South Korea was one of the top five nations in terms of its superior products in 2013, according to a survey released by Japan’s leading business daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun on Monday.
The survey of the world’s top products based on their market shares showed South Korea, home to the world’s leading electronics giants Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, shared fourth place with China by topping the six product categories, down from eight in 2012.
Samsung Electronics manufactured the products selected as No. 1 in the categories of smartphones, flat-panel TVs, NAND flash memory and DRAM, while Samsung SDI’s lithium-ion batteries ranked No. 1 in its category. LG Display was selected for liquid crystal display panels.
The United States came first with 18 products and services, down from 19 in 2012, followed by Japan with 11 and the EU with 8.
Across the 50 categories surveyed, five, including the PC and server sectors, saw changes in leadership.
Chinese PC maker Lenovo, the only global PC maker that increased the volume of its shipments last year, became the world’s largest PC manufacturer, outpacing Hewlett Packard. Meanwhile, Sony topped the game console category with its Playstation 4.
