Compared with the negative growth of 11% of the sales revenue of the whole industry, the recession of China's integrated circuit market is relatively mild. The total sales of integrated circuits in the Chinese market in the whole year was 567.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 5%; Compared with the 9% decline in the global IC market, the performance of the Chinese market is also a little relieved.

In the past five years, the performance of China's integrated circuit market is also significantly better than the overall global level. Li Ke, general manager of CCID Consulting semiconductor industry research center, revealed that from 2005 to 2009, the compound annual growth rate of China's integrated circuit market was 10.5%, while the global market was stagnant.

China's status as a major manufacturer of electronic products determines that China has become a major consumer of integrated circuit products in the world. According to Li Ke, in 2009, China produced 610million mobile phones, accounting for 1/2 of the world's total; The output of notebook computers is 180million, accounting for 60% of the world; The output of color TV sets is 99million, accounting for 1/2 of the world. "The output of mainstream consumer electronics, communications and computers accounts for half or more of the global output. It is not surprising that China's integrated circuit market accounts for 44% of the global market." Li Ke said.

In the next few years, China's integrated circuit market will continue to develop steadily in the rebound and adjustment. The Internet of things, low carbon, smart grid, photovoltaic industry, wireless technology and its application market will further promote the development of China's semiconductor market in the future. It is predicted that from 2010 to 2012, the compound annual growth rate of China's integrated circuit market will reach 13.8%, and by 2012, the market scale will reach 835.4 billion yuan. Li Ke believes that the Chinese government has always supported the development of the integrated circuit industry, and the industrial environment and investment environment of China's integrated circuits will continue to improve in the future. "The preparation of the 12th Five Year Plan for the integrated circuit industry is the key work of the current China Semiconductor Industry Association." President Jiang Shangzhou said, "now we are facing an important period for the country to transform its economic development mode, especially to cultivate emerging strategic industries. This is also a critical period for connecting the past and the future. Looking ahead, especially during the 12th Five Year Plan period, China's semiconductor industry should usher in a transition period."
