Development foundation:

Xiamen is home to more than 200 integrated circuit (IC) enterprises which form an industrial chain covering IC design, manufacturing, testing, equipment and materials as well as applications. Xiamen's IC industry reached an output value of 41.7 billion yuan ($6.11 billion) in 2018. Three IC clusters were formed – the Torch High-tech Industrial Zone, Haicang district and Huli area of Xiamen Free Trade Zone. The city also has three platforms - Xiamen IC Design Public Service Platform, National IC Industrialization Base EDA Platform and Xiamen IC R&D, Design and Test Center.

Representative enterprises include IC enterprises such as United Semi, Xiamen Sanan Integrated Circuit, Silan, Tongfu Microelectronics, JSX Electronic Technology and Unisoc, and LED enterprises such as San'an Optoelectronics, Changelight, Kaistar Lighting, Qiangli Jucai Opto-Electronic Technology and Leedarson Lighting.

Development priorities:

·Integrated circuit design, packaging, testing, advanced packaging board manufacturing.

·Characteristic process manufacturing for the internet of things, intelligent terminals, automotive electronics, smart power grids, industrial controls and other application fields.
