Last month’s exports amounted to $52.6 billion, up 1% year-on-year. Among the 15 major export items, exports of four items increased – including computers (SSD), wireless communications, automobiles, and bio-health.
Exports of semiconductors decreased by 3% year-on-year to $9.6 billion. They had been increasing year-on-year for 15 consecutive months until January, but turned downward for the first time in 16 months. High value-added products such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DDR5 showed good performance, but the fixed prices of general-purpose memory such as DDR4 and NAND fell sharply.

Computer exports increased 28.5% year-on-year to $800 million, increasing for the 14th consecutive month. Moreover, wireless communications devices increased 42.3% year-on-year to $1.5 billion.
Automobile exports increased 17.8% year-on-year to $6.1 billion, rebounding for the first time in four months. This was due to the exports of hybrid cars increasing by more than 50% year-on-year. Bio-health’s exports were recorded at $1.4 billion, up 16.1% year-on-year.
Petroleum’s products recorded $3.9 billion, down 12.2% year-on-year. This is because the international product prices of gasoline and diesel fell by more than 10% year-on-year.
By region, exports increased in four out of nine major markets, including the United States. Exports to the USA increased 1% year-on-year to $9.9 billion. Exports to China decreased 1.4% over the same period to $9.5 billion. However, exports of wireless communication devices and general machinery showed a favorable trend, partially offsetting the slowdown in semiconductor exports.
Exports to ASEAN increased in both semiconductors and petroleum products, the two largest export items. Exports increased 12.6% year-on-year to $9.6 billion, the second largest amount ever for February.
Korean exporters are seeking to achieve expanded export results, and auto parts manufacturers are striving to elevate their presence in global markets.

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2503M07] Founded in 2002, Jaun Co., Ltd. has been striving to take the market lead with its range of automotive filters based on its excellent technology. Currently, it is serving a wide range of sectors, and expanding its business worldwide – from automotive filters, to auto parts and industrial and home filtration.

Air Filters
Clean intake air is required for optimum performance of internal combustion engines. If airborne contaminants such as soot or dust enter the combustion chamber, wear on the cylinder heads may occur, and this can lead to early wearing of the engine. The functioning of electronic components located between the suction and combustion chamber can also be significantly damaged.
Air filters protect the engine by filtering dust, dirt, and other contaminants that can cause serious damage to your engine over time. Passenger car air filters are designed to effectively filter out dust, pollen, dirt, and other contaminants commonly encountered in urban and highway driving conditions.
Jaun’s panel air filter is widely used in today’s automotive vehicles. It provides high performance to your vehicle with its advanced sealing technology, and easy installation. Jaun’s round air filter is versatile and widely used in light commercial vehicles, heavy duty vehicles and construction equipment.

Oil Filters
Up to 75% of the causes of malfunctions in the moving parts of the engine can be attributed to unwanted particles in the oil. It is thus the oil filter’s job to remove these particles from the oil flow to help prevent early component wear and system failure. Clean oil is essential for efficiency and preventing decreases in the engine’s performance, and increases in fuel consumption. Passenger car filters emphasize compact size, standard filtration efficiency, and affordability.
Jaun’s spin-on oil filter is a complete filtering system, and is a type of filter attached to the vehicle by screwing it in. The filtering material is inside the filter box (cartridge). In Spin-on oil filters, both separation performance and pollution-holding capacity are greatly increased by optimizing the filter media structure.
Jaun’s elements oil filter is used and replaced only as filter elements. Environmentally ecologically defined filters for new-generation vehicles are produced with plastic and cellulosic materials without the use of metal parts.
“We have been growing together with clients, and will become a partner that continuously conducts research and strives to help our clients develop. We are constantly striving to develop new filtration solutions and best product quality,” remarked the company’s CEO.
