IC industry is one of the foundation and core industries of modern information industry. Therefore, the study of this industry has important theoretical and practical significance. The main purpose of this study is to measure the degree of close correlation between the two indexes through correlation analysis of the selected indicators, so as to study the development trend and direction of IC. Based on the theory of induced innovation and the theory of comparative advantage, this paper analyzes the correlation between the profit of the IC industry and the following three indicators by using chart analysis method, covariance analysis method and correlation coefficient analysis method. These three indicators are R&D expenditure, new product development costs and annual export amount of IC. The selected data are mainly from CHINA STATISTICS YEARBOOK ON HIGH-TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY. Through the research, it is found that the profit of China’s IC industry is positively correlated with the first two indicators and negatively correlated with the annual export amount.
