Industry data

China's chip supply is in short supply, market share is nearly 60% in the Pearl River Delta

China is the world's largest consumer of chips. According to national customs statistics, in 2018, China's total chip imports were 312 billion US dollars, accounting for nearly 60% of the global integrated circuit market size of 500 billion US dollars. As the core area of ​​the national electronic information industry, Dawan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao consumes 60% of the total imports.

Chen Wei, president of the Guangzhou Semiconductor Association, said: "China's semiconductor chip market share is nearly 60% in the Pearl River Delta. This year and next year, the entire semiconductor chip industry demand is very large, in short supply."

According to the statistics provided by Guangzhou Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone, there are 26 12-inch production lines under construction and under construction in China. After completion, the production capacity will reach 1.11 million pieces/month. Among them, the 12-inch chip production line officially put into operation in Guangdong Development Zone with a total investment of 28.8 billion yuan is the first in Guangzhou and the only production line in Guangdong Province.

Shenzhen's chip industry structure is very obvious, mainly in the chip design industry.
