Global mobile phone market growth slows, recently came third JiHai, cut more than half of the order, TSMC overall look, high-end and low-end chips sell mobile phone chips, mid-market and facing out of stock. VR is so hot that the future can change which industries? Foxconn have started mass production iPhone7 exactly what to expect?

1, the high-end low-end phones to sell Haisi cut half of the order

According to foreign media reports, get the message from mobile phone chips supply chain, from the third quarter the market view, the high-end and low-end mobile phones market weak, terminal alone strong phenomenon, plus some mobile phone main chip is still out of stock, may make the supply chain performance limited growth season.

Mobile phone chips supply chain, said the smartphone market momentum is good in the first half of this year, mainly because of China mobile to restart a positive subsidy policy, triggered a new wave. In contrast, high-end smartphone market is still poor, including apple, huawei, new sales performance are not as good as expected.

Overseas analysts' expectations, apple's third quarter this year iPhone shipments will revised to 40 million, than the second quarter totaled 5119 cigarettes, poor season is also a reduction of 32%; Huawei about revised down the year mobile phone sales to 120 million units, estimates less than at the start of 20 million.

High-end smartphones sold motionless, originally hot phenomenon of low-end phones also fell. 4 g mobile phone chips, points out that supply chain in China mobile phone sales expected to amount to mark, started in late June have obviously not subsidies three-mode model, making low-end mobile phone market almost straight down.

Relative to this, the mainland market share is rising year by year, share close to thirty percent last year, as the largest single market.

Taiwan semiconductor testing capacity beyond China, wafer foundry will catch up, will be its complete semiconductor IC design industry chain upstream and downstream layout the final piece of the puzzle. Assessment to Taiwan factory advantage with only two years.

Last week, TSMC factory based in nanjing, chang from across the sea, on both sides of the integrated circuit industry should be mutually beneficial cooperation. It is not chang to cross-strait cooperation in the IC industry for the first time; TSMC in early June when the shareholders' committee, he called for local to invest in Taiwan IC design industry, should be welcome, but to prevent local infiltration of the board of directors and management team.

North America for computer and mobile phone brand is numerous, IC design market has been preempted by Intel, qualcomm, AMD and NVIDIA companies, Europe for international depot powerhouse, automotive IC high proportion, Japan with Toshiba, in the area of storage will be meguiar's merger, dhaka, image sensor field also has a Sony.
