China's semiconductor industry is rapidly catching up. There are three key factors behind its ultra-high-speed growth. China's semiconductor industry has achieved remarkable growth over the past decade, with its market size increasing from 65.4 billion yuan in 2012 to 359.9 billion yuan in 2021, at a compound annual growth rate of 17.5 percent. The growth rate far exceeds the global average of 7.4 percent during the same period. The domestic semiconductor industry has also made significant progress in technology development. In 2020, China's 28nm process technology, which is considered a mid-to-high-end level, reached mass production. The country's chip design sector has also seen rapid growth, with the number of design companies increasing from 542 in 2012 to 2,218 in 2021. China's semiconductor industry has grown rapidly due to three major factors. First, the Chinese government has provided strong policy support. Since 2014, China has launched a series of policies to support the development of the semiconductor industry. These include the "Made in China 2025" plan, the "Semiconductor Industry Development Plan (2014-2020)", and the "Special Fund for the Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry". These policies have provided significant financial support, with the total investment estimated to be over 300 billion yuan. Second, China has made significant investments in research and development. In 2020, China's semiconductor industry invested 17.5 billion yuan in research and development, accounting for 5.5 percent of its sales revenue. This is significantly higher than the global average of 2.5 percent. Third, China's semiconductor industry has a large and growing market. China is the world's largest consumer of semiconductors, accounting for over 30 percent of global demand. This has provided a huge market for domestic semiconductor companies to grow and develop. China's rapid growth in the semiconductor industry has significant implications for the global industry. It is expected that China's semiconductor market will continue to grow rapidly, driven by the increasing demand for chips in 5G, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. However, the industry also faces challenges, including a shortage of talent and a lack of core technologies. Despite these challenges, China's semiconductor industry is expected to continue to grow rapidly, driven by strong policy support, significant investments in research and development, and a large and growing market.
중국 반도체 산업은 미국 제재와 견제를 받던 과거와 달리, 현재는 AI 칩과 메모리 반도체 분야 등에서 두드러진 성과를 내고 있다. 국내 반도체 생산 능력의 확장과 활용이 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 글로벌 주도권을 주는 기존 메모리 회사들의 생산 역량도 빠륫하게 확대되고 있다. 특히, 창신메모리의 디램 생산 능력은 지난해 20만장에서 올해 29만 5천장으로 47.5% 증가했으며, 연간 생산 능력은 300만장에서 내년에는 360만장으로 확대될 것으로 전망된다. 또한, 창신메모리는 10나노급 공정 비중을 늘리며 성능과 전력 효율을 향상시키고 있으나, 기존 한국 기업과의 격차는 여전히 존재한다. 한편, 한국 기업들인 삼성전자와 에스케이하이닉스는 이미 고대역폭메모리 7세대(HBM4E) 샘플을 고객사에 공급하고 있으며, 낸드플래시 분야에서는 하이닉스가 국내 생산 능력의 50% 수준으로 321단 낸드 제품 생산 비중을 확대할 계획이다.
