The Federation of Korean Industrie said in a report on the 25th that the share of Korean semiconductor companies in the world’s largest semiconductor market-ChinaThe decline began after the U.S. began restricting its semiconductor supply in 2019.
According to BusinessKorea, the report said that memory chips account for the largest share of Korean companies’ products, and as supply is constrained, China has begun to increase imports of non-memory chips,Reduce imports of memory chips.
In 2021, China’s semiconductor imports will increase by no less than 37.2% year-on-year.South Korea’s growth rate was only 6.5%.At the same time, the market share of South Korean companies in mainland China will drop from 24.7% in 2018 to 20% in 2021. 19.2%.
The Korea Semiconductor Industry Federation explained: “Because of the restrictions,Huawei stops buying South Korean memory chips, which is related to changes in market share. In addition, the price of memory chips fell last year, and China’s imports of memory chips made in South Korea fell by 13.7% compared with 2018. “
According to the report, “The Korean government’s subsidies to semiconductor companies are far lower than those in other regions.” For example, the sales subsidy ratios of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix (as of June this year) are respectivelyOnly 0.8% and 0.5%. This compares to 6.6% for SMIC, 5% for Hua Hong Group, 4% for Tsinghua Unigroup, 3.8% for Micron Technology, 3% for TSMC and Qualcomm, and 2.2% for Intel.
