The SEMI released a survey report that the global market could reach US $49 billion 400 million this year, an increase of 19.7% over the same period last year. It also set a record for the Chinese mainland to surpass Taiwan and China as the world's second largest market next year. This will provide a foundation for China to create.
Chinese mainland China has been the largest semiconductor equipment market in the world in the past few years. It relies on the largest semiconductor foundry company such as the world's largest semiconductor company, the second largest mobile chip companies in the world, the joint venture of the world's IC mobile phone, and the leading companies of the world, including the leading companies in Taiwan.
Semi said that South Korea will have the fastest growth this year. It has Samsung and SK Hynix, the world's top two DRA m chip enterprises. These two enterprises are also the world's largest and fourth largest NAND flash enterprises. Driven by the continuous rise of DRAM and NAND flash prices, the semiconductor sales in this country will soar by 68.7% year-on-year to US $12.97 billion, It will surpass China and Taiwan for the first time in five years to win the first position in the global semiconductor equipment market.
China pays more and more attention to scientific and technological innovation. According to the statistical bulletin of national science and technology investment in 2016 jointly issued by the National Bureau of statistics, the Ministry of science and technology and the Ministry of finance, China's total R & D investment in 2016 reached 1567.67 billion yuan, ranking second in the world after the United States; In terms of investment intensity (the ratio of R & D funds to GDP), the proportion reached 2.11% in 2016, which has exceeded the level of 2.08% of the 15 EU countries and shortened the level with developed countries, which will help China enter the ranks of innovative countries in 2020.
It is in the national innovation strategy plan that the Chinese mainland set up the National IC industry fund to support the development of domestic semiconductor industry in 2014. Since then, the semiconductor industry in Chinese mainland has begun to show a high growth momentum. Several semiconductor industries, such as IC design, IC manufacturing and IC sealing test, have shown a high growth momentum.
China China's China semiconductor industry has a slightly higher output value than the mainland of China in the first half of this year, but China has surpassed Taiwan, China in terms of IC design and IC sealing test, and only IC manufacturing still lagged behind Taiwan, Taiwan.
In terms of IC design, according to the "top ten IC design enterprises in 2016" released by CSIA, Huawei Hisilicon, Ziguang zhanrui, huiding technology, etc. according to Tuolong Industry Research Institute, Spreadtrum under Huawei Hisilicon and Ziguang zhanrui ranks sixth and ninth among the top ten IC design enterprises in the world respectively. Huawei Hisilicon gradually catches up with Qualcomm in technology research and development, In terms of market share of mobile phone chips, Spreadtrum has directly caught up with MediaTek, the world's second-largest mobile phone chip enterprise, and huiding technology is the world's second-largest touch chip enterprise and the star enterprise of fingerprint identification technology.
In terms of storage chips, Chinese mainland is catching up. The three major storage chip companies, Changjiang storage, Hefei Changxin and Fujian Jinhua are currently working hard to build their factories and commissioning equipment. The Yangtze River storage is expected to start putting into operation NAND flash flash chips next year. Hefei Changxin and Fujian Jinhua expect to start DRAM storage chips in the second half of next year. This will make Chinese mainland another important force beyond the three largest chip producers in Korea, Japan and the US.
In terms of IC sealing and testing, a large number of world-famous IC sealing and testing enterprises such as Changdian technology, Huatian technology and Tongfu micro power have emerged. Among them, Changdian technology has ranked third in the global IC sealing and testing industry, while Huatian technology and Tongfu micro power rank seventh and eighth respectively. Among them, the fourth largest IC sealing test company launched by Changdian technology in 2015 is the global surprise Chinese mainland IC sealing test company's strength. This will help Changdian technology acquire advanced IC packaging technology and enhance its R & D strength, and become the world's top IC sealing test enterprise and expand overseas market.
In terms of IC manufacturing, Chinese mainland has SMIC and Shanghai Huahong listed as the top ten IC manufacturing enterprises in the world, ranking fifth and ninth places. SMIC is currently developing 14nm FinFET technology, which is expected to be mass-produced next year. At the same time, it is developing more advanced 7Nm technology, and is also critical to 7Nm and advanced technology. The Chinese mainland will receive the supply of, the ASML of lithography head.
China's China will Chinese Mainland become China's second largest semiconductor equipment market next year. It will promote the development of China's semiconductor industry and provide impetus for the transformation of China's manufacturing industry to China, and information technology, high-end manufacturing, bio economy, green and low carbon. China's five strategic emerging industries such as digital creativity also need the development of semiconductor industry to provide support for them.
