Shenzhen IC Design Enterprise Accelerates Landing on Growth Enterprise Market

Under the “warm wind” policy of the country and Shenzhen pushing the development of emerging industries, the Shenzhen IC design industry has become the most powerful emerging industry segment with a strong momentum of development. It is expected to form a new “listing camp” on the Growth Enterprise Market. This reporter learned from the Shenzhen IC base and related companies yesterday.

According to reports, following the national technology, Netac boarded the GEM, Shenzhen Chipbon, Ming Wei will also be listed in the near future, Chang Yuntong, Aike innovation and a group of local IC design cutting-edge companies are also accelerating the share reform, and actively preparing for landing venture board.

Last year's sales of nearly 10 billion recent statistics show that in 2010 Shenzhen's high-tech industry continued to maintain rapid growth, and the output value of high-tech products reached 913.2 billion yuan, of which, the electronic information (IT) industry realized an output value of approximately 807.05 billion yuan. Absolute main force. The IT industry in Shenzhen has developed rapidly and has become a pillar industry in Shenzhen's economy. Behind this, the ICs (chips, integrated circuits) required for each IT product can be described as the core of the soul and technology. The rapid development of IC design at the forefront of the entire high-tech industry chain is an important “propeller” for the rapid development of Shenzhen IT industry.

Zhou Shengming, the director of the Shenzhen IC Base, said that according to incomplete statistics, China's IC design industry achieved sales of approximately RMB 55 billion in 2010 and maintained a CAGR of nearly 45% in the past ten years, showing strong growth. This data means that Shenzhen's IC design industry scale, with Beijing and Shanghai, shoulders the top three positions.

A number of companies are planning to land on the GEM board and the local machine system companies to "take off together". This is an important reason for the rapid rise of many IC design companies in Shenzhen. It is reported that in recent years, a large number of machine or equipment manufacturers including Huawei, ZTE, Konka, Skyworth, and BYD have been intensively clustering in Shenzhen. This has created a huge amount of consumption and demand for IC design. Under the strong background of the development of the emerging industries such as the country and Shenzhen, IC design in Shenzhen, while the scale of the industry has been continuously expanding, many cutting-edge companies are rapidly giving birth.

The reporter was informed that as of 2010, the total number of IC design enterprises in Shenzhen has reached 135, and the number of professional employees has exceeded 10,000. Among the IC design companies with the largest sales volume in the country, Shenzhen Hass, China Microelectronics, and National Technology rank among the top ten. Among them, Hass, the Huawei background, has ranked first in sales rankings for many years in a row. With the explosive growth in online banking, the national technology that specializes in the development and supply of U-disk security chips has successfully climbed the GEM last year and became the most popular. A high-tech company that has attracted attention.

"A large number of IC design companies are promoting and bringing together in Shenzhen, and are pushing for the emergence of a strong GEM listing camp." According to Zhou Shengming, after Netac and National Technology successively landed on the GEM, they recently focused on flash memory control and digital display. Shenzhen-based design companies Chipbond and Mingwei, which are driving the chip and becoming industry leaders, will also be listed soon. The batch of chip design leaders such as Chang Yuntong, Aike Innovation, Anfu, Tianli, Lihe Micro, and China Microelectronics also accelerated their share reforms and aimed at listing.

Strong momentum for subsequent development "After the financial crisis, Shenzhen's advantages and attractiveness have become even more apparent. It has become one of the first choice cities for IC design companies to start up and develop at home and abroad." Zhao Qiuji, Minister of Technology, Shenzhen Integrated Circuit Design Industrialization Base Management Center, According to a recent industry analysis report.

IT industry is a pillar industry in Shenzhen, IC is the core technology of IT products, and IC design is the leading factor in IC industry chain. Zhao Qiqi believes that early this year, the State Council emphasized that the software and IC industry is a national strategic emerging industry, and introduced policies encouraging the development of the software industry and integrated circuit industry, and will certainly give Shenzhen IC industry, especially IC design industry, a strong driving force for development.

Experts have suggested that Shenzhen will implement Shenzhen's IC design industry and promote the IT industry to become stronger.
