Himfr.com reports China's industrial electronics market performance varies in 2009
According to iSuppli Corporation, while China's industrial electronic equipment industry difficult to shake off the impact of the global economic recession, but because of the industry served by a wide variety of applications is expected in 2009 will continue to maintain overall growth.
iSuppli forecasts that China's industry in 2009 the overall turnover of the electronic equipment market will reach 40.9 billion U.S. dollars, compared with 2008 growth of 8.9%. The growth rate lower than in 2008, highlighted the negative impact of a global recession.
For the 2009 China's industrial electronics market in most areas, the only annual growth rate will be lower than in 2008. However, in 2009, semiconductor manufacturing equipment sub-sector's turnover will be further decreased compared with 2008.
Security equipment, general industrial equipment in 2008 accounted for 46.7% of turnover, is China's industrial electronic equipment industry, the largest area is expected to grow 10.2% this year to 193 billion U.S. dollars. In this area is to promote the growth of China's industrial electronics market is one of the most important force.
From 2007 to 2013, industrial electronic equipment in various fields will have different performance.
The greatest extent will be the slowdown in manufacturing automation. Although the Chinese factories manufacturing system to upgrade the desire ignited in 2006 and 2007, the manufacturing automation market, but the recent global financial crisis extinguished by the plant to purchase new equipment enthusiasm. This led to manufacturing automation market, the turnover growth rate in 2008 dropped to 13.9%, less than in 2007 when 28.9%. By 2011, annual growth rate will slow to 8.4%.
The overall situation and industrial electronic equipment, and other components sub-sectors compared to the impact of economic downturn for the semiconductor market, some more serious. industrial electronics, iSuppli China's semiconductor market, the most pessimistic forecasts had thought that the market in 2009 spending will be reduced to about 25 billion U.S. dollars in 2008 fell 9.9%. But given the Chinese government a strong regulatory capacity, the market situation may not be bad as initially feared.
Overall semiconductor sales decline is not only a result of declining demand, but also the results of selling prices. With DSP and the MCU-based micro-controller components market in 2009 will fall to 83 million U.S. dollars, down 11% compared with 2008.
Microchip and Atmel major supplier of industrial electronics MCU will face severe challenges in the future. But the challenge is not no chance. From the value point of view, the local Chinese industrial electronic equipment manufacturers of semiconductor consumption is less than its foreign counterparts because the former tend to use cheaper and less complex semiconductors.
However, despite the local Chinese manufacturers of semiconductor consumption in China now than multinational companies operating in relatively small, but with the number and size of domestic enterprises, the continued expansion of local manufacturers of semiconductor consumption grew steadily.
