Strategy Analytics: China to Expand Its Semiconductor Industry
Summary
Christopher Taylor, Director of RF & Wireless Components and author of the report, stated “Efforts by the U.S. Government to cut off the sales of semiconductors to some commercial electronics producers in China have led to an increase in China’s efforts to develop its own, indigenous semiconductors. However, consequences will probably include lower market share and higher production costs for the U.S. semiconductor industry and U.S. allies.” Stephen Entwistle, VP of Strategic Technologies at Strategy Analytics, added “China was expected to have been the largest buyer of semiconductor production equipment in 2020 up until the imposition of semiconductor equipment restrictions by the U.S. As it stands now, China plans to put a big proportion of its Phase II investment into developing its own photolithography, etching, thin film deposition and wafer cleaning equipment.” For more on this topic, you can download a complimentary copy of the report here.
