insights of Semiconductor industry in eight important countries China, India,
Japan, Taiwan, UK, Germany, France and US.
This report critically examines and provides extensive insights into the state
of the Global Semiconductor Industry, including current market size, market
segmentation, semiconductor equipment market, forecast across segments, major
players and their market shares, end user analysis, regional market analysis,
Trend Analysis, key industry drivers etc. It also highlights the success
factors and opportunities in the Semiconductor industry.
Key Findings
- The growth in the year 2006 was driven primarily by DRAM (Dynamic Random
Access Memory) and wireless chip sales to telecom equipment manufacturers.
- The Asia-Pacific market has outperformed the global average industry
growth due to growing demand. Demand for Products, which use semiconductor
such as computers and consumer electronics in China and India is growing, and
is leading to escalating demand for semiconductor components.
- The companies had grown impressively by registering high growth rates
during 2004 and 2005, for example Samsung Electronics in China grew by over
70% from the year 2004. As 300 mm wafers size fabrication is growing in
importance, many companies are looking forward to set-up the 300 mm
fabrication plant.
- The rise in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) sales during first six months
of 2006 was primarily driven by the increased capacity requirements for
testers for SOC (System-on-a-chip) and memory, especially flash.
