China plans for 80% semiconductor self-sufficiency

Thirteen executives in the Chinese chip industry, including Yangtze Memory Technologies chairman Chen Nanxiang and Naura chairman Zhao Jinrong, have drawn up a plan to achieve 80% self-sufficiency in semiconductors by 2030.

China had around 33% self-sufficiency in 2024, so 80% by 2030 is ambitious.

An earlier plan called ‘Made in China 2025’ aimed for 70% by 2025 but fell well short.


As well as 80% self-sufficiency, the new plan has set a 2030 goal for having built and tested a 7nm production line using entirely domestically produced equipment.


Another goal is achieving stable production of 14nm ICs.

The Chinese government already requires that new fab installations contain 50% domestic equipment.

China’s share of global production capacity is projected by SEMI to grow from 25% in 2024 to 42% in 2028.
