Animation is a high value-added industry that will be able to expand with related industry. Domestic animation industry is in a time of transition period from OEM production methods to creative work production methods. Our country has not formed the stable animation market like America or Japan as yet, and domestic animation failed in a hit following one after another. The investment in animation industry is atrophied and the capital influx does not become accomplished well.
Government cannot revitalize the domestic animation industry because of poor market structure, even though government expresses that the animation industry would be in the national competitive power field and propels an animation support policy.
The strategies that can help the domestic companies to advance to an overseas market actively is necessary to pass over the limit of small domestic market. Government must make such an environment that the companies can produce actively the animation which is suitable in the global market.
I selected 5 animations-<Pororo>, <ODD Family>, <Cubix>, <Dooly> and <Pucca>-as successful cases in the overseas advance in spite of stagnant domestic market, and investigated their strategies. In addition, I researched the support policy of government that takes charge of important role in animation market.
Through this research I tried to find ways to create a high value-added industry that can overcome the actuality of the stagnant domestic market and revitalize the overseas advance of the domestic animation industry.
First of all we must construct technical and human infrastructure and create an environment in which animation companies can produce the animation works that keeps an international competitive power.
We must construct the systematic circulation network targeting a global market and strengthen a consulting support system to cultivate a market so that domestic productions make inroads into the international market easily. And animation companies must participate in the foreign animation festivals and contents markets actively to inform domestic animations to foreign counties.
It is necessary that government make sufficient and accurate research about global market, expand the database which could be used as the fundamental data, strengthen exportation support infrastructure and support the companies to make a maximum effect of an international co-production.
