Abstract
The semiconductor industry has been experiencing relatively balanced growth
over the past few years, and we expect that this will continue throughout the
forecast period. There will, of course, be some variation in growth rates
among the end-use segments, but they all will track close enough to the
average that none can be said to be the driver in the sense that the computer
and communications segments have been drivers in the not too distant past.
This report examines the semiconductor demand from an end-use market
perspective and examines the trends that are likely to affect unit demand and
pricing in the future.
All historical and forecasted data in this report are consistent with the data
in the companion report IN0804279SSF "Semiconductor Product Market Forecast-If
It' s Not One Thing It' s Another."
The report provides:
- -WW semiconductor unit, ASP, and revenue forecasts
- -WW semiconductor revenue forecasts by end-use market segments broken out
by region and by major WSTS product category
- -Regional semiconductor revenue forecasts broken out by major end-use
category
- -Semiconductor major product category forecasts broken out by end-use
market segments.
Key findings from the report:
- -Semiconductor revenue is expected to grow by 2.4% in 2008 to $261.9
billion
- -The consumer segment will lead 2008 growth at 5.9%
- -Over the forecast period, the consumer and communications segments will
gain share while the computer segment share declines.
