‘’Semiconductor revenue worldwide will see improved growth this year of 6.9% and reaching $320 billion’’.
According to the mid-year 2013
update of the Semiconductor Applications Forecaster (SAF) from International Data Corporation (IDC),
Connectikpeople can observe that, the semiconductor
revenues will grow 2.9% year over year in 2014 to $329 billion and log an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2012-2017, reaching $366 billion in 2017.
revenues will grow 2.9% year over year in 2014 to $329 billion and log an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2012-2017, reaching $366 billion in 2017.
Like other key findings from IDC's Semiconductor Application Forecaster ,
we have:
- Semiconductor revenue for the computing industry segment will log year-over-year growth of 2.0% for 2013 and will show a slow CAGR of only 0.9% for the 2012-2017 forecast period. Semiconductor revenue from mobile PC demand will register year-over-year growth of -0.6% in 2013, only returning to positive growth in 2015.
- Semiconductor revenue for the mobile wireless communications segment will grow 10.3% year over year in 2013 with a CAGR of 5.2% for 2012-2017. Semiconductor revenue for 4G phones will experience an annual growth rate of 121.8% in 2013 and a CAGR of 37.9% for 2012-2017.
- Media tablets, e-Readers, blu-ray DVD players, and set-top boxes will continue to drive above average semiconductor revenue growth. Sales of CRT and rear projection TVs, HD receivers, digital video and still cameras, and DVD recorders and players will continue to erode. Overall, semiconductor revenue for the consumer segment will record year-over-year growth of 15.0% in 2013 and a 2012-2017 CAGR of 7.5%.
- The 4.3% year-over-year growth in 2013 in wired communications infrastructure semiconductors will be driven primarily by enterprise switches and routers, security appliances, and service provider switches and routers. Optical transport equipment, TDM and VoIP IMS, service provider head-end access equipment, and consumer network will also grow in 2013 over 2012, but to a lesser extent.
- Driven by the increase in semiconductor content in automobiles (i.e. applications such as in-vehicle infotainment, automobile body electronics, and driver safety systems), semiconductor revenue for the automotive segment is expected to grow 5.3% in 2013.
- Regionally, Asia/Pacific will experience year-over-year growth of 6.9% in 2013 and a CAGR of 4.9% for 2012-2017.
