According to the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce, in the first half of 2018, the import value of China's integrated circuit products increased by 22.7% year-on-year, which is expected to reach 134.933 billion US dollars. In addition, the data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also includes: January-May, China's investment in integrated circuit industry increased year-on-year. 28.1%; From January to May, China's semiconductor discrete device industry investment increased by 33.1% year-on-year; China's electronic device manufacturing added value increased by 13.9% from January to May; China's IC output value increased by 14.6% from January to May; In May, China's integrated circuit export delivery value increased by 1.8% year-on-year; from January to May, China's electronic device manufacturing industry's main business income increased by 6.20%; from January to May, China's electronic device manufacturing total profit decreased by 14.1%; In May, China's electronic device manufacturing industry's main business profit margin was 5.3%; China's IC manufacturing industry's profit increased by 13.6% from January to May; China's electronic components and electronic materials manufacturing value added increased by 15.5 percent in January-May. %, main business income increased by 11.5% year-on-year, profit increased by 16.6%, and the income profit rate was 5.3%.
Huang Libin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the integrated circuit industry is the forerunner of the national economy and social development, and the pillar industry. In 2014, China issued the promotion outline for the development of the national integrated circuit industry. In recent years, under various efforts, China’s integration The circuit industry has achieved rapid development. At present, China's chip design level has been improved by 2 generations, manufacturing processes have been upgraded by 1.5 generations, and 32, 28 nanometers and other processes have achieved large-scale mass production.
First, the scale of the industry has continued to grow. In 2017, the sales of China's integrated circuit industry reached 560 billion yuan.
Second, the core technology has made breakthroughs. The chip design level has been improved by 2 generations, and the manufacturing process has been upgraded by 1.5 generations, 32 nanometers, and 28 nanometers to achieve large-scale mass production.
Third, the strength of key enterprises is also strengthening. Haisi, Ziguang and Zhanrui are the sixth and tenth largest chip design companies in the world respectively. SMIC and Huahong Group have become the fifth and ninth largest chip generation in the world. Industrial manufacturing enterprises, Changjiang Electronics Technology, Tongfu Microelectronics, Tianshui Huatian also ranked third in the world in the packaging and testing industry, sixth and eighth.
Fourth, industrial investment has grown substantially. In the past three years, the annual investment of the whole industry has exceeded 100 billion yuan. The storage has achieved a strategic layout, and the layout of the manufacturing industry has achieved initial results.
In view of the current situation that more than 95% of high-end chips in China rely on imports, the Director of the Information and Communication Development Department and the spokesperson Wen Ku stressed that from a global perspective, the development of semiconductors is crucial, including countries and regions in the world including China. For example, Korea, Japan, the United States, and Europe all attach great importance to semiconductor development. To develop our industries, semiconductors are a foundation. Next, we hope to cooperate closely with companies from all over the world, including semiconductor companies. Applying excellent technology to fully utilize the performance of semiconductor products. Especially in the upcoming 5G era, better semiconductor devices are needed to support them. We hope that companies in the semiconductor industry around the world can work together and work together side by side. Something is done well.
