In recent years, countries in the development of the video surveillance industry provides a good environment. First, the country to support video surveillance industry, issued a number of policy documents, to encourage the development of the industry as a priority.
Second, the 2009 "Green City" to carry out the construction and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and Guangzhou Asian Games and other major events have been held, which greatly boosted the construction of China's video surveillance system needs, but also accelerated the popularity of video surveillance system in the country speed,glue gun to promote industrial-scale expansion. Video surveillance industry is huge, and the market size continues to increase.
Core technology of video surveillance technologies, whether optical imaging, audio and video decoding technology, algorithm technology, hardware chip technology, smart technology, are currently the industry is increasingly clear there is globalization, Chinese enterprises are facing fierce competition in the market. In addition, the global video surveillance industry has to produce, the manufacturing sector gradually shifted to China,glue stick and now the production of video surveillance equipment, manufacturing, basically done in China, China has developed this part of the business to undertake the world's manufacturing center.
Video surveillance in the entire chip industry's upstream industry chain. To DSP, CCD chip, chip technology as the representative of progress on the development of video surveillance industry has significant impact, upstream chip manufacturers for the entire technical development of video surveillance industry has played a decisive role. At present, the development of hardware chip design and manufacturing base as SONY, SHARP, MICRON, Philips, TI, ADI and other monopoly of foreign manufacturers, foreign manufacturers of these technologies and alternative products exist between the larger, is also more competition among intense. Among them, Japan, as exporting countries, the Japanese security industry as its home appliance industries, the security market in the world plays a vital important role, especially its use of camera surveillance products, but also accounted for half of China's surveillance camera market. Japanese production of the chip market, one-fifth of the world, micro-chip output value of 63.3 billion U.S. dollars, due to the production of video surveillance equipment in China large output, including the upper reaches of the chip, including many key raw materials and key components imported from Japan .
March 11, 2011, Japan 9 earthquake occurred offshore. The earthquake not only directly affect the pace of economic recovery in Japan, while Japan's electronic information industry has also brought a strong impact, global electronic information industry in Japan is big country, the industry has a huge impact on the global rise and fall. China is Japan's neighboring countries, the electronic information industry is highly complementary. Japan earthquake on China's electronic information industry will also be in different areas have different degrees. To the upstream components industry, Japan is the world's second largest after the U.S. semiconductor producer. In 2010, total sales of Japanese semiconductor industry was about 63.5 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 298.32 billion U.S. dollars global semiconductor market, about 21% of sales. 2010 global top 20 semiconductor manufacturers, Japanese companies have 5.
Semiconductor chip production line in Japan widely distributed in the local community. Which directly affected in the earthquake area (Miyazaki, Iwate, Fukushima, Akita four counties), a total of 18 chip manufacturers, including 12-inch plants Block 1, 8-inch plant 7, 6-inch plant 7, 5 inches and the following chip factory 3. The total capacity of the chip plant total capacity of about 20% of the Japanese semiconductor, accounting for 4% of the global total production capacity. Elpida Memory and Toshiba's production bases are located in the vicinity of Hiroshima and Nagoya, the southern and central Japan, far away from the earthquake, the impact of the earthquake was relatively small. The earthquake semiconductor companies in the region mainly Toshiba, OKI, TI, Fujitsu, and its main products for the consumer logic IC and analog IC. Currently these companies base plant in the earthquake zone have been suspended, which will enable global supply of semiconductor products are related to a certain extent. China in particular, Toshiba, Sony, Matsushita and other Japanese-owned electronics companies will be directly affected by the shortage of chips. It should be noted that Japan is currently the world's major semiconductor producer of silicon materials. Shin-Etsu, SUMCO are the first and the second largest global supplier of semiconductor wafers, the two companies together accounted for 60% of global market share or more.
