Market news Analysis of China semiconductor industry: Sales in 2019 are expected to lead global development

At present, China semiconductor industry is still in the primary development stage, with the development level lower than the international advanced level. With the large-scale introduction, digestion, absorption and key construction of semiconductor industry in China, China has become the largest semiconductor market in the world.

The overall prosperity of semiconductor industry is good. In 2017, global semiconductor revenues were about USD 412.2 billion, with year-on-year growth of 21.62 %, driven by memory price increase and IoT (Internet od Things) demands. Global semiconductor revenues are expected to reach USD 450 billion in 2018, with a growth of 7.7 % compared to 2017, realizing three consecutive years of steady growth. The H1 in 2018 was USD 239.35 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 20.4%. According to the global sales in Q2, 2018, regionally, China, America, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific and all other regions have a growth rate of 30.7%, 26.7 %, 15.9 %, 14.0 % and 8.6 % respectively.

All regional markets and major sub-categories markets are expected to grow in 2018, with the highest growth sub-category still being memory (growth rate of 26.5 %), followed by analog circuits (growth rate of 9.5 %). In 2019, the fastest growth will be in sensors, followed by optoelectronic elements and analog circuits.
