The Empirical Study on Export Competitiveness of Korean Marine Equipment Industry against China and Japan

Purpose- The purpose of this study was to analyze the export competitiveness of the Korean marine equipment industry against China and Japan. Design/methodology/approach- The analysis used the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), which indicates the degree of comparative advantage, and the Trade Specialization Index(TSI), which indicates the specialization of import or export. The items of marine equipment for analysis were defined according to the MTI classification system, and data corresponding HS codes were collected through the International Trade Centre. The analysis subjects are the main five items of anchor, compression ignition engine and parts, propeller blades and measuring instruments. Findings- The result of RSCA showed that Japan has strongest export competitiveness than others, and then Korea has stronger than China. The result of MSCA, Korea has a comparative advantage in two items, such as compression ignition engine and measuring instruments, against China, and has a comparative advantage in ignition engine parts against Japan. Research implications or Originality- Through research, In order to enhance Korea’s export competitiveness, it is necessary to has a product differentiation strategy against China’s technological strengthening policy. And also need technology development and manpower support policies for high value added engineering fields.
