It is reported that in terms of product supply, the "Handbook" includes 568 products from 59 domestic semiconductor companies, covering computing semiconductors, control semiconductors, power semiconductors, communication semiconductors, sensing semiconductors, information security semiconductors, power semiconductors,
There are 10 major categories of products such as driving semiconductors, storage semiconductors, and analog semiconductors, involving a total of 53 sub-categories. In terms of product demand, the manual includes 1,000 product demand information from 26 domestic automobile and parts companies, from 14 vehicle groups and 12 auto parts companies. All parties in the industry generally said that the release of the "Manual" has promoted the docking and exchange between chip companies and automobile companies, further dredged the supply and demand information channels of automobile chips, and built a valuable platform for exchanges and cooperation between supply and demand sides.
Technology empowers the industry, efficient and high-speed supply and demand cooperation
It is worth noting that in order to further promote the upstream and downstream collaboration of the automotive semiconductor industry chain, at the same time as the release of the "Manual", the China Automotive Chip Alliance continued to exert its technical and resource advantages, based on the research work on the supply and demand of automotive semiconductors, and combined with the opinions and suggestions of nearly 120 industrial chain semiconductor companies, automotive companies and parts manufacturers around the automotive industry and the semiconductor industry in the research process, and united with the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, the China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute and other units. Jointly built the first vehicle-grade semiconductor supply and demand inquiry platform in China, including the computer terminal and the mobile phone mini program terminal, to provide diversified and convenient query services for registered users of the platform.
Yuan Chengyin, secretary general of the China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance, said that as a strong support for the industry to connect upstream and downstream, the vehicle-grade semiconductor supply and demand inquiry platform relies on research data to open a comprehensive platform for users to integrate information release, online editing, product release, information retrieval and other functions, which is convenient for online information interaction and docking exchange of automotive enterprises and semiconductor enterprises, which can realize the rapid update of the "Manual", promote the rapid docking of the chip supply side and the automobile demand side, and respond to changes in the automotive chip market in a timely manner. Promote the rapid development of the automotive chip industry.
It is reported that the vehicle-grade semiconductor supply and demand inquiry platform has officially launched the internal test of user registration in early December last year, and was officially launched on the occasion of the first anniversary of the release of the "Automotive Semiconductor Supply and Demand Docking Manual" on February 26, 2022, and more than 70 member units of the alliance have completed user registration, including China FAW, Dongfeng Motor, Chongqing Changan, BYD Automobile, Yutong Bus, China National Heavy Duty Truck, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Dongfeng Liuzhou and other vehicle companies, as well as Bosch, Ningde Times, Weichai Power, Jingjin Electric, Nexteer, Botai Auto Union, SAIC Transmission, SAIC Electric Drive, Nasen, Ruixin, Broadcom Integration, Wanan, Etek, Lianchuang, Luchuan, Norbo, Dechuang Future and other parts and components enterprises; the suppliers include Horizon, Black Sesame, Tsinghua Guowei, Ziguang Tongxin, Gigabyte Innovation, Beijing Junzheng, NavInfo Technology, Xinchi, Century Jinguang, HiSilicon, Howeve, Wanxin, Quanzhi, Fuhan, Xinlite, Silicon Jie, Yangtze River Storage, Tyco Tianrun, Zhanxin, Nuruixin, IntiXin, Fudan Microelectronics, Mattel, Shengbang, Silan, Gaoyun, Xinti and other chip companies.
Multiple Parallel Achievements Are Remarkable The development of the industry has a long way to go
"Although the mainland automotive chip industry has achieved rapid development in recent years under the efforts of many parties, the scale of the domestic automotive chip industry is still far below the scale demand and global proportion of the mainland automobile industry, and there is still a long way to go from the goal of 'China's chip self-sufficiency rate reaching 70% in 2025' proposed by the State Council," said Dong Yang, co-chairman of the China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance.
It is reported that the China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance with the operating concept of "cross-border integration, symbiosis and win-win, industrial chain, and ecological alliance" as its operating philosophy, after completing the domestic automotive chip product supply and demand survey, releasing the first "Automotive Semiconductor Supply and Demand Docking Manual" and building a vehicle-grade semiconductor supply and demand inquiry platform, it also pioneered the automotive chip insurance protection program, and promoted chip companies, parts companies and insurance companies to carry out pilot work on automotive chip insurance and premium subsidies. Use financial and insurance means to share the upstream and downstream risks of the industrial chain and dredge bottlenecks.
Leading the innovation and development of the automotive chip industry with standardization, the China Automotive Chip Alliance has organized a total of 56 units in the chip industry and the automotive industry, according to the actual needs of the industry and the needs of technical research, to build an automotive chip standard system for domestic chips, and to carry out research and development of standards in application scenarios, environmental conditions, product performance, test methods, test evaluation and other aspects.
At the same time, the alliance held the first China Automotive Chip Application Innovation Rally, using the independent proposition of domestic automotive chip companies and convening the innovation team to carry out automotive electronic design around domestic automotive chips as the core way to participate in the competition, providing the best stage for excellent domestic automotive chips and excellent design teams to show their capabilities.
