As global AIoT device shipments surpass 5 billion units, the demand for heterogeneous computing in smart terminals is driving the chip industry into a new cycle of innovation. The self-developed storage-computing integrated architecture by domestic technology companies has achieved commercial implementation in edge computing scenarios, bringing structural growth opportunities to the semiconductor industry.
In the context of the rapid iteration of smart automotive computing platforms, which has accelerated to a 12-month cycle, semiconductor companies are undergoing a strategic transformation from technology catch-up to ecosystem building, ranging from automotive-grade MCUs to autonomous driving SoCs.
According to the latest report from SEMI, global semiconductor equipment spending is expected to reach $124 billion by 2025, with domestic Chinese manufacturers’ market share in key equipment areas such as etching and deposition exceeding 15%. During the supply chain restructuring process, companies with vertical integration capabilities are demonstrating stronger performance resilience.
Based on the latest financial reports of listed companies, we focus on semiconductor companies with a year-on-year net profit growth exceeding 80%, conducting an in-depth analysis from three dimensions: technology route, product matrix, and customer structure.

Rank 10: Allwinner Technology
Technical Advantage: RISC-V architecture-based intelligent visual processing chips have been certified by leading customers such as BYD and Ecovacs in the service robot field.
Financial Performance: Q1 revenue of 980 million yuan (+78%), net profit attributable to shareholders of 210 million yuan (+86.5%).
Industry Breakthrough: Automotive-grade T7 series chips have entered the supply chains of Changan and Great Wall Motors, supporting multi-screen interactive solutions for smart cockpits.
Rank 9: Yunnan Geology Industry
Technical Breakthrough: The production yield of 6-inch indium phosphide substrates has improved to 82%, breaking the monopoly of foreign manufacturers.
Financial Performance: Q1 net profit of 430 million yuan (+188.7%), setting a new record for a single quarter.
Industry Layout: Joint laboratory established with the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to develop GaN-on-InP epitaxial wafers for 6G communication.
The current semiconductor industry is exhibiting three major trends: advanced packaging technology is driving the maturity of the chiplet ecosystem, RISC-V architecture penetration in the AIoT field has surpassed 20%, and third-generation semiconductors are accelerating their replacement in electric control systems for new energy vehicles.
It is important to note that the industry still faces practical challenges such as restrictions on the import of equipment below 28nm, insufficient completeness of EDA toolchains, and a talent gap exceeding 80,000 high-end professionals.
With the national big fund’s third phase of 200 billion yuan directed towards the equipment and materials sector, combined with the support of the fifth set of standards for the Science and Technology Innovation Board for unprofitable chip companies to go public, the industry capital is forming a virtuous cycle mechanism of “R&D – mass production – iteration.”
Risk Warning: Global semiconductor cycle fluctuations, risks of technological route changes, and geopolitical uncertainties.
