Abstract

This paper aims at examining the Korea export competitiveness of robot industry and presenting the strategy to improve capability of robot industry under Korea-US FTA. For the purpose, the current status and environment of Korea-US robot industry and the core points of Korea-US FTA are analyzed. In addition, using SWOT analysis of Korean robot field, we analyzed the characteristics of Korean robot industry and proposed the strategy for export expansion and strength of export competitiveness. Through above analyzation and strategies, we found out that Korea robot industry have some advantage to go into the US market and get the opportunity to improve the export capability though Korea-US FTA. In conclusion, to improve current status and to get the competitiveness, government and companies related with robot industry should recognize and utilize Korea-US FTA effect significantly.

본 논문은 한-미 FTA 체제하에서 한국의 로봇산업 수출 경쟁력을 조사하고, 로봇산업의 역량 강화를 위한 전략을 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 한국과 미국의 로봇 산업의 현재 상황과 환경 그리고 한-미 FTA의 핵심 요인들을 분석한다. 그리고 한국 로봇산업의 SWOT 분석을 통하여 우리나라 로봇산업의 특징을 분석하고, 분석결과를 바탕으로 한-미 FTA 협정 발효에 따른 로봇 산업의 경쟁력 향상 전략을 도출한다. 이러한 분석과 전략을 통하여, 한-미 FTA는 한국의 로봇 산업이 미국 시장으로의 진출하는데 다양한 이점을 가지게 하며, 한국의 수출 역량을 강화할 수 있는 기회를 제공함을 발견하였다. 결론적으로 현재의 상황을 개선하고, 경쟁력을 확보하기 위하여 로봇산업관련 정부부처 및 업체들은 한-미 FTA 효과를 중요하게 인지하고 활용하여야만 한다.
