Feasibility study report on integrated circuit design services
, the market status of the integrated circuit design service industry
The integrated circuit industry is one of the basic industries of the modern information society, involving almost all major fields of the national economy, and the development direction and prosperity of the integrated circuit industry are closely related to the needs of its downstream industries. With the continuous emergence of emerging application scenarios and the development trend of differentiation and personalization of scene needs, customized chips are gradually favored by the market due to their advantages of high performance, low power consumption and low cost.
Under the above trend, it is difficult for standardized general-purpose chip products to meet the differentiated needs of scenarios, so more and more system manufacturers have begun to achieve differentiated competition by building their own chip design teams or purchasing one-stop chip services, which expands the market space for the development of integrated circuit design service enterprises.
The size of the integrated circuit design service market in Chinese mainland
After years of development, Chinese mainland has become the world's largest electronic equipment production base and the world's largest integrated circuit market. With the emergence of downstream market demand such as 5G, autonomous driving, data center, and Internet of Things and good industrial policies, Chinese mainland's integrated circuit design service industry has developed rapidly. In 2021, the market size of integrated circuit design services in Chinese mainland will be about 6.1 billion yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 26 since 20168%, the growth rate is significantly higher than the global market. With the rapid development of local chip design companies and the growth of chip customization demand of system manufacturers, it is expected that the market size of integrated circuit design services in Chinese mainland will reach 13 billion yuan by 2026.
The national policy encourages the integrated circuit design service industry
In order to further accelerate the development of the integrated circuit design industry, China has successively introduced a series of fiscal, tax, intellectual property protection and other policies, providing a favorable policy environment for integrated circuit design enterprises. In 2021, the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Application of National Intellectual Property Rights" was issued to improve high-quality creation support policies, and strengthen the creation and reserve of independent intellectual property rights in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum information, integrated circuits, and basic software. Improve laws and regulations on intellectual property rights, and improve regulations on layout design of integrated circuits. With the strong support of national policies, China's integrated circuit industry will enter a new round of accelerated growth, which also provides a favorable external environment for the chip design service industry.
Analysis of the necessity of project construction
1) The construction of the project is the need to accelerate the technological upgrading and standardization of downstream industries.
This project will develop customized chip platforms for industrial Internet and smart cities, develop IP in related application fields, increase R&D and investment in chip technology used in the field of industrial Internet and smart cities, and realize the industrialization of design services for digital-to-analog conversion chip technology, industrial Internet AP chip technology and network chip technology.
Guided by the industrial Internet technology system, with network, platform and security as the core, the platform will closely combine the major needs of the development of the industrial Internet, and will promote the research and development of new industrial networks, industrial big data, edge computing, security and other technologies and platform standardization.
2) The construction of the project is the need to improve the competitiveness of enterprises.
In recent years, under the influence of factors such as the maintenance of high downstream demand, strong support of industrial policies, and continuous increase in industrial capital investment, China has become one of the regions with the fastest growth rate in the global integrated circuit market. The support of industrial funds and policies, as well as the return of talents, have prompted the rapid increase in the number of domestic chip design companies. Since 2016, the number of chip design companies in China has increased significantly, from 736 in 2015 to 3,243 in 2022, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 240%。The growth of the number of chip design companies and the intensification of market competition have led to an increasing demand for design services in the market.
At the same time, with the gradual evolution of the process, factors such as the increasing difficulty of chip design, the rising cost of sample tape-out, and the longer design cycle have led to the continuous increase in chip development costs, which has greatly increased the design risk and cost of chip design companies. In the process of product design and development, chip design companies need to continuously improve the success rate of product tape-out under the condition of ensuring product functional integrity, delivery time, performance requirements, etc., which puts forward higher requirements for their chip design capabilities, product realization capabilities, system evaluation and optimization capabilities, and design and manufacturing process collaboration capabilities.
The construction of the project will strengthen the professional one-stop chip service for the enterprise, improve the comprehensive ability of the enterprise, so as to effectively cope with the fierce market competition and high design risk, and enhance its own competitiveness.
3) The construction of the project is the need to promote local economic development.
After the completion of the project, it will increase the local tax revenue, directly increase the number of jobs, and radiate the demand for employment.
