During Kim Ki-nam, head of Samsung Electronics’ device solutions division, made the remarks as part of his response to growing uncertainty in the global semiconductor market during the company’s 50th annual shareholders’ meeting held in its Seoul headquarters Wednesday morning.
"This year will be a challenging for Samsung Electronics due to slow sales of smartphones and investment contractions by big data center clients, but there will be a window of opportunity at the same time with steady demand from new growth areas such as 5G, artificial intelligence and car electronics,” he said.
Regarding the company’s semiconductor capex investment, Kim said the management will take a flexible approach to market dynamics, while prepping to ensure no disruption in commercial production from new lines in Pyeongtaek in Korea and Xian in China.
Touching on Samsung’s foundry business, he said will produce chips with circuitry widths of 7 nano meters using the latest manufacturing technology called EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography ahead of rivals.
Meanwhile, vice chairman Jay Y. Lee who has expanded his business activities after avoiding a jail sentence during appellate proceedings early last year was not present in the shareholders’ meeting.
