First, the development of China's integrated circuit (IC) design industry Decade Review

Over the last decade, the State Council issued a number of policy "to encourage the development of software and IC industries" (hereinafter referred to Guo Fa [2000] No. 18) carry out the implementation of the decade. Over the past decade, China's IC design industry in the text inspired by the spirit of the 18th, relying they create from the the unprecedented policy environment, and unique IC application market, the introduction of nurturing and growing a large number of foreign investment, returnees, state-owned and private the advantages of various forms of ownership and the backbone of IC design enterprises in the industrial scale, product innovation, and technical level has made considerable progress, to become adjust and optimize the structure of China's IC industry, changes in the way of industrial development, driven by a positive force to show the world that its development of a new image and uplifting spiritual outlook.

(A) the characteristics of industrial development

Table 1 shows the 2001-2011 period, the world and the development of China's IC design industry (Fablees) with the status quo. Strong evidence the world Fablesss mode with strong sustainable growth, vitality and competitiveness.

Among them, the between 2001-2006 2011 world Fabless view, its market size from $ 18.9 billion in 2001, accounting for 12.3% of the global IC industry sales; development to $ 64.89 billion in 2011, accounting for sales of the global IC industry 21.7% of the global IC market position improved by 9.4 percentage points. Period, the average annual growth rate remains the development of double-digit growth of 12.8%; over the same period, the global semiconductor industry has entered a single-digit drifting slow stage, only 5.1%. In contrast, the world the Fabless above the 7.7 percent average annual growth rate of the global semiconductor industry.

In addition, the development of China's IC design industry point of view, but also highlights the following two characteristics:

1. China's IC design industry growth rate is better than the world Fabless industry

In 2001-2011, the average annual growth rate of China's IC design industry up to 52.3%, compared to 12.8% of the world's Fabless, 39.5 percentage points higher.

In addition, the average annual growth rate of China's IC design industry corresponds to the growth of China's IC industry, 28.1 percent higher; corresponding to the global semiconductor industry compared to the average annual growth rate of the world Fabless, only 7.7 percentage points higher than highlights China's IC design industry vigorous development vitality.

2. The increased dramatically status of China's IC design industry in the global Fabless industry

As shown in Table 1, 2001-2011, China's IC design industry accounted for the proportion of the world, China Taiwan Fabless from 1% in 2001, 4.9% developed to 16.8% in 2011, 83.8% each to enhance the 15.8,78.9%;'s position in the global industry has been greatly improve, has become the third largest in the world outside of the United States, China Taiwan Fabless base.
