[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Research Alom identified 10 promising industries on the 14th: ▲local currency ▲games ▲webtoons ▲semiconductors ▲waste disposal ▲domestic demand ▲eco-friendly ▲information security ▲pets ▲automobile sectors.
Choi Seonghwan, senior researcher at Research Alom, said, "The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to daily life" and analyzed, "it will not be easy for the accustomed non-face-to-face (untact) lifestyle to return to the way it was before."
He continued, "Due to the spread of COVID-19, the time spent at home has increased, leading to a rise in the number of users utilizing games and webtoons," and predicted, "the number of 'pet owners' raising companion animals will increase due to COVID blues."
He also said, "Consumption, which had been contracted due to COVID-19, will recover," naming Kona I, Joy City, and Mr. Blue as promising stocks.
Researcher Choi analyzed, "Next year, the issuance amount of local currency will increase by 66.7% from this year to 15 trillion won," adding, "Successful delivery service projects in Seo-gu, Incheon City have secured new growth engines." He also emphasized, "It will establish itself as a bona fide platform business company" and "Compared to platform companies like Kakao Pay, Payco, and Toss, its current value is undervalued."
He introduced, "Joy City will benefit when the ban on Korean content is lifted," and "The webtoon business will also newly start."
Furthermore, he analyzed, "The domestic webtoon market size is expected to exceed 1 trillion won," and "The number of subscribers on the Mr. Blue platform will reach 5.9 million."
