The Rise of Domestic MCU in China: A Comprehensive Overview of 56 Core Enterprises' Technological Layouts and Market Breakthroughs

Driven by both the restructuring of the global semiconductor supply chain and domestic policies to "strengthen and supplement the industrial chain," China’s domestic MCU (Microcontroller Unit) industry has witnessed explosive growth in recent years. Breaking out from the mid-to-low-end markets of home appliances and industrial control, and gradually penetrating high-end segments such as automotive-grade and high-reliability industrial control, domestic MCUs are reshaping the global market pattern long dominated by international giants like STMicroelectronics (ST) and NXP Semiconductors. Industry data shows that by 2024, the number of domestic MCU manufacturers in China had exceeded 400, while STMicroelectronics’ MCU sales dropped by 41.3% year-on-year in the same period, indicating an accelerated pace of domestic replacement.

As the "brain" of electronic devices, MCUs are widely used in smart terminals such as smart homes, industrial control, and new energy vehicles. In the past, China was highly dependent on imports for high-end MCUs. Today, however, a number of local enterprises have overcome technical barriers: not only have they formed scale effects in the 8-bit and 32-bit general-purpose MCU markets, but they have also achieved million-level shipments in high-end segments such as automotive-grade and high-reliability industrial control, becoming a vital force in the global MCU market.
