CNBC AI News, August 2nd – China’s electronic information manufacturing sector continues its expansion, with data from the National Bureau of Statistics revealing a robust 11.1% year-over-year increase in the added value of enterprises above a designated size for the first half of 2025. This growth outpaces both the overall industrial and high-tech manufacturing sectors.
While the sector paints a picture of broad growth, nuances emerge upon closer inspection. Mobile phone production reached 707 million units, a 4.5% decrease year-over-year. However, the smart phone segment bucked this trend, posting a 0.5% increase with 563 million units produced. Meanwhile, microcomputer equipment production climbed 5.6% to 166 million units, and integrated circuit (IC) output surged to 239.5 billion units, marking a substantial 8.7% rise.
On the export front, electronic information manufacturers above the designated size collectively achieved a 3.6% year-over-year increase in export deliveries for the first half of the year, with June alone showing a 5% increase.
Customs data indicates mixed export performance. Notebook computer exports totaled 66.75 million units, down 2.8% year-over-year, and mobile phone exports slipped 7% to 340 million units. However, integrated circuit exports shone brightly, soaring 20.6% to 167.8 billion units. This strong IC export figure underscores China’s growing capabilities and competitiveness in the global semiconductor market.
The sector’s financial performance reflects this growth trajectory. Revenue reached 8.04 trillion yuan (approximately $1.13 trillion USD) in the first half of the year, up 9.4% year-over-year. Operating costs rose 9.6% to 7.02 trillion yuan. Overall profits totaled 302.4 billion yuan, a 3.5% increase. Notably, the profit margin on operating revenue rose to 3.76%, a 0.4 percentage point improvement compared to the January-May period, signaling increased efficiency and profitability within the sector.
