Customs data reveals strong semiconductor performance, with chip exports far outpacing overall trade growth.

In the first two months of 2025, China's integrated circuit (IC) exports reached 304.67 billion RMB, skyrocketing 68.9% year-on-year. Export volume hit 52.46 billion units, up 13.7% , demonstrating robust growth in both value and quantity.

This surge reflects the tangible results of China's semiconductor self-sufficiency push. Domestic chip competitiveness is rising, with mature process market share surpassing 45% as localization efforts accelerate.

Imports also showed strength. IC imports climbed to 550.27 billion RMB, a 36.8% increase, with import volume reaching 91.0 billion units, up 9% . The dual growth in exports and imports highlights the vibrant demand and expanding capabilities within China's semiconductor sector.

As domestic chip technology advances and policy support continues, the global chip landscape is poised for transformation.
