The impact of China on the global semiconductor industry–both as a consumer and a supplier–is massive. It demands to be analysed so that technology companies worldwide can react strategically with speed and agility.
PricewaterhouseCoopers began the study series China’s impact on the semiconductor industry in response to the rapid growth of the semiconductor industry in China. The 2008 report, our third and most comprehensive update to our original study, evaluates the current status of the semiconductor industry in China, assesses geographical and product category demand, reviews shifts in the semiconductor value chain, and analyses three different IC production growth scenarios.
More importantly, the report offers concrete recommendations technology companies can consider so they can take appropriate actions in response to China's current impact of the global semiconductor industry.
