It is estimated that the domestic IPOs will grow about 30% or hopefully more than doubled for the first quarter of 2013 year-on-year.

According to Peter & Partners and industry sources on January 31, there are eight companies that have been listed on the stock market or set the schedule for public offering during the first quarter period this year; Zero-to-Seven, WinPac, IOnes, Global Display (GD), Corentec, Wooree E&L, Fortis and I-Sens. This is a 30% increase from the first quarter of last year (6 companies).

Last year, a total of 14 companies, apart from two special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC), passed the preliminary deliberation for KOSDAQ listing. Among them, eight are supposed to go public within the first quarter of 2013.

Indeed, all of the 14 companies that successfully completed the preliminary deliberation last year are expected to be listed on the stock market during the first half of this year. Considering that Access Bio applied for the preliminary deliberation in November last year, the number of IPOs for the first half of this year will possibly be 15 in total.
