China have an aspiring goal, expected by enhancing their domestic semiconductor production, play an important role in the global supply chain intelligent mobile phone.
According to a forecast, to 2020, Chinese semiconductor consumption 85% from overseas, only 15% are in the local manufacturing; and USA chip industry will be the main supplier China market demand, the second is Samsung Electronics (Samsung Electronics). China wants to reverse this situation, in 2020 to allow China vendors to fill local semiconductor demand 50%.
In order to achieve the above goal, Chinese must support several revenue reached the scale of tens of billions of dollars in local semiconductor company, to reach $150000000000 chip sales scale required. But at present, there are only two Chinese revenue of more than $one billion of semiconductor manufacturers -- Hisilicon (HiSilicon Technologies) and Spreadtrum (Spreadtrum Communications).
China going through the following strategies to expand semiconductor supply:
'in 2016 to 2020 years, investing $100000000000 to build the domestic semiconductor industry ecosystem; these funds will help strengthen the fabless chip industry Chinese competitiveness in IP and product design, at the same time engineer personnel training, to ensure that the number of graduating from University College of the engineer fresh enough industry required. To participate in the investment including Chinese Investment Authority Ziguang group (Tsinghua Unigroup) and the Shanghai Pudong science and Technology Investment Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Investment).
After the establishment of the Fab, the goal is to reach 1000000 per month wafer capacity in 2020; making those Fab will support memory and non memory products, and emphasizes the process technology competitive. The joint venture will likely be part of the execution of the plan.
China's monthly million wafer production target, not including those chip manufacturing in China foreign; for example, to build a factory in Xi'an to build a factory in Wuxi Samsung and Hynix SK (Hynix), set up a factory in Dalian Intel (Intel), and TI to build a factory in Chengdu (TI). The ambitious target, China has always been good at performing large national plans, such as the establishment of high-speed railway system, and the output reached 22000000 cars a year.
China expects in self-made semiconductor production capacity in 2020 reached the target
Chinese Homemade chip lock smart phone applications
Smart phones are the establishment of China key application field of chip production capacity of self-control. China's homegrown smartphone makers including HUAWEI (Huawei Technologies), millet (Xiaomi), Association (Lenovo), OPPO (Guangdong OPPO Mobile Telecommunications), cool (Yulong Coolpad), Hisense (Hisense Electric), and many other brands, the estimation of these Chinese smartphone vendor shipments will be strong growth in 2014 and 2015.
Non native Chinese smartphone vendors, including Samsung, apple (Apple), Le Jin (LG Electronics), Microsoft (Microsoft), SONY (Sony), HTC (HTC), blackberry (BlackBerry) etc.. The Samsung is the global smartphone market leader, but its shipments in 2014 is expected to be lower than in 2013; if the lack of product innovation function, Samsung smartphone shipments may fall further in 2015.
But the Chinese market is expected to be listed on the apple iPhone 6 positive reaction; Apple mobile phone shipments a year in about 160000000 or so. It is worth noting that each apple phones achieved revenue is relatively high.
