China analog chipmakers raise prices as broader semiconductor price hikes spread
Pressure to raise prices is spreading across the semiconductor supply chain, prompting Chinese analog chipmakers to lift prices in line with global companies. The trend could give China, which is strong in mature-node manufacturing, an opening to expand market share, analysts say. S&P Global Ratings\' Clifford Kurz said China may benefit as analog chips are mainly made on mature processes. SEMI expects China’s share of 22 to 40 nm capacity to rise from 25 percent in 2024 to 42 percent in 2028.
