According to Gartner, the semiconductor industry grew 22% globally in 2017. But at the end of 2017, Apple’s chip inventory was up 128 percent; Cisco’s chip inventory rose 44%; Samsung’s chip inventory rose 41%. In other words, the increase in inventories is a sign of slower growth than expected. Therefore, global semiconductor growth is expected to be 7.5 percent in 2018. In addition, according to TSMC’s forecast for 2018, the development direction of the semiconductor market will shift from mobile phone chips to the following three industries: HPC (High Performance Computing), IOT (Internet of Things), and Automotive. There’s going to be a shift from low unit price, mass product, to high unit price, targeted product.

Semiconductor Market in China

Domestic large fund, expected to invest 79 billion RMB in semiconductor industry. It will mainly target Chinese companies. Of the big funds, 67 percent will be in Foundry, 18 percent for chip development, 8 percent for packaging and testing, and 3 percent for materials. In terms of regional distribution, it is mainly in the Yangtze River Delta region, accounting for 34%. The second is the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei block.
