Research institutions ICInsights said that by 2017, IC production capacity in China, 70% from international semiconductor industry, compared with 58% in 2012 increased significantly, but China's IC production but accounts for only 6% of the global market share, it also indicates that although China has become the world's largest personal electronics consumer market, it does not mean IC production capacity will be mass-produced in the territory immediately, but there are more and more international semiconductor plant began to travel to China to build production bases in the local, it is expected that 2012 ~ 2017 years, China's IC production will be a strong growth trend, the annual compound growth rate of 17.6%. ICInsights said that in recent years, SK Hynix, TSMC, Intel, Samsung began in earnest in 2012 in China's investment action, which continue to enhance Intel's 12-inch fab in Dalian. In addition, in early 2012, Samsung acquire South Korean government approved the construction of a 12 in Xi'an-inch wafer manufacturing, production, storage type flash memory, the first half of 2014 production.
