China automobile industry grows rapidly in recent years, and the output of cars has been ever increasing. Presently, China has been the world's third largest producer of automobiles. Besides, China-made automobiles are upgrading rapidly. Auto electronic products have become the symbol of car grade as well as one of main selling points.

Along with the development of China automobile industry, in order to adapt to increasingly fiercer competition, the nationalization of auto parts and auto electronics becomes the inevitable trend. After several years' development, China auto electronic industry has made remarkable progress particularly in car body electronics and in-car electronics under the drive of automotive manufacturing.

In a word, the development of automotive electronic industry provides vast space for the application of auto electronic IC products. And the auto electronic IC market has an increasing proportion in the whole IC market in China.
