Abstract
India is one of the fastest growing semiconductor markets in the world.
Semiconductor consumption reached US$1.18 billion in 2005, and is expected to
reach US$3.09 billion by 2010. Liberalization and globalization of India' s
economy has accelerated the development of the electronics industry. The
country' s increasing middle class has further propelled the domestic demand
for electronics in the country. The exploding demand for mobile handsets and
PCs is also affecting semiconductor consumption. The report gives the
five-year forecast for semiconductor consumption in India and also points out
the consumption trends across different segments. It highlights the drivers in
each segment and also gives the break down of semiconductor products like
microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory, and DSP across each segment. The
major players in various semiconductor segments are discussed to provide an
overview of the market' s direction. The report also analyzes the semiconductor
manufacturing scenario in India and takes a look at recent developments in
this space.
