   IC Insights survey report, although China chip production scale, including all consumption relatively small market of semiconductor in China, including increased by 32% in 2005, reaching $408 billion, for the first time become the world's largest regional IC market.

IC Insights expected in 2010 before, the Chinese IC market will grow more than three times, at an astonishing $124 billion.

China's growth in 2005 and is far more rapid than the global IC market 8% growth speed. From 2000 to 2005, the Chinese IC market has made 33 percent growth rate in the compound, and American region growth speed is 8%.

China accounted for 2005, global 1924 billion integrated circuit consumption in 2000 21%, only 6%, 2000, America semiconductor market or a Chinese scale five times. The semiconductor industry association (SIA) predicts that the asia-pacific region in 2004 to semiconductor sales will increase from 2008 to $69 percent growth rate 1504 is the highest in the world.

IC Insights says China 2005 production of integrated circuits, only 26 million us dollars, estimated in the 2010 would rise to $121 million compound annual growth rate, to 36%, it accounts for only expect the global 2010 IC yield of 4%, 319 billion Chinese IC consumption accounts for only $124 billion market scale of 10%.
