TOKYO -- Chinese-made chips will account for just 20.7% of the national market in 2024, well below the 70% target in its "Made in China 2025" initiative, according to American research firm IC Insights.

China-based production of integrated circuits, which include central processing units and memory chips, is projected to more than double by value between 2019 and 2024 to $43 billion, which will equal about 8.5% of the global market.
