China Emerges as the Global Leader in Semiconductor Sales
Doanh số chất bán dẫn trong tháng 1 của Trung Quốc tăng 26,6% so với cùng kỳ năm trước, cao hơn so với Mỹ và thế giới. Theo báo cáo của Hiệp hội Công nghiệp Bán dẫn (SIA) có trụ sở tại Hoa Kỳ, doanh thu của ngành bán dẫn toàn cầu đạt tổng cộng 47,6 tỷ USD trong tháng 1, tăng 15,2% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái. Trung Quốc đã vượt qua Mỹ và Nhật Bản để trở thành quốc gia dẫn đầu đà tăng doanh số bán dẫn toàn cầu.
China’s Dominance in Semiconductor Sales
The semiconductor sales in China grew by an impressive 26.6% in January compared to the same period last year, surpassing both the United States and the rest of the world. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) based in the United States, global semiconductor revenue reached a total of $47.6 billion in January, a 15.2% increase compared to the same period last year. China, with its remarkable growth in semiconductor sales, has emerged as the leading country in the global market.
Decline in Japan and Europe
While China experienced significant growth, Japan witnessed a decline of 6.4% in semiconductor sales, and Europe saw a decrease of 1.4%. The contrast between China’s exceptional growth and the decline in other major economies highlights the country’s increasing prowess in chip production and self-sufficiency.
China’s Chip Manufacturing Capacity
Experts attribute China’s success to its substantial improvements in chip manufacturing capabilities. Ma Jihua, a seasoned telecommunications expert, stated that China’s chip production capacity has significantly improved, driven by the country’s high demand for chips in various internet-connected devices. As a result, China’s self-sufficiency in chip production is rapidly increasing.
Xiang Ligang, the CEO of the Beijing-based Information Consumption Alliance, stated that China’s self-supply capacity in chip production has increased from around 5% in 2018 to 17% in 2022, with projections to reach 30% by 2023.
Rapid Development of China’s Semiconductor Industry
China’s semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid growth. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country’s total output of integrated circuits (ICs) reached 351.4 billion units in 2023, a 6.9% increase compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, the General Administration of Customs of China reported that the country imported 479.5 billion units of ICs in 2023, spending $349.4 billion. This reflects a decrease of 15.4% and 10.8%, respectively, compared to 2022.
Increasing Investment in Science and Technology
The Chinese Ministry of Finance estimates an annual 6.4% increase in financial expenditure for science and technology development over the past six years. From 2018 to 2023, spending on science and technology in China has risen from 832.7 billion Chinese yuan ($117.2 billion) to nearly 1.06 trillion Chinese yuan.
According to a government report submitted to the National People’s Congress on March 5th, China aims to enhance its self-sufficiency and strength in science and technology. The report outlines China’s plan to launch the AI Plus initiative and accelerate research in breakthrough and advanced technologies.
China’s impressive growth in semiconductor sales and its commitment to technological advancement position the country as a global leader in the industry. As the semiconductor market continues to evolve, China’s expanding chip manufacturing capabilities and investment in science and technology will undoubtedly shape the future of the industry.
