China Semiconductor Market Industry Segmentation:

China’s semiconductor market is undergoing a massive transformation, driven by strong policy support and an urgent need to reduce dependence on foreign technology. Programs like the “Big Fund” and Made in China 2025 are at the heart of this momentum, channeling billions into developing local chip capabilities. Companies like SMIC are making notable strides—already moving into 7nm production and eyeing 5nm development—while homegrown equipment makers such as AMEC and Naura are rapidly gaining ground, now accounting for nearly a quarter of China’s semiconductor equipment market. That’s a huge leap from just five years ago. Meanwhile, due to the ongoing U.S. export controls and global supply chain challenges, China is doubling down on mature chip nodes (28nm and above), which now make up the bulk of its production capacity. These chips are essential for industries like automotive, industrial IoT, and consumer electronics. By focusing here, China is strengthening its domestic base while aiming to meet an ambitious target: producing 70% of the chips it consumes by 2025—up from just 16% in 2020.

What’s driving this demand? A rapid surge in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and 5G. In fact, China’s AI chip market alone reached $12.4 billion in 2023, fueled by startups like Horizon Robotics and Cambricon, which are building systems for autonomous driving and smart cities. At the same time, electric vehicles—an industry where Chinese automakers like BYD and NIO are leading—are becoming heavy consumers of semiconductors, especially advanced chips like SiC modules and microcontrollers. These components are essential for improving battery performance and vehicle efficiency. On the telecom front, the country has already rolled out over two million 5G base stations, creating strong demand for RF chips and processors. Plus, with edge computing and industrial IoT on the rise, foundries are shifting priorities, dedicating nearly half of their capacity to meet these sectors’ needs. This rapid diversification of demand is not only accelerating local production but also encouraging more specialization in analog and logic chips.

At the same time, geopolitics is reshaping the market. U.S. trade restrictions have pushed China to localize its semiconductor ecosystem at an unprecedented pace. Since 2021, there’s been a 65% spike in domestic chip design firms—now numbering over 3,000—developing everything from EDA software to IP cores and memory technologies. YMTC and CXMT, for instance, are working on cutting-edge memory chips like 232-layer NAND and LPDDR5X DRAM, aiming to carve out a meaningful global share despite sanctions. Manufacturing hubs are consolidating in regions like the Yangtze River Delta, which now hosts over half of China’s chip fabs. Local suppliers are stepping up too—Zing Semiconductor and others now meet over a third of China’s demand for 300mm silicon wafers. But with this rapid expansion comes risk: oversupply, especially in mature nodes, could become a challenge. With 19 new fabs expected to come online by the end of 2024, the market will need to balance investment momentum with long-term sustainability.
