China Power Transistor Industry Overview
The competitive rivalry in the China power transistor market is high, as the market studied is home to prominent vendors like Toshiba, Mitsubishi Electric, and Renesas, among others, that command a major market share in different segments and have access to well-established distribution networks. Owing to the electronics industry being one of the largest markets, the existence of such a high number of major vendors without compromising their market shares is sustainable. However, each vendor fiercely competes to gain a larger share of the studied market. Some of the developments adopted by these vendors include:
In Sep 2022, ROHM Semiconductor announced a partnership with Nanjing SemiDrive Technology Ltd. for advanced technology development for the automotive industry. SemiDrive's latest automotive SoCs (X9 series) has been adopted by various automakers to provide advanced functionality for cockpits and other vehicle applications.
In Sep 2022, BYD Semiconductor Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Chinese automobile manufacturer BYD announced to put an 8-inch-auto-grade chip production line with a targeted annual capacity of 500,000 auto-grade chips. It is located in Changsha, Hunan Province, with a planned total investment of 1 billion yuan (USD 144.5 million).
