Abstract

Recent Progress of the Integrated Circuit Industry in China ― Overview of the Manufacturing Industry

Highlights

The global chip market is dominated by the U.S, Japanese and European companies, and the high-end market is almost monopolized by these three major regions
In the field of high-end chips, domestic manufacturers have not yet formed in scale, so manufacturing industry is still dominated by original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
As the domestic semiconductor industry enters the intensive construction period and domestic enterprises increase research and development driven by national policies and market demand, China is expected to speed up the localization of ICs and gradually realize the substitution from low-end to high-end, and reduce the import of ICs and the dependence on other countries

Summary

Introduction

The global chip market is dominated by the U.S, Japanese and European companies, and the high-end market is almost monopolized by these three major regions. In 2018, the sales volume of China's semiconductor chip market reached 194.2 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of 16.89%, ranking the first place. As the domestic semiconductor industry enters the intensive construction period and domestic enterprises increase research and development driven by national policies and market demand, China is expected to speed up the localization of ICs and gradually realize the substitution from low-end to high-end, and reduce the import of ICs and the dependence on other countries. According to analysis of institutions, with the continuous deepening of China's industrialization and informatization, the rising information consumption and the acceleration of smart city construction, and with the gradual development of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things (IoT) and other fields, it is expected that the China’s IC market will maintain a stable growth in the three years. With the technological progress of China's chip design industry, high-end IC design will have a bright future
