China’s semiconductor self-sufficiency drive slid backwards in 2020
China-owned silicon manufacturers’ domestic market share has slipped below six percent, according to analyst firm IC Insights, suggesting the nation’s goal of silicon semi-self-sufficiency in just four years time is in strife.
The firm’s 2021 edition of The McClean Report — A Complete Analysis and Forecast of the Integrated Circuit Industry said China’s chip-makers supply 5.9 percent of the nation’s needs, down 0.2 percent since the May 2020 edition of the report.
The slip comes despite China making chip production for domestic consumption and export a priority with policies like the “Made in China 2025” policy that calls for homegrown products accounting for 70 percent of domestic total semiconductor needs by 2025. Tax cuts and other initiatives commenced to accelerate the supply with larger subsidies going to chipmakers manufacturing with smaller process nodes.
