China will become the largest digestive chip stomach"

Days ago, the world authoritative market research and Institutional Firms icinsights predicts that Chinese semiconductor chip market size will grow by 11% this year, to $34 billion 300 million, from third last year, has become the world's largest semiconductor market. On the east coast of the Pacific, last year, the largest North American market will decline 9% this year to $33 billion. This, chairman of the world's largest chip maker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd Zhang Zhongmou predicted: "since 2005, the global chip market will mainly depend on the development of Chinese semiconductor market in the mainland, if the mainland semiconductor market to be in a benign condition, the global chip market All is well. Otherwise, it is likely to lead to the global semiconductor market due to overproduction in 2005 and once again into crisis."

Gartner research report pointed out that in 2004 global chip sales grew 23.4% to $218 billion 500 million. But according to industry estimates, in 2005, the global semiconductor market after a short recovery period after start to swap. Icinsights pointed out that due to the impact of inventory next year, the global chip market will shrink by nearly 2%. But China's semiconductor market will continue to maintain two digit growth.

Semiconresearch pointed out that in 2005, digital cameras and digital TV chip growth is expected to reach 38% and 27%, respectively. In addition, 3G communications and automotive electronics and other new market demand, will become a new growth point in the semiconductor market.

At present, the global semiconductor chip giants are targeting the Chinese market, their slogan is to continue to enter the Chinese market". Intel's strategic communications manager Howard said that 72% of the company's sales from overseas markets, especially the Chinese market.

Semiconductor predators are expected to make more profits in China's business with the surge in production. Because of the huge output means that the meager profits can also create substantial returns. Similarly, a small loss plus market risk may also cause heavy losses. Therefore, they need to speed up the pace of progress in the Chinese market, China's semiconductor market will continue to set off a wave of investment, tens of billions of dollars will continue to flock to China's semiconductor industry.

The third largest in the world, Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturers -- Renesas technology chairman Itou Jungyi said in an interview with this reporter, the original foundation has invested 30 billion yen, Renesas will in the next 3 years to invest 30 billion yen Chinese. Intel, Samsung, PHILPS, Motorola, TI, etc. will also continue to invest without hesitation.
