Evan Wang of EDA giant Empyrean: Domestic tool coverage has risen to 85%

Liu Weiping, chairman of Empyrean, stated at the 26th China International Industry Fair that the domestic EDA industry is steadily completing its product chain, with tool coverage rising from under 30% to 85%. Some tools have reached international advanced levels, though full-chain support capabilities remain lacking and performance improvements are needed for certain tools. In terms of specific application areas, localization rates for EDA tools in flat-panel display, storage, and wafer manufacturing sectors all exceed 50%. Additionally, the domestic EDA ecosystem platform has achieved 50% coverage across major process nodes, with projections to reach 80% this year.
