Global Semiconductor Industry - Porter's Five Forces Strategy Analysis-

The economic recession had a major impact on the global semiconductor industry and the market experienced a decline from 2008 till mid-2010. The year 2011 saw the industry posting strong growth, which is expected to continue in the coming years.

With integrated semiconductors leading the industry in terms of market revenues, discrete semiconductors are not expected to post much of a strong growth till 2016. In fact, discrete semiconductors make up for just about 20% of the global semiconductor industry.

Aruvian’s R’search analyzes the Global Semiconductor Industry in Michael Porter’s Five Forces Analysis. It uses concepts developed in Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market. Porter referred to these forces as the microenvironment, to contrast it with the more general term macro-environment. They consist of those forces close to a company that affect its ability to serve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces normally requires a company to re-assess the marketplace.

Apart from a Porter’s five forces analysis, the report also analyzes the industry through an industry definition, market value, industry segmentation, and a market share analysis. We also include brief profiles of the leading industry players.
