Liu Hong: Increase the use of domestic chips and expand market share

From October 15 to 16, 2021, the "2021 China Automotive Supply Chain Conference" jointly sponsored by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the Chongqing Liangjiang New Area Management Committee was held in Chongqing, and Changan Automobile and Horizon fully supported the conference as official partners. The theme of this year's Supply Chain Conference is "Making Up for Shortcomings, Building a New Ecology of China's Automotive Supply Chain", jointly discussing industrial policies, exchanging and sharing technologies, judging industrial trends, and displaying innovative achievements, aiming to promote domestic and international interaction in the industry, unite the industrial chain from top to bottom, and seek a common road for coordinated industrial development.

Among them, at the theme forum of "New Progress in Automotive 'Chip Freedom'" held on the morning of October 16, Liu Hong, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, delivered a wonderful speech.

Liu Hong said that China's automotive semiconductor industry is still relatively weak, in the control of chips and other aspects of domestic enterprises involved in late, on the basis of meeting the application conditions of the automotive industry is willing to use domestic chips, we should open up the application breakpoint, break through the difficulty of collaboration, and gradually increase the use of domestic chips, expand the share.

Last year, China's annual automobile production and sales were generally stable, basically eliminating the impact of the epidemic, and the automotive industry as a whole showed strong development tenacity and endogenous power. The annual automobile production and sales have completed 25.225 million units and 25.311 million vehicles, production and sales have ranked first in the world for 12 consecutive years, the market continues to grow broadly, the value of semiconductors in each car has increased from 300 US dollars in 2010 to 475 US dollars in 2020, and it is expected to reach 600 US dollars by 2030. From the perspective of industrial development and trend, the development of automobile electrification and intelligent networking will inevitably bring great opportunities to automotive chips, and also bring huge growth to the demand for automotive chips, and I hope that colleagues in the chip industry will give the automotive industry more attention and attention.

Liu Hong pointed out that the shortage of automotive chips is a global problem, how to base on the current long-term is the key, the current two industries have a lot of difficulties, there are opportunities for development, the development of the chip industry supports the automotive industry industry innovation, the wave of the automotive industry to promote the technology upgrading of the semiconductor industry, the application and development of intelligent networking, new energy and other technologies to transmit the market for the new demand for the automotive semiconductor industry chain, the automotive industry and the semiconductor industry to form a high degree of interaction, mutual industrial transformation and upgrading of the booster, The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers is willing to work with colleagues from all walks of life to jointly promote the deepening integration and coordinated development of the automobile and semiconductor industries.

At present, the First Equipment Department of the Electronics Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is giving strong support to the automobile industry in multi-party coordination to alleviate the current problems of prominent contradictions between supply and demand. Liu Hong said that the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers is also carrying out special research on automotive chips, submitting industry information to the competent authorities to make relevant suggestions, and actively coordinating the maximum support of major suppliers for the automotive industry.

At present, China's automotive semiconductor industry is still relatively weak, in the control of chips and other aspects of domestic enterprises involved in late, on the basis of meeting the application conditions of the automotive industry is willing to use domestic chips, Liu Hong believes that we should open up the application breakpoint, break through the coordination difficulties, and gradually increase the use of domestic chips, expand the share.

Liu Hong said that he believes that under the guidance of the market authorities and the synergy of the chip industry in the automotive industry, the realization of China's automotive chip freedom is just around the corner, and the future can be expected.
