Abstract

​

Over the past dozen years, PwC has covered the Chinese semiconductor journey from the world’s smallest, to the largest and most influential region of worldwide semiconductor consumption. Since China has become an established player, we’re shifting our focus away from in-depth coverage on growth, and looking at other, related topics that impact both the Chinese and the larger, worldwide industry.

For our long-time readers, you will still find a selection of updated figures and tables organized in the same fashion as our previous in-depth reports so you can keep track of the major growth trends that impact the worldwide market.

While the worldwide semiconductor market grew at a 4.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over a 10-year period, China’s semiconductor consumption has grown at more than three times that rate. ​
