Abstract
Synopsis
The industrial sector remains undoubtedly the most complicated market for
semiconductor manufacturers to serve. Applications cover a very diverse range
and the supply chain is complicated. Owing to this complexity, the sector has
historically been overlooked by many semiconductor vendors, who have elected
instead to focus their marketing efforts on higher value and less complicated
industries. However while industrial does not benefit from the hype and
glamour of the consumer or wireless sectors, neither does it exhibit the
"boom-and-bust" cycle so typical of the semiconductor industry as a whole. In
the current economic environment, with the global credit crunch affecting
consumer confidence in many regions of the world, semiconductor vendors can
look to the industrial sector as a safe bet for steady and dependable revenues
during uncertain times.
Semicast published its previous analysis of the industrial/medical sector in
November 2006. This second edition of the research has been produced in
response to many requests from the industry for updated data and analyzes the
market in 2007, with forecasts to 2013.
Key Conclusions:
- The market for semiconductors in industrial/medical applications is
forecast to grow from $20.0 billion in 2007 to $33.3 billion in 2013, a CAGR
of 8.8%.
- Compared to a semiconductor market of around $255 billion, the
industrial/medical sector represented between 7-8% of the total available
market in 2007.
- Analog ICs and discretes were the largest product categories in 2007,
accounting for around 25% and 20% of the market respectively.
- Highest revenue growth is forecast for analog ICs, followed by MCU/MPU/DSP.
- Just 25 industrial/medical equipment types are forecast to account for
two-thirds of revenue growth and half of cumulative semiconductor revenues
over the period to 2013.
- Infineon Technologies is estimated to have been the largest semiconductor
supplier to industrial/medical applications in 2007, marginally ahead of
STMicroelectronics.
