Without memory chips, Korea's semiconductor edge over China erodes, KIET warns
What happened
A KIET report warns South Korea's semiconductor leadership is eroding relative to China, shifting to a state of 'co-opetition'. This is attributed to China's rapid catch-up in memory and non-memory segments, despite Korea's strength in high-end memory like HBM. Watch: No immediate price impact, but signals a long-term competitive shift that could alter supply chain dynamics and pricing power.
