I've found that some ICs actually have no agents in China and can only be obtained through import channels. Why is that? Is it because the domestic market demand is small, or are there other special reasons? It seems that this is both troublesome and may cost more. I hope friends who are knowledgeable in this area can explain it to me.

There are mainly the following reasons why some ICs have no domestic agents and can only be imported. Firstly, some ICs are highly specialized and niche chips with narrow application fields. The scale of domestic market demand is relatively limited and not enough to support the operating costs of agents, so no agents are willing to take on this business.
Secondly, some ICs are involved in the specific sales strategies of foreign manufacturers. For example, they may prefer to directly connect with large end customers or focus their resources on their own countries and other major international markets, and they are not highly motivated to explore the Chinese agency market.
Moreover, on the technical level, the technical parameters and designs of some ICs are relatively complex and updated rapidly. Agents need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources for technical follow-up and after-sales service guarantee. Domestic enterprises may temporarily lack the ability to match this, resulting in the absence of suitable agents and the need to obtain these IC products only through import.

Perhaps it's because the technologies of these ICs are too new. Domestic relevant technical talents haven't fully mastered them yet and can't do a good job in agent support and other work, so they can only be imported.

Some foreign manufacturers may be worried about technology leakage or something and are not willing to set up agents in China. Then they can only obtain these ICs through import.

Maybe it's because there are some differences between domestic relevant industry standards and those abroad, which makes it difficult for these ICs to find agents for promotion in China and they can only be obtained through import channels.

Perhaps it's because the production processes of these ICs are very special and there are no agents in China that can meet the requirements of their supporting services for the time being, so they can only be imported.
