The future of China's chip market prospects

Review: in 2013, China's semiconductor lighting industry as a whole to pick up, LED functional lighting market started quickly, it can be described as ushered in the spring of LED lighting. 2014, China's LED industry will continue to rise in 2013, ushered in a new round of growth. Is expected in 2014, the domestic semiconductor lighting industry will continue to maintain rapid growth, the growth rate is expected to reach about 40%.

Chip production and output value increased significantly

Data show that in 2013, the overall size of China's semiconductor industry reached 257 billion 600 million yuan, of which the upstream epitaxial chip scale reached 10 billion 500 million yuan, an increase of 31.5%, but with the investment in 2010-2011 MOCVD production capacity to continue to release the yield increased by 61%, far greater than the output growth. At the end of December 2013, the total number of domestic MOCVD reached around 1090, compared to 2012 increased by about 110, mainly by the listed companies to implement more ample funds.

The future of China's chip market prospects

2013, China's semiconductor lighting industry as a whole to pick up, LED functional lighting market started quickly, it can be described as ushered in the spring of LED lighting. 2014, China's LED industry will continue to rise in 2013, ushered in a new round of growth. Is expected in 2014, the domestic semiconductor lighting industry will continue to maintain rapid growth, the growth rate is expected to reach about 40%.

In 2013, China's chip localization rate reached 75%, in the application of small and medium power has a strong competitive advantage, but in the street lighting and other high-power applications or imported chips. Epitaxial chip link, with the application of the market in full swing, in recent years, the gradual accumulation of investment in the production capacity of the release, 2014 epitaxial chip production, output value will be significantly improved, the output growth rate is expected to reach about 35%. Even if the 2014 LED backlight market share rose steadily, in addition to the lighting market positive stimulus, is expected to drive the development of the chip industry is positive, but it is difficult in a short period of time consumed before the remaining inventory, but also means that the chip industry capacity utilization is greatly improved in a short period of time.

At the same time, chip companies are optimistic about the market outlook, leading to further rapid rise in production capacity, while the Taiwan chip companies in the mainland have to take the localization of the market strategy. Therefore, the future of China's chip market prospects, but there is still no way to avoid more intense market competition.
