The Trend of IC Boom Stimulates External Demand Rather Than Domestic Demand

China has become the points of battle for worldwide sensor enterprises. If China companies don't establish own core technology system, there will be not only profit lost but industry security.

There are many sensor corporations in Shenzhen and most of them are pure-play foundries or agents. At present, 80% sensors used in China are imported. In general, China enterprises in sensor field are relatively weak for very rare can research and develop high sensitivity and reliability sensors. As a result, the trend of the Internet of things industry will stimulate external demand instead of domestic demand.

Currently, from the point of practical application, external manufacturers possess an apparent advantage over domestic. First, over 80% chips of new generation sensors are imported and most of their core potions are dominated by foreign chip manufacturers. Secondly, energy conservation is the crucial technology for sensor. Our design standard for sensor batteries lifespan is 30 years. Japanese sensor batteries can last 15-20 years, while domestic products can only work less than 10 years. Thirdly, future sensors are supposed to develop into smaller in seize and more smart which rely more on chip material and technology.

The Internet of things is just beginning to develop and need more time to cultivate and consummate. Now many assembly plants emerge by the choice of market which helps to lower the price of imported products and optimize the market structure. "But it will make domestic companies get used to depend on import," said Wand Wenxiang.

The investigation shows that many foreign countries are fighting the chip market in China. If China looses the market, the chip industry will be in difficulty. Wang suggested that government should support and guide the chip industry from the angle of industry security by policy and position it in the world market. The related integrated circuit is TOP242Y.
