Integrated circuit industry in China

March 2nd, sponsored by the Chinese semiconductor industry association and China Electronic Information Industry Development Institute, CCID Limited by Share Ltd hosted the 2005 China semiconductor market will be held in Shanghai. The meeting focused on the emerging market opportunities in the field of information appliances, mobile computing, digital TV, wireless LAN, automotive electronics and other fields.

At the meeting, Xu Xiaotian, inspector general of the Ministry of information industry, reviewed the development of China's information industry in 2004. In 2004, China's electronic information industry continued to maintain a good momentum of development, and the development of the industry has made a series of new breakthroughs. 2004, China's electronic information industry sales revenue reached 2 trillion and 650 billion yuan, exports of electronic information products reached $200 billion. Annual sales growth of 40%, exports increased by 41%.

Yu Zhongyu, chairman of the China Semiconductor Industry Association, made a speech entitled "China's IC industry and development". He pointed out that since 2000, the State Council issued 18 documents, namely China IC industry has entered a rapid growth period, 2000 to 2004 five years, sales revenue China integrated circuit industry has maintained an average annual growth rate of 30% over the same period, is the highest in the world. By 2004, Chinese integrated circuit industry scale has reached 54 billion 530 million yuan, compared with 2003 growth of 55.4%, an increase of 24 percentage points; Chinese IC market scale has reached 290 billion 800 million yuan, an increase of 40.2%, much higher than the global growth rate.

Yu Zhongyu said that in recent years, China's integrated circuit industry in the rapid expansion of the scale, while technology is also on a new level. A large number of independent intellectual property rights of the chip has been successfully developed last year, the second generation ID card chips, digital multimedia chips and MP3 chips also successfully achieved industrialization. As the main base of the integrated circuit industry throughout the country, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu and later seven plus one of the Hongkong science and Technology Park was built and put into operation, China's IC design industry is growing fast.

He also pointed out that, although in 2005 the global semiconductor market will enter a low growth, but the domestic market demand and the global semiconductor industry transfer will continue to ensure Chinese IC industry to maintain more than 30% growth. It can be said that China will continue to be the global IC industry and market development in 2005.

Domestic authoritative research institutions CCID Consulting Limited by Share Ltd also released the results of the research on the development of China's semiconductor market. CCID Consulting analysts pointed out that the promotion of the three factors make 2004 a good year for China's IC market. These three factors are: 2004 global electronic information products manufacturing center Chinese continue to shift to the mainland, China political stability, low labor costs, industry environment, Europe and the United States, Japan's IT manufacturing enterprises have moved manufacturing to the mainland China; Chinese industrial structure upgrading, and constantly enhance the wireless multimedia and other new the functional properties of electronic machine products, increasing storage capacity are increasing in the promotion of the IT industrial structure upgrade; China itself has a huge domestic market of electronic information products, rapid growth in 2004 China whole economy to promote the IT investment and consumer electronics market growth.

According to CCID data provided by the rapid growth of China auto market driven, automotive electronics IC market growth rate reached 65.4%, in 2004 to become the integrated circuit application market in the fastest growing market.

Annual meeting also held China's top ten integrated circuit design, integrated circuits and discrete device manufacturing, packaging and testing companies and the most growth semiconductor companies release ceremony. Interestingly, in the announcement of the most growth of integrated circuits and discrete device manufacturing enterprises, because there is no business in line with the conditions, even an empty list. It is reported that the selection criteria for screening is more than two hundred million yuan in annual sales, an increase of more than 50%".
