The key development direction is to promote the r&d and industrialization of electronic components

1. Policy history

In China's national economic development plan, the policies related to MCU industry are mainly in the field of electronic components research and development. China's MCU industry policy has undergone a transformation from the 8th Five-Year Plan to strengthen the development and production of electronic components in the electronic industry to the 14th Five-year Plan to improve the level of core electronic components industry.

From the eighth Five-Year Plan (1991-1995) to the ninth Five-year Plan (1996-2000), it was proposed to upgrade the level of communication equipment, core electronic components and key software. In the eleventh Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), it was proposed to vigorously develop core industries such as integrated circuits, software and new components. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), the main development goal is to vigorously develop integrated circuit manufacturing technology and the integrated circuit industry; The 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) and the 14th Five-year Plan put forward to break through the technical bottleneck of IC components, improve the level of core electronic components industry, and help speed up the r&d and industrialization process of electronic components including MCU.

2. National policy summary and interpretation

-- National MCU industry policy summary

Since 2000, The State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other departments have issued a series of policies on R&D, tax incentives and industrialization of integrated circuits and general chips, which involve breakthroughs in the fields of integrated circuits and general chips and technologies reaching international leading levels:

MCU corporate tax policy interpretation

MCU belongs to integrated circuit chip. Since 2000, China has successively issued a number of policies to implement tax preferential policies for enterprises engaged in the production or design of integrated circuit, which plays a positive role in accelerating the R&D and industrialization process of MCU.

-- Interpretation of development goals of MCU industry at the national level

Various departments have issued the medium - and long-term development plans in the field of integrated circuits and general chips. In May 2015, The State Council issued "Made in China 2025", which proposed to break through the core universal chip related to national information and network security and the development of electronic whole machine industry, and improve the application adaptability of domestic chips. In April 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the Mid - and Long-term Development Plan for The Automotive Industry, proposing breakthroughs in advanced automotive electronics such as automotive sensors and on-board chips, as well as lightweight new materials and high-end manufacturing equipment. In January 2019, The State Council issued the Outline of the National Medium - and Long-term Scientific and Technological Development Program (2006-2020), which designated high-end universal chips as one of the 16 major national science and technology projects.

3. Policy summary and interpretation at provincial and municipal levels

-- Summary of MCU industry policies in 31 provinces and cities

All provinces and cities in China have issued relevant policies on MCU industry during the "14th Five-year Plan" period. There are many policies about MCU industry in Yangtze River Delta, Beijing and Tianjin. All provinces and cities take the research and development of key devices such as general, special chip and high-end micro control unit (MCU) as the main development direction:

-- Interpretation of MCU industry development goals in 31 provinces and cities

In 2021, 31 provinces and cities in China have put forward MCU industry development plans during the "14th Five-year Plan" period, which mainly focus on the following points: 1) promoting the design and research and development of universal and special-purpose chips; 2) Build integrated circuit industry chain ecosystem; 3) Expand basic industries such as integrated circuits and components.
