China total IC and IC design output value, 2010-2015 (US$b)

China has been solidifying its semiconductor industry policy objectives through the release of the "National IC Industry Development Guidelines" in June 2014 and "Made in China 2025" in June 2015, with one key financial support program being the National IC Industry Investment Fund (Big Fund), which will be used to help finance production capacity in advanced process technologies, while also giving China IC vendors the opportunity to acquire global vendors. This report analyzes how the Big Fund can affect the China and global semiconductor industry moving forward.
