2011 Market of Semiconductor in China

Published:2011/1/18 19:31:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

The stock level of semiconductor chip has recovered to normal after going through a recession in 2009 and taking a fast turn for the better in 2010. As a result, the industry trends to slow down the semiconductor growth. SIA predicted that the growth of global chip industry will go up to 6% while optimistic estimate by IDC is 6%. According to import and export statistic of 2010 first ten months, discrete semiconductor devices, passive block and integrated circuit increased by 546.0%, 37.8% and 36.4% among the total import electronic components. OEM in China is helping global semiconductor industry gradually out of the influence of financial crisis as China has become the largest single market to many manufacturers so that the vast China market will continue to tighten their nerve. For instance, TSMC also recently pointed out on "Global Technology Forum" that the benefit from the growing importance of China’s Lunar New Year stocking requirements and increasing market share would result in growth in Q1 2011 though it is off-season.

From the point of global terminal consumer market, touch screen design will be applied in so many personal fittings such as smart phone, panel computer, netbook and laptop which promote MEMS and touch pad on marketing. Under the cooperating effort from operators, manufacturers and chip suppliers, more and more new smart phones and 3G phones will come into the market followed surly by price war.

In China market, the applications in industrial control, security, data collection, smart grid / Meter, DC motor control and drive are favored among semiconductor manufacturers. As some applying control algorithm becomes more complex and high-speed large-capacity data processing capability needs to be improved, the performance of 8 / 16 bit MCU, therefore, has a bottleneck while 32-bit Cortex-M product has a great market.

As far as the future planning of the new energy field concerned, electric vehicles, LED lighting, solar photovoltaic, wind energy etc would be booming in China, though no lack of voices question the prospects of electric cars. To sum up, with the growth of the Chinese market, China’s semiconductor industry will be gradually improve and matured. The related integrated circuit is TN32/19/13.
