2006 semiconductor discrete device sales will increase by 20%

Although in China semiconductor market integrated circuit has attracted much attention, but as one of the two branches of semiconductor discrete devices industry still has a wide range of applications, including high power, high pressure, high frequency, high speed, high sensitivity, low noise, photoelectric discrete devices due to not easily integrated or integrated high cost, so it is still with a broad space for development, there is still a price advantage and even some small signal transistor in China manufacturing.

Demand for computers and peripherals

In 2005 Chinese discrete devices market after early short "Silence", the second half of the resumption of strong growth, although the annual no 2004 strong momentum, but there are still two digit growth is relatively flat, the global discrete devices in the market the only bright spot ", consolidate the world's largest discrete devices market position, and occupy half of the country". Annual market sales of more than 221 billion, an increase of 10.8%, sales of $64 billion 380 million, an increase of 16.8%.

From the current domestic market application structure discretes, its application fields include consumer electronics, computer and peripherals, network communication, many aspects of electronic equipment and instrumentation, automotive electronics, LED display and electronic lighting etc.. The application of the market structure, the three major consumer electronics, computer and peripherals market application and network communication is still the most important, these three areas in 2005 with discrete devices sales reached 32 billion 20 million, 68 billion 406 million and 41 billion 60 million, respectively, accounting for the total market sales 14.5%, 30.9% and 18.6%. One computer and peripheral products is still the largest segment of the market demand for discrete devices, but also the fastest growing market demand in 2005, the growth rate of 17.7%. In addition, automotive electronics and electronic lighting is also the two major areas of rapid growth, its demand growth of 17.6% and 15.9%.

In the product structure at home and discrete devices on the market, diode, triode, power transistor, photoelectric device, four kinds of main products, the photodiode sales grew more rapidly, the growth rate of 25.3%, the scale of 11 billion 678 million yuan, its share in the overall market in 18.1%. As the largest market share of the domestic discrete device market, power transistor market growth in 2005 reached 19.2%, its market sales of $21 billion 445 million, its market share reached 33.3%. Diode, transistor market growth is relatively stable.

Foreign manufacturers accounted for absolute advantage

In 2005 China discrete devices industry has formed a considerable scale, to further expand the scale of domestic packaging and testing companies, China discrete devices manufacturing enterprises (including foreign and domestic enterprises) more than 160 billion of total output, sales income of more than 14 billion yuan. Although faced with rising prices of raw materials, but the price is still down the ordinary straight tube transistor, while the diode price has risen.

The pattern of competition in the market, the current Chinese discrete device on the market, foreign manufacturers occupy the absolute advantage, only long power technology and China in 2005 before the 20 market vendors in microelectronics two mainland enterprises. STMicroelectronics, Fei Zhaohe on the field of power discrete devices are leading enterprises, thus showing the power of discrete device manufacturers occupy an important position in the domestic market. The 20 companies in 2005 the total market sales of $41 billion 717 million, accounting for the total market size of 64.9%, indicating that China's discrete device market brand concentration is not high.

In the enterprise production scale, 2005 sales revenue of over 1 billion yuan, the annual output of over 10 billion enterprises of Leshan radio, long power technology, such as PHILPS and KEC. From the mainland of China, more than and 200 discrete manufacturing enterprise situation, the number of domestic enterprises accounted for 80%, production accounted for about 20%, showing the characteristics of small scale, low grade; and 20% of the background of foreign capital enterprises accounted for about 80% of the total production, showing the characteristics of product quality, high price.

Photodiode is the fastest growing product in the next few years

In the future, the market demand of discrete devices in China will be concentrated in the traditional fields of computer and peripherals, network communication and so on. At the same time, electronic lighting, industrial automation, instrumentation, medical electronics, automotive electronics, electronic display industry is becoming a new market for discrete devices.

On the main products of discrete devices, is expected in 2005 -2009 will remain the fastest growing products, with the pace of urban construction in China, the demand for high brightness LED products soared. Applications such as public display systems, traffic lights, car lights and other areas will drive the development of the LED market. It is expected in the next 5 years the average annual compound growth rate will reach 26%, in 2009 its sales will reach nearly $30 billion.

In addition to the photodiode, power transistor is also the future of the domestic discrete device market demand for rapid growth of products. Power transistors are widely used in electronic lighting, communications and computer industry, it is the heart of all electrical equipment, widely used in power, transmission, traction, chemical, power and other fields. Power transistors are expected to grow at an average annual rate of 20.4% over the next 5 years, and by 2009, the market size will reach $45 billion 219 million.

In addition to the above two categories of products, ordinary diode and ordinary transistor will maintain stable growth, is expected to 5 years the average annual compound growth rate will reach 15.7% and 15.4%, by 2009 the market size will reach 33 billion 596 million yuan and 19 billion 545 million yuan.
