 Market Avenue 2008 Report on China's IC Design Market

Description

The global semiconductor market is most likely to see the first negative growth in eight years in 2009, as the global
financial crisis is delivering a serious influence on the tangible economy worldwide. The negative influence of the financial
crisis on the China IC industry will further emerge, while the IC product export will come under an even larger pressure.
However, the exchange rate between Renminbi and the US dollar has become stable at the level of 6.8:1, indicating the
influence of the exchange rate fluctuation on the China IC industry will be greatly alleviated in 2009. Overall, the sales
growth of the China IC industry is expected to further decline from 2008 to an estimated -2.2% in 2009. However, judging
from the medium- and long-term trend, the China IC industry will start another growth cycle in 2010 as the domestic and
overseas markets pick up.

Though the overall IC market climate in China will not change much for the better in 2009, the China IC design industry
will embrace a better overall situation in 2009 than in 2008, driven by a series of favorable market factors, including the
formal start of the extensive 3G communication network construction, and the launch of the campaign of home appliances
going to the countryside. The IC design industry is expected to grow faster than 2008. Judging from the medium- and
long-term trend, the IC design industry will without doubt represent the fastest-growing area in the overall China IC
industry.

Judging from the composition of the mainstream products of the Chinese IC design enterprises, the consumer electronics
ICs are expected to remain the major product area, but its proportion in the product mix of the China IC design industry will
decline step by step. In contrast, the network communication sector will become the fastest-growing area and the principal
powerhouse for the China IC design industry. At the same time, the market demand for intelligent card chips will
somewhat recover. In addition, industrial electronics, automotive electronics and other application markets will become
the new growth areas for the China IC design industry.

On the side of product mix, communication ASIC chips will represent the fastest-growing product area in the China IC
design industry, as driven by the swift development of the wireless communication market. Moreover, ASSP chips and
power management chips will become two fast-growing product areas as Chinese IC design firms are building up their
competitive strengths. In contrast, influenced by the market saturation and the increasingly fierce price battle, growths of
MCUs, digital AV decoding chips and IC card chips are forecasted to slow down.
