In terms of product structure, the market share of memory reached 21.3% in 2011, almost 3% down from 2010, The loss was attributable to the following two reasons. First, the mainstream PC DRAM products suffered a 50% fall in their prices in 2011. Second, the bankruptcy of Japan's Elpida caused a new round of integration and merger and further enhanced the giant players’ monopoly power in the memory market. In contrast to the DRAM products, the NAND Flash products, driven by the popularization of smart phone, Pad and MID, witnessed a soaring growth in their sales volume. Under such circumstances, the memory market decreased by 3.1% in 2011 year-on-year. Besides, the market share of ASSPs increased, while CPU’s output experienced a fast growth, owing largely to the rapid increase in China's laptop output in 2011.

As for brands, Intel was still the top brand in China's IC market. Hynix Semiconductor, stuck to the third place, experienced a 12% decrease in its market size growth due to the price falls of memory products. Renesas, whose MCU production for automotive electronics was affected by the East Japan earthquake, saw a 2.8% decrease in its growth rate. Qualcomm was ranked among the top ten in China's IC market with a growth rate of over 30%, thanks to the rising popularity of its mobile terminal products.

Development trends of China's IC market
In the future, China's IC market is expected to maintain a grow rate of 9%, mainly driven by the development of electronic products like PC, mobile phone and LCD TV. In addition, the development of emerging sectors such as Internet of things, cloud computing, new energy, semiconductor lighting, medical electronics and security electronics will provide new momentum for China's IC market.
In terms of technology, the 22nm chip is supposed to begin commercial sale next year, while the R&D of 14nm chips has already commenced. The processors will largely adopt the multi-core architecture, and new 22nm processor products will emerge. The memory products will also see smaller dimensions and more advanced packaging.
