"Resistors, capacitors, inductors, potentiometers, etc. are all called electronic components, which are the cornerstones that support the development of the information technology industry." June 27, "Basic Electronic Components Industry Development Action Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan) The drafting participant Wang Ruoda, a researcher at the Institute of Integrated Circuits of the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, introduced that the sales revenue of China’s electronic components industry exceeded 1.86 trillion yuan in 2019, and the state has set a goal for this industry, which is published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology this year. The plan calls for total sales of electronic components in China to reach 2.1 trillion yuan in 2023.

This kind of components, 1,000 on mobile phones, 10,000 on cars

Electronic components have always been inconspicuous.

"In the industry, chips, artificial intelligence, the Internet, etc. have always received more attention. People seldom pay attention to these components that play an important role." Lou Long, director of the membership service department of the China Electronic Components Industry Association, said frankly. In the new era, the electronic information industry has become a hotspot and has achieved sustained and high-speed development. It is inseparable from the support of obscure electronic components.

"Here is a set of data. Take MLCC (a special capacitor) as an example. There are 1,000 on each Apple mobile phone, 6,000 on each base station, and more than 10,000 for an intelligent networked car." Wang Ruoda said.

This kind of MLCC, which is called "electronic industry rice", has rarely become a hot spot of public concern. But in fact, electronic components are everywhere.

"Electronic components have penetrated into all aspects of life, including 5G, intelligent networked cars, Internet of Things, military equipment and other fields. They are the'food' for our industrial development." Wang Ruoda said, "Moreover, the technical role of electronic components Outstanding, it is the so-called'no components, no products'."

In the past, electronic components have always been hidden behind the whole product, and they are not easy to receive widespread attention. The country hopes to raise the level of awareness of the electronic component industry through the "action plan", and promote its prominent and innovative development as an industry.

Big but not strong, development should be "the urgent need of the industry"

In recent years, a variety of electronic components have faced price increases or even shortages. Taking MLCC as an example, high-end products are mostly produced by overseas companies. Most Chinese companies are in the third echelon and have less say in subdivision fields. With the strong downstream demand and the insufficient upstream capacity, the passive acceptance of price increases has become the norm.

At present, my country has become the world's largest producer of electronic components, with more than 10,000 enterprises, and most of the products are in a leading position in the world in terms of production and sales. According to Wang Ruoda, the problem of large but not strong my country's electronic components industry is still prominent, mainly manifested in the weakness of the overall strength of the company, the lack of independent innovation capabilities, and the lack of backbone enterprises.

If the country wants to promote the development of the basic electronic components industry, it must be urgent for the development of the industry and point out the direction for the industry. "The'action plan' puts the high-end promotion of key products in the first place." Wang Ruoda said, you can find out which products are to be developed in the basic components action plan, including electromechanical, sensor, optical communication devices, etc., and clarify Direction of development.

"We hope to achieve breakthroughs in core technology in innovation, such as radio frequency filters, ceramic capacitors, etc., are the focus, in the electronic components also proposed MLCC chip and miniaturization." Wang Ruoda said.

The so-called "three piles for one fence". The transformation and upgrading of industries will not be isolated in order to achieve results. It is necessary to cultivate a development environment and create a development environment.

According to reports, in order to promote the transformation and upgrading of the electronic components industry, relevant departments will implement smart manufacturing promotion actions and green manufacturing promotion actions. Solve industry common problems such as consistency and reliability through intelligent manufacturing, and solve industry common problems such as energy efficiency and pollution through green manufacturing. In addition, relevant departments will strengthen standardization work, strengthen the construction of public platforms, and provide enterprises with analysis and testing platforms, technology service platforms, innovation and entrepreneurship incubation platforms, etc., to further assist enterprises in their innovation and upgrading, and strive to achieve a breakthrough in the scale of revenue of 15 enterprises by 2023 10 billion.
