Chinese company Tsinghua will spend $ 47 billion to get into the top three largest manufacturers of microcircuits
The Chinese company Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd plans to invest in the production of microchips. In the next five years, she will invest 300 billion yuan ($ 47 billion) in this area.
The management of Tsinghua expects that the investment will allow the Chinese company to enter the top three of the world's largest chip makers. In this area, it will have to compete with Intel , Samsung Electronics and Qualcomm . Now the leader in this area is Intel, the second and third places are taken by Samsung Electronics and Qualcomm, respectively.
As the world's largest processor manufacturer, Intel has been a leader in the semiconductor market for many years. In terms of annual revenue, it was significantly ahead of the competitors, although in terms of volumes in units of production it was far from the first place.

According to the report of IHS iSuppli , following the results of Q2 calendar 2015, Samsung, in terms of its market share, reduced the backlog from Intel by a record distance to 1.6%. The lag began to decline noticeably from 2011 from 6.9% to 6% in 2012, to 4.3% in 2013 and 3.4% in 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, Samsung’s share in the semiconductor market was already behind Intel. 2.1%.
Intel's capitalization is estimated at $ 151.5 billion. Tsinghua Unigroup's planned investments are roughly equal to Intel's annual revenue from chip sales (last year it was $ 50 billion).
According to the head of Tsinghua Unigroup, the company is negotiating a deal with one of the American companies engaged in the production of microchips.
In August, Tsinghua Unigroup made an unofficial offer to buy American Micron Technology Inc, reports Reuters. However, it was rejected. In general, over the past two years, the Chinese organization has spent more than $ 9.4 billion on investments and acquisitions, including the purchase of shares in the American Western Digital Corp and Taiwan-based Powertech Technology Inc. An investment of $ 3.775 billion in Western Digital was recently announced. In exchange, Unisplendour, a member of the Tsinghua Unigroup, will receive a 15% stake in Western Digital and a seat on the board of directors. In May of this year, for $ 2.3 billion, a controlling stake in the HP server division was acquired.
China is extremely interested in owning its own semiconductor manufacturing. The country spends annually on the import of chips more than on crude oil.
According to estimates by research company IHS Technology, in 2014 the global chip market volume reached $ 355 billion. Intel's revenue from chip production last year was $ 50 billion.
