国产业部电子零部件科长金正一(音译)表示：“日本一直是韩国难以逾越的高墙，这次首次超过日本其意义重大。”

韩国产业研究院(KIET)博士周大荣(音译)说：“若不想重蹈快速陨落的日本覆辙，不应局限于存储芯片业，而应该向医疗、汽车芯片以及系统芯片等多领域拓展，积极求变。”
