The National Development and Reform Commission said today that judging from this year's situation, the development of China's integrated circuit industry has shown outstanding characteristics in four areas. First, breakthroughs have been made continuously in key core technologies. High-end chip design and manufacturing capabilities continue to improve, characteristic processes such as power semiconductors and compound semiconductors accelerate the formation of differentiated competitive advantages, and accelerate breakthroughs in advanced packaging, memory and other fields. Second, the competitiveness of enterprises continues to increase. The performance of key enterprises in all parts of the industrial chain was generally improving. As of August 27, the first half of the year's revenue of listed companies that had disclosed financial reports increased 12.8% year on year, and net profit increased 99% year on year; related companies actively deployed new technology research and development, and R&D investment increased 13.4% year on year. Investment and production expansion across the industry accelerated at the same time. In the first seven months of this year, investment in the integrated circuit manufacturing industry increased 11.5% year-on-year, and development momentum is sufficient. Third, capacity utilization remains high. In the first half of the year, the production capacity utilization rate of major domestic foundry companies remained above 90%, and production capacity for various processes was gradually increased to meet the manufacturing needs of various types of chips, such as automotive grade and industrial grade, showing a strong trend in production and sales. Fourth, the level of safety in the industrial chain has improved markedly. Domestic integrated circuit equipment and materials are constantly being enriched, and the scale of application is growing steadily, leaping from “single-point breakthrough” to “full-chain collaboration”. In the next step, we will continue to focus on the deployment requirements of the “Outline” of the “15th Five-Year Plan”, give full play to the advantages of the new national system, promote decisive breakthroughs in key core integrated circuit technology research, promote the high-quality development of the integrated circuit industry, and make greater contributions to the continuous development of the Chinese economy in a new direction.
