China Discrete Semiconductors Market Size (2024 - 2029)

China Discrete Semiconductors Market Analysis

The China Discrete Semiconductors Market size is estimated at USD 12.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 17.45 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.61% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The Chinese discrete semiconductor market is witnessing substantial growth, propelled by the country's expanding industrial landscape and a strategic pivot toward automation to boost ROI (return on investment). China boasts the largest manufacturing industry globally, contributing significantly to market demand. Manufacturing companies in China prioritize adopting 4.0 solutions to optimize operations, propelling market expansion.
• China has emerged as a prominent player in the global implementation of 5G technology. The MIIT projected that China would reach 592.01 million 5G users by February 2023, with expectations of surpassing 1 billion users by 2025. Significant efforts are underway to enhance the necessary infrastructure to support this advancement. For instance, as of October 2023, China had approximately 3.22 million 5G base stations, representing 28.1% of all cellular base stations. With 5G rapidly establishing itself as a crucial component of the communication sector, facilitating data transfer among various elements of the manufacturing ecosystem, these developments are poised to drive growth in the market within the country.
• Rising expenditures on developing data centers in the country may increase the demand for more electrical components, which is likely to boost the demand for discrete semiconductors in China during the forecast period. For instance, CloudScene highlighted China's significance in the Asia-Pacific data center landscape in September 2023. China boasted 448 data centers, the highest in the region. Globally, China secured the fourth spot in total data center count that month.
• Silicon carbide, gallium nitride, and other materials are used to manufacture discrete semiconductors. However, these raw materials are linked to high expenses, a significant market expansion obstacle. As a result, the elevated costs of raw materials necessary for producing discrete semiconductors are impeding the market's growth.
• Macroeconomic factors like China's economic growth directly affect industrial output and semiconductor demand. A slowdown may reduce investment and consumer spending, impacting semiconductor demand. International trade policies, tariffs, and sanctions impact the import and export of semiconductors and raw materials, affecting supply chain and market dynamics.

China Discrete Semiconductors Industry Segmentation

Discrete semiconductors are individual devices housed in their package, distinct from other components. In contrast to integrated circuits (ICs), which may house thousands, even billions, of transistors in a single package, discrete semiconductors are limited to performing a single, specific function.
