Taiwan Ic Design Company Closely Follows The International Chip Factory's Pace, Hoping To Win Future Business Opportunities.

The upstream of semiconductor industry in the fourth quarter of 2018 seems to be beginning to show off-season pressures ahead of schedule in the face of the fact that the domestic demand market data of the mainland is still not as good as expected and the disturbance of the US-China trade war. Profit growth has stalled, and internal R&D resources have recently been concentrated on new orders for automotive electronics, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence (AI). After all, these innovative products are spawning from scratch. As long as new orders can be snatched up, the performance of the company's operations in the coming year is bound to increase. Design companies have begun to keep pace with international chip factories, expanding their AI, Internet of Things and automotive electronic chip solutions in the hope of competing for huge business opportunities in the future.

During the upwind period of operation and growth in 2017, the branch obviously relied on orders for tens of millions of chips suddenly inspired by smart voice devices, shared bicycles and smart meters, effectively supporting the company's revenue, gross margin and profit performance downward bend. Under the favorable circumstances, the branch has been reorganized several times to open up research and development resources. Focus on the global Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and automotive electronic related chip market, in 2018 also began to receive positive feedback, including the continued doubling of smart voice device chip shipments, Internet of Things chip product line of new customers, new orders, automotive electronic chip solutions began to focus on the push Out, and all of its chip product lines to fully upgrade the AI application strategy, effectively help the company early in the year promised chip market share, revenue growth and gross margin of the overall rebound target.

In addition to the continuous transfer of research and development resources to emerging products, markets and applications, other IC design industries in Taiwan have also begun to show ambitions, such as Ruiyu Gengyun's many years of Ethernet chip solutions have successfully opened the door of the brand car factory, as soon as the end of 2018 is expected to start small.

Volume shipment. Cluster Electronics is also seriously targeting the global server-related chip market, which is closely related to cloud services and artificial intelligence, to attack the field of SSD control chips; as for Yilong, Shengqun, Xintang, Weibo and Songhan, Taiwan MCU suppliers are positively positioning Internet of Things, smart home-related low-power MCU solutions, we hope Competing for emerging business opportunities. And Liji, macro, Shengke and other Taiwan wireless chip design manufacturers, also try to constantly increase the design of new products, hoping to accumulate the growth of future orders; Creative Electronics, Zhiyuan and Shixin and other Taiwan design service plant internal research and development resources, is constantly chasing AI chip design orders.

In the future, so-called AI applications, Internet of Things business opportunities and automotive electronics innovation have become a global consensus on the future growth of the semiconductor industry, Taiwan IC designers have begun to actively move forward, and try to blossom and bear fruit, will be the company's performance in 2019 to beat the downturn of the key factors.
