Unhindered growth track
We expect LG Chem and Cheil Industries, Korea’s largest electronic material companies, to continue outperforming the market backed by several growth drivers. Electronic materials demand is rising steadily with growing demand in upstream LCD/semiconductor industries, further backed by government policy. Meanwhile the market pie is expanding as Japanese competitors shift their focus to rechargeable battery and solar cell materials. Keep an eye out for widening short-term demand and increased visibility in long-term growth potential for our two picks. We raise our 12-month target prices for LG Chem to W330,000 and for Cheil Industries to W87,000.

High upstream demand driving growth in related materials
An advent of new applications like iPad has been driving memory demand while LCD TV globally is set to post a 12.4% CAGR through 2013 buoyed by strong growth in Asia and emerging markets. Demand growth in the above industries will stimulate demand growth for electronic materials such as polarizer film and glass substrate, going forward.

Korea’s growing dominance in memory/LCD to benefit exclusive materials suppliers
Korean companies’ growing competitiveness in global memory, LCD panel and TV markets should greatly benefit their exclusive or vertically integrated materials suppliers. We see Cheil’s polarizer film business rising to W2tn on increased supply to Samsung Electronics and Taiwanese panel makers, while LG Chem’s glass substrate unit should reach W3tn (equal to its captive market) on increased annual parts purchasing by LG Display.

Government policy backing – WPM could be a key catalyst
The Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced an investment of W1tn in world premier materials (WPM) by 2018 and W200bn in 20 key parts materials. In chemicals, watch membrane materials, plastic substrate (for flexible display), rechargeable battery materials, longer term; and the photoresist market (for semiconductors), near to mid term.

Re-rating of electronic material majors to continue
We stay long-term overweight on LG Chem and Cheil Industries and expect their valuation premiums to sustain in the foreseeable future backed by 1) the persistent demand upswing in related upstream industries and 2) the immense growth potential of the rechargeable battery and glass substrate industries which are still in their initial stages.
