Last I heard, the China domestic FPGA scene is fugly. Over 99% of the market is owned by giants like Xilinx and Intel with the local leaders trailing far behind, mostly due to patent portfolios held by those same leaders. Here's a good article describing the ugly situation.
Quote: "The biggest obstacle to the development of FPGA in China is patent technology. The two companies, Xilinx and Intel, have set up barriers from cell architecture, IP, interconnection and other core technologies. In the past 20 years, the development of domestic FPGA companies has been very difficult to break through, and now they are still in the dilemma of passive innovation and high R & D cost. According to the data of global market insights, it is estimated that by 2022, the FPGA market in the Asia Pacific region will exceed 4 billion US dollars, while foreign manufacturers will account for 99% of the market share. In the background of self-improvement, how to break through has become the biggest challenge for domestic FPGA manufacturers."
Quote: "Compared with nearly 1700 IC design enterprises in the Chinese market, the number of domestic FPGA manufacturers is pitiful. In fact, it is not the low profit of FPGA products, but the insurmountable technical barriers. In order to succeed in FPGA industry, we need to build a complete ecosystem, including FPGA chip, EDA tool, IP library, etc."
