'After various efforts, China's semiconductor industry has achieved remarkable results. The scale of the industry has grown rapidly. In 2017, the industry's total sales reached 544.1 billion yuan. 'On April 12, the 2018 China Semiconductor Market Annual Conference and 'IC' China At the summit, Luo Wenru, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said.
Regarding the development of China's semiconductor industry, in the above meeting, many people in the industry also expressed similar attitudes. For example, Lu Shan, executive vice president of the China Semiconductor Industry Association, said: 'China's semiconductor industry is booming, and China has become a global 'three The most ', the first is the largest market, the second is the fastest growing area, the third is the entire semiconductor, the most active hot spots in the IC industry are emerging in China.
According to data from the China Semiconductor Industry Association, sales of China's integrated circuit industry reached 541.13 billion yuan in 2017, a year-on-year increase of 24.8%, of which integrated circuit manufacturing increased by 28.5% year-on-year in 2017, and sales reached 144.81 billion yuan. The development of the IC industry, such as the person in charge of the Nanjing Jiangbei New Area, told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that the Jiangbei New District of Nanjing is currently building a 100 billion-level integrated circuit industrial park. Currently, it has settled in more than 200 integrated circuit-related companies, striving to include Integrated circuit design, wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, supporting materials, including the entire industry chain development.
According to Zhou Zixue, the chairman of China Semiconductor Industry Association, the support of the national policy is an important reason for the rapid development of the semiconductor industry. 'The semiconductor industry is indeed very hot in China in recent years, mainly the country's support for the industry, the central government, local Support has driven the positive situation of the industry. '
As early as June 2014, the State Council issued the “Outline for Promoting the IC Industry” to encourage and guide the National Development Bank and commercial banks to continue to increase credit support for the IC industry. On March 28, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Circular on the issue of corporate income tax policy for integrated circuit manufacturing enterprises", and proposed that qualified IC manufacturing enterprises would receive preferential treatment for corporate income tax reduction.
However, Zhou Zixue also emphasized that the international competitiveness of China's semiconductor industry is still relatively weak. 'China has so far no global top 20 companies, storage is being built, enterprise products are not yet available, and there are fewer companies and equipment companies. From what perspective, we are not competitive enough. 'The president of Tongfu Microelectronics (11.680, 0.10, 0.86%) interviewed in the 21st Century Business Herald reporter also said that China’s semiconductor industry is rapidly rising internationally. A rising star, but its status is relatively backward.
According to statistics, China's electronic information manufacturing industry has a profit of about 700 billion yuan, and the profit rate is only 5.16%, which is 1.3 percentage points lower than the industrial average profit rate. The main reason is that the core IC industry is almost completely dependent on imports. Imports already account for 14.1% of China's total imports.
'The international competitiveness of China's semiconductor industry needs to be further strengthened. This requires integration into the world's semiconductor industry, the introduction of foreign advanced technologies and concepts to create an ecological environment. From a short-term perspective, it will bring pain to domestic companies. , But in the long term is conducive to the training of outstanding personnel, enhance competitiveness and so on.' Shi Lei told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter.
In fact, in recent years there have been many cases where international companies have entered the Chinese mainland market. On March 12, 2018, the China Semiconductor Industry Association and the Dutch Semiconductor Industry Association signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The latter’s official stated that the Netherlands anticipates that Invested 1 million US dollars to establish China-Holdings Innovation Center.
In addition, the aforementioned person in charge of Jiangbei New District of Nanjing stated that TSMC has a 12-inch fab project in the Jiangbei New District of Nanjing and is expected to start production in the second half of 2018. 'The Jiangbei New District of Nanjing will also actively introduce outstanding domestic and foreign companies to enhance competitiveness. The introduction of talent to create a high quality hardware and software environment. '
