Benefit from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and 3 G, mobile TV and DMB-T and other new national standards introduced, the Chinese IC design industry in 2008 will usher in a healthy development.

Estimated 2008 global semiconductor sales grew only 4 percent from 2007's 269 billion U.S. dollars rose to nearly 280 billion U.S. dollars. At the same time, China is expected semiconductor sales grew only 7 percent, significantly lower than the double-digit growth in the past.

However, in 2008 China's IC industry will be no plant in 2007 of 3.1 billion U.S. dollars increased by 16 percent to 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. Consumer electronics and wireless equipment upgrades are driving the market growth.

Shenzhen is about to launch innovative industry board, will also become a milestone this year. "China's version of Nasdaq," is expected to help domestic IC companies without factories more easily issue stock (IPO), the industry will attract a lot of interest local investors.

This will greatly benefit China's IC industry. iSuppli predicts that in 2008 there are at least eight IC enterprises listed preparations. China is expected to 2007-2012 in the IC industry turnover will reach 7.1 billion U.S. dollars, the compound annual growth rate will reach 18 percent.

Under pressure, many second-tier and third-line IC company's operating income would be a cumulative growth, especially in the consumer electronics and communications equipment market. On the other hand, in order to avoid CMOS logic in the field of fierce price competition, no company will target plants to niche markets, driven simulation, power | Regulators management and light-emitting diode (LED) drive the field. This change in the next three years will affect the global manufacturers, as logic devices in the area of the case.

2002-2004 Chinese IC plant with the rapid expansion of the company. In China, from the initial stage, up to product development, with factory signed a contract to build customer base and eventually to mass production, no plant completed this process usually takes four to five years. China's IC industry is no plant more polarization.

Dozens of vendors at a loss, and the lack of guarantee their survival mature product. Most manufacturers will be forced to layoffs, production or even close.
