Report on China semiconductor industry 2010

NEW YORK, USA: Reportlinker.com has announced a new market research report in its catalogue -- China Semiconductor Industry, 2010.

The impact of China on the world’s semiconductor industry—both as a consumer and supplier—is massive. It demands to be analyzed so that companies can react strategically with speed and agility. This report gives a better understanding of China’s impact on the global semiconductor industry.

This report evaluates the current status of the semiconductor industry in China, assesses geographical and product category demand, reviews shifts in the semiconductor value chain, and analyzes three different IC production growth scenarios.

Semiconductors lie at the heart of ongoing advances across the electronics industry and play a central role in the digital revolution. Semiconductor companies are continuously creating smaller, faster, and more complex chips to meet the demand for rapidly-changing technology.

Driven by both the continued growth of silicon content in end-products and the number of products with silicon components, the semiconductor industry maintained phenomenal growth over the last five years, and growth is expected to continue indefinitely.

The worldwide semiconductor industry is significantly impacted by the strategic focus of individual territories and geographies. With its emerging dominance in electronics manufacturing, China is poised to play a significant role in the semiconductor industry.

China’s semiconductor consumption market grew by 23 percent in 2007 to reach $88 billion, accounting for just over one-third of the worldwide market. China’s share of worldwide semiconductor production was about 9 percent in 2007 and is expected to increase gradually.
