With over 100 billion RMB of investment, Beijing's integrated circuit industry is sprinting towards high growth

Beijing is the birthplace of my country's integrated circuit design industry. It has long been the leader of China's integrated circuit design industry and one of the seven national integrated circuit design industrialization bases first recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology. It has a glorious history. However, in the past decade, the development of Beijing's integrated circuit design industry has shown a lack of growth.

At the third "Core Power Beijing" Zhongguancun IC Industry Forum Summit held today, the development of Beijing's integrated circuit industry was further interpreted.

It is reported that during the period of 2010-2018, the sales of integrated circuit design industry in Beijing increased from 11.5 billion yuan to 55 billion yuan, an increase of 4.8 times, with an average annual compound growth rate of 21.6%. Compared with the compound growth rate of 21% of the national chip design industry during the same period, it is only 0.6 percentage points higher, which is not commensurate with Beijing's status, nor is it proportional to the central government funding received by the local capital.

In 2010 and 2012, Beijing's integrated circuit design industry ranked first, but was overtaken by Shanghai and Shenzhen in 2013, with the gap widening to more than 4.5 billion yuan. Although it overtook Shanghai in 2018, the gap between Beijing and Shenzhen has increased from more than 5 billion yuan in 2013 to more than 20.8 billion yuan in 2018.

Of course, this also shows that Beijing still has a lot of room for development in the integrated circuit design industry.

It is reported that in the past five years, relevant departments in Beijing have invested a total of about 3.2 billion yuan in financial support; invested more than 30 billion yuan in industrial funds and projects through investment platforms such as Yizhuang State Investment and Zhongguancun Development Group; and driven the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund and other social funds to invest more than 100 billion yuan in Beijing projects.

With the promotion of various parties, Beijing has become a pillar force supporting the innovative development of my country's integrated circuit industry.

In addition, in 2018, Beijing's integrated circuit industry achieved sales revenue of about 96.89 billion yuan, ranking third in the country, an increase of about 8.2% over 2017. Among them, the design industry achieved sales of about 65.72 billion yuan, an increase of about 2.3% year-on-year; the manufacturing industry ushered in rapid growth, achieving sales of about 11.82 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 44.2%; the packaging and testing industry achieved revenue of 10.54 billion yuan, an increase of 7.2%; the equipment and materials industry achieved sales of 8.81 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.6%.
