Strengthening Of KOSDAQ Identity By Active IPOs Of Hi-Tech Companies

The Korea Exchange (KRX) announced that IPOs of new companies equipped with high value-added advanced technology have increased. Before 2013, most of the newly-listed companies were from Korea’s representative parts and machinery industries such as semiconductor, display, motors and mobile phone, etc. Since 2013 onwards, however, the main businesses of newly-listed companies have been associated with S/W (security solution, online service, mobile game, etc), healthcare (pharmaceuticals, medical machines, etc) and bio industries more than before. An increase in the IPOs of high value-added industries helped strengthen the identity of the KOSDAQ market. ※ For more details, please refer to the attached file.
