Abstract
The regulation of business area was abolished to improve the competitiveness of the construction industry and the ability of general and specialty contractors to enter the mutual market. As the next step, the government is preparing for a reorganization of business type. If the impact of the abolishing of business area on the construction industry is analyzed, the result can contribute to determining the step by step application scope of the reorganization of business type. This study derived the business types having a high probability of the mutual market entry of general and specialty contractors. Then, the size of mutual market entry is analyzed. First, the connection between the general and specialty construction, and the similarities between the registration standards of general and specialty construction are analyzed. Based on the result, a general contractor can enter 15 business types of specialty construction, and the market size is about 78.8 trillion KRW. This is about 82% of the total contract cost of specialty construction during the year 2017 (about 96 trillion KRW). Next, based on the relevance of business contents, the market size when general contractors enter the specialty construction market is analyzed. As a result, the market size is about 24.7 trillion KRW, and this is about 13% of total contract cost of general construction during the year 2017 (about 190 trillion KRW). Based on the result of this study, there is a higher probability of the mutual market entry of general contractors into specialty construction than vice versa. However, the result of this study is based on the current contents of business types, registration standards, and construction data of before abolishing the regulation of business area. This is a research limitation. If the business contents and registration standards are changed in the future, the result could differ from the current result.
