According to global market researcher IHS, Samsung ranked in second spot in total semiconductor production last year with a 10.7 percent share, following Intel's 14.1 percent.

Samsung company said the investment is expected to generate industrial production worth 41 trillion won and create 150,000 new jobs. It also anticipated the new complex will facilitate related industries such as materials and manufacturing equipment.

The company said the Pyeongtaek line will play a key role in producing semiconductor products for the expanding mobile device and server equipment market as well as the rapidly emerging Internet of Things sector.

Kim confirmed that the new manufacturing line will increase the company's semiconductor production capacity by 10 percent once it starts operating in the first half of 2017.
