Semiconductor Industry Forecast to 2012

After the halt of global financial turmoil across the world, the semiconductor industry has increased tremendously. This growth was mainly backed by the increase in investment by major international players encouraged by rapid rise in consumer demand from various geographical locations. Increased industrial productions and reviving consumer confidence further led to an increase in demand of semiconductor related products and devices across the world. The semiconductor market is expected to sustain this growth momentum with the improvement in market conditions worldwide.

According to our new research report, “Semiconductor Industry Forecast to 2012”, the sales of global semiconductors surged by around 32% in 2010. During this period, the industry was dominated by a few world-class firms with high technology capability and strong manufacturing bases. Moreover, the semiconductor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% during 2011-2014.

Integrated circuits (ICs) remain the most dominant segment of the semiconductor industry, accounting for around 84% of the total revenue in 2010 followed by optoelectronics, discrete, and sensors. Our research projects that future growth will be driven by sensors followed by discrete, ICs, and optoelectronics growing at a projected CAGR at around 13.5%, 8.5%, 6%, and 4%, respectively for 2011-2014.
