韩国芯片出口，创下历史新高

Core Viewpoint - The Indian information and communication technology (ICT) export reached over $115.1 billion in the first half of the year, marking the second-highest level in history, driven by the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and record semiconductor exports [1]. Group 1: Export Performance - The ICT export from South Korea in the first half of the year amounted to $115.16 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.8% [1]. - In June, the export value was $22.03 billion, showing a growth of 4.7% compared to the previous year [1]. - The semiconductor export reached $73.31 billion in the first half, with an increase of 11.4%, setting a new record for the first half of the year [1]. Group 2: Product-Specific Trends - The export of computers and peripheral devices grew by 10.8%, reaching $6.64 billion, driven by the expansion of AI servers and the demand for solid-state drives (SSD) in data centers [2]. - Conversely, the display and mobile phone sectors experienced declines, with display exports falling to $1.29 billion, a decrease of 33.7% [3]. - Mobile phone exports also decreased to $0.79 billion, down 6.2% year-on-year, influenced by reduced exports of semiconductors and sensor modules [3]. Group 3: Regional Export Dynamics - Exports to the United States, Taiwan, and Japan increased, while exports to China (including Hong Kong) and the European Union decreased [4]. - Exports to the U.S. reached $14.42 billion, up 14.5%, with a continuous growth streak for 20 months [4]. - Exports to Taiwan and Japan grew to $3.61 billion and $0.4 billion, with increases of 54.6% and 20.6%, respectively [4]. - Exports to China amounted to $7.89 billion, down 9.4%, despite a 16.9% increase in computer and peripheral device exports [4]. - Exports to the EU and India were $0.93 billion and $0.42 billion, reflecting declines of 5.3% and 6.3% respectively [5].
