Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the technological competitiveness of the environmental industry with developed countries in order to establish an international market expansion strategy of the Korean environmental industry and technology. In order to evaluate the competitiveness of the environmental industry and technology, core technologies were classified by the environmental industry sectors based on the classification system of the domestic and international environmental industry and technology. After developing the evaluation index data, the Delphi analysis, journal and patent analysis, as well as the export and import analysis were carried out and the standardization analysis was performed on the index data. Moreover, the weights of each evaluation index were calculated using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method and the evaluation results of competitiveness of the environmental industry and technology in Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France were derived. As a result of the evaluation, the United States was rated with the highest technological competitiveness in all the environmental industry sectors, while Korea got the lowest technological competitiveness rating compared to the 4 developed countries. In particular, Korea got the lowest level of technological competitiveness in the sector of multi-media environmental management and development for a sustainable social system. Therefore, in order for the Korean environmental industry and technology to enter the global advanced market, it is necessary to strengthen the competitiveness through the development of the fourth environmental industry based on IoT(Internet of Things), cloud, big data, mobile, and AI(Artificial Intelligence), which are currently the country's domestic strengths.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 환경산업 해외시장 진출 전략 수립을 위하여 선진국과의 환경산업 기술경쟁력을 평가하고자 하였다. 환경산업 기술경쟁력을 평가하기 위하여 국내·외 환경산업기술 분류체계를 바탕으로 환경산업 분야별 중점 기술을 분류하고, 기술경쟁력 평가지표를 구축하였다. 평가지표 자료 구축을 수행한 후 델파이 분석 및 논문·특허 분석, 수출·입 분석을 수행하였으며, 지표값에 대한 표준화 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 기법을 통해 평가지표별 가중치를 산정하여 한국, 미국, 영국, 독일, 프랑스의 환경산업기술 경쟁력 평가 결과를 도출하였다. 평가 결과, 모든 환경산업 분야에서 미국이 상대적으로 기술경쟁력이 가장 높은 것으로 평가되었으며, 한국은 선진국에 비해 상대적으로 가장 낮은 경쟁력을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 특히, 한국은 다매체 환경관리 및 지속가능 사회시스템 구축분야가 선진국에 비해 기술경쟁력 수준이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국내 환경산업기술이 글로벌 선진시장에 진출하기 위해서는 국내 강점인 사물인터넷, 클라우드, 빅데이터, 모바일, 인공지능 기반의 4차 환경산업 개발을 통해 경쟁력을 강화해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
