The IC design industry is developing fast! Status quo analysis of Chinese IC design industry in 2021 2021-12-09 20:27News source:中商产业研究院
The IC industry can be divided into three parts: IC design, IC manufacturing and IC packaging and testing. In recent years, the overall scale of integrated circuit industry has been greatly expanded, but also promoted the common development of design, manufacturing, sealing and measuring sub-industries. In addition to the significant growth of the industry scale, the industrial structure of the IC industry is also constantly optimized. The sales volume of the design link with high added value has become the largest part of the IC industry chain, and its proportion in the total sales volume of the IC industry has steadily increased.
Data show that from January to September 2021, China's IC design industry grew 18.1% year on year, with sales of 311.1 billion yuan; Wafer manufacturing grew 21.5 percent year on year to 189.81 billion yuan; The packaging and testing industry grew 8.1% year on year to 184.95 billion yuan. Among them, the development of integrated circuit design industry is particularly rapid and has maintained a high growth rate for many years. Since 2016, the total scale of integrated circuit design industry has surpassed the packaging and testing industry, taking the first place in the integrated circuit industry.

With the release of the Outline for promoting the Development of the National IC Industry and the promulgation of a series of other encouraging policies, the IC design industry has become the most competitive field in China's IC industry. Since 2015, local governments have taken various preferential measures to attract mature domestic design enterprises to open branches in other places. According to statistics, in 2020, the number of domestic chip design enterprises reached 2,218, 438 more than the 1,780 in 2019, with the number increasing by 24.6%.
