Semiconductor Manufacturing in China industry analysis

Over the five years through 2023, revenue for the Semiconductor Manufacturing industry is expected to grow at an annualized 2.5% per year, to increase to $94.6 billion. This includes anticipated growth of 2.6% in the current year. Although the industry developed steadily in the years through 2023, revenue growth has fallen due to a slowdown in the global economy.International trade is very important to the Semiconductor Manufacturing industry in China. In 2023, exports account for 42.5% of industry revenue, to total $40.2 billion. Competing imports total an estimated $28.1 billion and account for 34.0% of domestic demand. Although imports as a share of domestic demand have been decreasing over the past five years, technical and quality differences between domestically manufactured and foreign semiconductors continue to limit the industry's growth.A large proportion of companies involved in the industry are small or medium in and the majority of semiconductors manufactured by Chinese enterprises are low-end products with low technology. To better satisfy domestic demand, domestic manufacturers will have to enhance their research and development (R&D) capabilities and expand output.ACMR-IBISWorld forecasts that in the next five years, industry revenue will increase 2.0% annually to $104.5 billion in 2028. The main drivers of industry growth will be steady increases in overall demand, gradual growth in demand from downstream domestic industries and increasing demand for the industry's exports. The main markets for semiconductor devices will remain the computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing industries and the network communications industries. In addition to these markets, however, there will be new fields of application, including lighting, industrial automation, meters, medical electrons, automobile electrons and displays.

Trends and Insights

  • Widespread downstream applications supported industry demand. Semiconductor devices are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communication and many other fields, supporting the growth of industry demand.
  • Diodes are the most basic semiconductor devices. Diodes have unidirectional conductivity, simple structure, and wide applications, and are indispensable components in electronic circuits.
  • Industry activities are concentrated in regions with developed economic levels. Economically developed regions typically have higher levels of consumption and stronger purchasing power, providing semiconductor device companies with a larger market and more potential customers.
  • Industry concentration level is low. The largest top four players in the industry are expected to make up of 10.1% of industry revenue in 2025.
