Gartner, according to the latest report by mobile phones, computers and other major electronic products demand is weak, the strong dollar and rising inventories factors, such as the 2015 global semiconductor total revenue forecast of $333.7 billion, fell 1.9% to $2014 in 340.3 billion. Top ten semiconductor factory, again with Qualcomm, Qualcomm) and light (Micron) revenue decline is relatively large, at 17.4% and 11.2% respectively.

2. Beat recession More than 2 into administrative office in a factory in Taiwan IC design;

Ark of listed IC design factory consolidated gross revenue only slightly increased 0.9% last year, nearly 6 into a vendor performance decline, however, there are more than 2 into the manufacturer is able to break through the downturn, record sales hit a record high.

PC market is shrinking, the smart phone market growth slowing, poor in two terminal application market, market competition intensifies, the IC design industry last year performance is not ideal.

According to the statistics, published last year on revenue of 70 listed ark factory of IC design, combination of total revenue in nt $509.2 billion last year, only slightly from the previous year increased by 0.9%; Among them, there are as many as 41 vendor performance decline, accounted for about 59%.

Silicon series last year because of the TV chip business division, coupled with poor touch laptop market, consolidated revenue fell to 227 million yuan, annual decrease of 47.46%, for last year's performance decline of the largest manufacturers.

Analog IC design factory for more personal computers as the main target market, more than last year performance declines double-digit percentage points from the previous year level; Manufacturers, to new, Nixon and fuding revenues last year synchronized recession more than 1 into a level from the previous year.

Despite the industry downturn, however, there are still a lot of IC design factory, in operating the beautiful transcripts, there are 16 companies record sales hit a record high last year, accounted for about 23%.

Among them, touch the chip factory, Thai reverse takeover panel driver IC factory xu obsidian, drive the consolidated revenue exceeding RMB 10 billion for the first time last year, up to 11.479 billion yuan, annual increase of 1.54 times.

The rest, netcom JiRong electronic chip factory cica m&a (ZYWYN), high-speed transmission interface chip factory F - spectrum acquisition RACES (Cypress) plath capacitive touch mobile devices business, netcom chip factory CortinaAccess realtek m&a revenues last year hit a record high.

IC design leading factory mediatek complete power management chip factory set chow public acquisition, last year's fourth quarter began to recognize chow performance, combined total revenue of 213.255 billion yuan last year, year increased by 0.09%, genesis record highs.

Fingerprint identification chip factory god shield to tap into the wisdom of hand-held devices market success last year, drive the operation the explosive growth, consolidated revenue of 45.47 million yuan since the year before, jumped to 534 million yuan, increased 10.75 times, not only the record to a record high, growth is also high on the industry.

Power management chip factory - silicon force F, F -, treasure and vertical chow respectively on the solid-state hard disk, mobile phone batteries, TV panel and console market has a good, last year hit a record high, performance is better than the peer level.

Panel driver IC factory silicon gen in the smart phone panel driver IC multiplication of shipment, plus the distance sensor shipment significant growth, consolidated revenue last year climbed to 9.266 billion yuan, annual increase 22%, genesis record highs.

Rf chip factory set product, mixed signal and battery management chip factory lee kang, server management chip factory letter Hua, memory control chip factory group, silicon ipr factory force flourishing and MOSFET factory, in large and medium are also the good grades, performance genesis record highs. The economic journal,

3. Lead local Taiwanese IC design evaluation progress zero;

At the end of the legislative yuan has resolution, based on the national security strategy, shall not open land in IC design industry. The original book published Chinese new years ago local ministry of economic affairs in the domestic semiconductor IC design review, has decided until years later. Assessment report "zero" progress, current industry industry years held a hearing is expected after the meeting, released again!

Domestic semiconductor industry recent close exchanges with China, including the purple light interested in taking a stake in my testing, review the rules and regulations, and even called for Taiwan open land endowment in IC design industry, however, influenced by domestic political environment, local to each case is almost zero.

Only possible schedule that TSMC landing, TSMC late last year has requests for investment in mainland China, 12 inches to TouShenHui fabs, if time permits, the ministry of economic affairs to prepare an extra commission of the lunar year, review on TSMC.

TSMC to hit $3 billion in nanjing in mainland China, 12 inches fabs, domestic already last year practice, combined with the democratic progressive party (DPP) new frontier foundation executive Lin chuan have previously said, understand TSMC considerations point, as long as the technology and the problems of brain drain can control, do not have harm to the development of industry, there is no reason to block the case. TSMC, in other words, in case resistance is small, even if the post-election determine in party to review, also won't shout card temporarily.

, by contrast, lead to Taiwan local participation principle and the IC design industry, officials said, "the industry has not yet completed assessment report", economic area has not yet been communication meeting. The fastest to wait after the Spring Festival, just released evaluation report.

Purple light, on the other hand, to take a stake in Rio, silicon products, south three assembly plants such as alum, legislative resolution, because of the national security, industrial layout and impact assessment, require TouShenHui case before must first to legislative project report, to review work.

The ministry of economic affairs has expressed position, purple light to buy into domestic three seal test factory will review "incorporate", but the possibility of 3 cases were too low. Economy minister Deng Zhenzhong said, "with a rigorous attitude to judge the case. Officials say, review local participation and review qi lu investments has no direct relation with the election, but "pre-election atmosphere does have some influence, coupled with the legislature had been resolution, administrative departments can only be acted.
