  • Innovation and Upgrading Pathways in the Chinese Smartphone Production GVC Jiong How Lua National University of Singapore
    Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Lua Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Jiong How Lua National University of Singapore Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Lua Abstract This paper attends to the recent upgrading developments demonstrated by Chinese smartphone firms. Adopting a comparative approach of tearing down retail-accessible smartphones to their components, this paper traces the upgrading activities across global value chains (GVCs) that Chinese firms partake in during the production process. Upgrading is thus discovered to be diverse and complicated rather than a linear process, carrying significant implications for the production networks and supply chains in Chinese smartphone firms. Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Lua Introduction China today is not only the world’s largest exporter of labor-intensive goods but also remains as the largest producer of personal electronics devices, surpassing the output of the US (West & Lansang, 2018). Contrary to popular belief, Chinese smartphone producers do not merely mimic their competitors, instead, innovate to “catch-up” with international competitors by upgrading across Global Value Chains (GVCs). Utilizing Liu et al. ’s (2015) illustration as a starting point, I open the dossier for both acknowledgement and critique. Figure 1. Two different expectations, two sources of mobile phone manufacturing Source: Liu et al. (2015, p. 273) This paper primarily take issue with the linear depiction of technological improvements in leading smartphone firms in Figure 1 because upgrading is a complicated process involving different strategies and forms of innovation. Instead, it argues that leading Chinese smartphone firms subscribe to a non-linear upgrading process.

We expect China display sector to outgrow global peers in 2017/18 (China: 17%/9% vs global 14%/3%), given growing demand from Chinese brands, the government policy on localisation and mid-term supply ease. China's display industry is underway to improve its profitability and sustainability with better utilisation and mix. ■ Mid-term supply ease extends into 2H17. We estimate global display panel demand-supply (in terms of display area) would remain healthy (5% vs 3%) in 2017, thanks to limited new capacity and size upgrade. We see potential risk of oversupply starting from 2H18, but need more visibility on capacity ramp and size migration from China players. ■ China ambitions in display sector. (1) China display makers continue to expand capacity for scale capabilities. We expect China capacity to grow at a 25% CAGR over 2016-18E and account for 33% of worldwide capacity in terms of display area by 2018.
