China’s Chip Exports Jump 100% Year on Year to About $31 Billion in April
The source says semiconductor exports reached a record monthly level, while overseas sales of laptops, tablets, and related components rose 47% from a year earlier.
China’s chip exports rose about 100% year on year in April to roughly $31 billion, according to the source, marking a record monthly figure. The source adds that this export value has tripled over the past two years, highlighting the scale of growth in China’s semiconductor-related trade. At the same time, overseas sales of laptops, tablets, and their components increased 47% from a year earlier. Together, the figures point to strong external demand for China’s electronics supply chain, with semiconductors remaining a core input for consumer devices and broader hardware manufacturing.
