The nikkei report, the global semiconductor plant are planning large-scale expansion in China, the total investment is expected over the next five years to $50 billion, more than in the past five years more than two times.

The nikkei report, including $24 billion in storage plant, purple light group, there are at least 10 construction or expansion of plant project.

Actively promote semiconductor manufacturing department in Beijing as a major industry, Intel and samsung electronics is also planning to expand existing plants.

But such a big investment, but also let people worry that could trigger a global imbalance between supply and demand.

The nikkei research global semiconductor and semiconductor manufacturing equipment factory operating conditions, including trends and plan orders, and statistics are going to put into China's capital spending, found that most of the additional investment will be spent on semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

U.S. consultancy Bain (Bain & Co.) estimates also showed that the global semiconductor manufacturers in the next 10 years in China, is expected to reach $108 billion in total.

Purple light group plans to set up production in wuhan NAND flash memory and dynamic random access memory (DRAM) factory, the recent acquisition of wuhan new core IC manufacturing company (XMC), be regarded as the Chinese government wants to through the integration of domestic main chip factory, in order to improve the efficiency of investment strategy.

Intel plans to expand dalian storage capacity, samsung electronics may also expand investment in China. Other plans to set up a new factory in China's semiconductor industry including TSMC and United States, Romania (fab).

Analysts said the semiconductor manufacturers have factories in China, in addition to shorten and the distance of the smart phones and personal computers and other electronics manufacturers, may also take this seeks to establish closer communication with the authorities in Beijing, to expand the sales pipeline in China.

The aspirations of the emerging market for smart phones and the Internet of things was about to take off, semiconductor demand is expected to continue to expand, but back to China in the past to promote the iron and steel, shipbuilding, solar power and other industrial investment, supply and demand imbalances in the global market, every time have to be worried about the outside world, the consequences of the next round of excess supply might turn to semiconductors.
