2.3 The situation of the industry
(1). The development stage, basic characteristics and main technical thresholds of the industry
From a macro perspective, the global economy is characterized by "weak recovery and high differentiation", and the energy crisis caused by local geopolitical conflicts and the impact of currency fluctuations and other factors have led to insufficient global consumption momentum, with global GDP growth of about 3.2% in 2024. However, as inflationary pressures ease, central banks cut interest rates and implement loose monetary policies, the economy began to pick up.
In the past few quarters, there has been an inventory backlog of integrated circuit products, especially overseas automotive chips are still in the stage of inventory destocking, and the overall chips
The market remains challenging. According to IBS statistics for February 2025, the global semiconductor market sales in 2024 will be about $622 billion.
This represents a year-over-year increase of 22.4%.
The wafer foundry industry originates from the specialized division of labor in the semiconductor industry chain, and wafer foundry enterprises do not cover the chip design process, but are specifically responsible for wafer manufacturing and provide wafer foundry services for chip product companies. The wafer foundry industry is a technology, capital, and talent-intensive industry, which requires a large amount of capital expenditure and talent investment, and has high barriers to entry.
The wafer foundry industry in Chinese mainland started late, but with the support of national policies, with the development of the domestic economy and the improvement of science and technology, as well as the expansion of the terminal application market, the demand for wafer foundry services by domestic chip design companies is increasing, and the wafer foundry industry in Chinese mainland has achieved rapid development.
With the continuous emergence of new requirements in downstream application scenarios, the variety of semiconductor products continues to increase. In order to meet the market's demand for differentiated product functions, performance and other characteristics, IDM manufacturers and wafer foundries and other enterprises involved in the wafer manufacturing process continue to develop and innovate wafer manufacturing process technology, and evolve to form a differentiated manufacturing process. The wafer manufacturing process can be roughly divided into advanced logic process and characteristic process.
Unlike the advanced logic process, which continuously pursues transistor shrinkage along Moore's Law, the characteristic process does not completely pursue the shrinkage of the device, but continuously optimizes the device structure and manufacturing process to maximize the physical characteristics of different devices to improve product performance and reliability. The characteristic process is mainly used in the manufacture of power devices, MCUs, smart card chips, power management chips, RF chips, sensors, etc., which are widely used in automotive electronics, industrial intelligent manufacturing, communications, Internet of Things, new energy, consumer electronics and many other application fields.
(2). Analysis of the company's position in the industry and its changes
Huahong is one of the world's leading integrated circuit wafer foundry enterprises and a leader in the integrated circuit manufacturing industry in Chinese mainland, with industry-leading process manufacturing capabilities, production capacity advantages and service support. According to the latest sales in 2024 announced by global pure-play foundry companies, Huahong still ranks fifth in the world and second among Chinese mainland enterprises.
In 2025, with the full operation of Huahong's manufacturing production line and the ramp-up of production capacity, the company will deploy more advanced "characteristic IC + power devices" processes to "8-inch + 12-inch" production platforms. At the same time, the company focuses on promoting the construction of domestic industrial ecology and the implementation of the "Chinafor China" strategy with overseas customers, which will also help the development and mass production of the company's new business and new product platforms.
(3) The development and future development trend of new technologies, new industries, new forms of business and new models during the reporting period
(1) The development of new technologies in the semiconductor wafer foundry industry
Market development trends such as informatization, digitalization, intelligence, and networking have driven the continuous iteration and innovation of global semiconductor technology, and have also put forward higher technical requirements for other integrated circuits and semiconductor device types in addition to logic circuits.
(2) The development of the semiconductor wafer foundry industry in new industries
With the vigorous development of emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, industrial intelligent manufacturing, communications, Internet of Things, and new energy, chips, as the core components of intelligent hardware, are almost ubiquitous and play an important role in the birth and development of new industries. At the same time, the development of new industries will continue to put forward new requirements for the performance, power consumption, and size of chips, promote breakthroughs in wafer manufacturing technology and enrich process platforms, and bring new opportunities to the semiconductor wafer foundry industry.
(3) The development of the semiconductor industry in new formats and models
In the early stage of the development of the semiconductor midstream industry, due to the fact that the relevant technologies were mastered by a few large international enterprises, and the equipment, materials, and process technologies required for production were highly specialized, the enterprises in the industry mainly adopted the vertical integration model (IDM model). With the expansion of industrial scale, technological progress and the rise of market diversification, the midstream of semiconductors has gradually been limited to design, manufacturing, packaging and testing
The IDM model completed by the integration within the company has evolved into a number of professional subdivisions, and the industry has begun to show a vertical division of labor pattern. 3. The company's main accounting data and financial indicators
