According to the semiconductor industry association (SIA), according to the latest figures released in 2015, under the condition of decline in global semiconductor market as a whole, the Chinese market outshine others, in this winter of integrated circuits, year-on-year growth of 6.1%, a record 1.1024 trillion yuan. More happily, in domestic IC market booming at the same time, domestic chip rate increase gradually, China's integrated circuit production is higher in successive years, as the industry's leading companies, mediatek, zte, huawei also ushered in the harvest.
But on the way to surpass foreign chip giant, domestic chip manufacturers in the chip business model, capital scale, brand image promotion, etc, are still lacking, at the same time of strengthening research and development strength, domestic chip manufacturers still to be improved in these three aspects.
Domestic chip off around the corner
In recent years, as a smart phone, tablet, the rapid development of the logistics network, and other industries, the chip of the growing status of, but for a long time, our country's chip is more dependent on imports, in 2014, China imported chip, a total of $217.6 billion, $228.3 billion is second only to oil imports, slow chip development has become the pain points of the whole industry development. But as the country to more and more attention in the field of integrated circuit, and set up the fund support, now the domestic integrated circuit is a thriving.
On the one hand, on the industrial scale, the domestic market led the global market. According to the latest data released by SIA, global semiconductor market sales of $2015 in 335.2 billion, down 0.2% year-on-year. Japanese and European semiconductor markets also fell. But in 2015 the Chinese market scale of integrated circuits are still a record 1.1024 trillion yuan, up 6.1% from a year earlier, as the world's one of the few can still keep growing regional markets. In the chip involves several industries, in recent years, IC packaging industry growth rate of 16.9%, IC manufacturing industry growth rate of 25%, the IC design field growth rate reached 38.7%. Compared with global single-digit growth, the amount of presented the outbreak situation.
On the other hand, the slow development of domestic chip manufacturers, patent has long been considered to be a big constraint, and now this block is ruled out. According to international patent retrieval company QUESTEL released the chip industry patent analysis and patent portfolio evaluation ", according to a report since 2010, our country's patent application significantly accelerated pace, technological innovation is increasingly active, the overall level also is increasing year by year. QUESTEL report also shows that, in order to ORBIT patent database includes 99 countries and organizations of patent data as the data source, data retrieval as of April 6, 2016, global chip patent number 6 times in the past 18 years, realized the amazing growth, while China chip patent applications in the past 18 years, realized the 23 times of extraordinary growth, the number on the China has become a chip application for a patent for the first big country.
Valiant vendors on
Domestic whole fast leaps and domestic chip manufacturers to develop has a direct relationship.
Huawei recently released new members kirin kirin family 650 chip is a lot of domestic chip. We have learned, in the chip technology research and development, huawei investment has more than $1 billion, developers are 11 with all over America, Europe and Asia countries and regions; Mediatek's success in 2015 broke the qualcomm's blockade of the north American market, entered the t-mobile qualified suppliers in North America. New, recently released mediatek chips the sunrise X20 force, this is another innovation of its impact on high-end market. The chip support with zero delay sliding screen experience mediatek SilkSwipe silky technology, 10 nuclear three cluster of powerful performance of carrying the chip in the popular application such as mobile terminals in the grab a red envelope is much better than competing goods at the same level of performance; Zte, with years of global patent management ability and competition rules of international intellectual property skillfully use.
In addition, smic, China LiWei electronics, broadcom and other is this wave development.
"Leap" three had stayed shut
In the industry have pointed out that the current cloud computing, Internet of things, big data, such as VR, Pre 5 g just emerging new business mode of industrial revolution, new business models are to trigger more chip demand, integrated circuit industry structure reshape the opportunity, this will be China's integrated circuit enterprises facing opportunities. However, chip makers in China, there are still three aspects to break through.
First, the business model is not clear. Compared with the industry's giants, domestic chip manufacturers lack of relatively complete industrial chain, often fragmented chip manufacturers, rival, thus to form resultant force.
Second, capital there is a certain gap. The current domestic chip manufacturers, in addition to large manufacturers on r&d spending money, for the small manufacturer, increase r&d often impractical.
Third, industrial image need to be upgraded. Over the years, such as foreign companies such as qualcomm chip commonly known, and often mention domestic chip, the public's impression is not very good, it besides has a certain relationship with technology, with domestic manufacturers more lack of image promotion has a direct relationship.
