Chip market growth rate to double
| 10 августа 2012 |
Over the next five years the long-term growth rate for the semiconductor market is going be more than double what it has been, according to market research firm IC Insights Inc.
The five years from 2006 to 2011 saw a compound annual growth rate of just 3.9 percent for the total chip business, with integrated circuits even lower at 3.3 percent. While unit shipments are generally thought to have held up well over the period average selling prices (ASPs) have fallen as companies compete to get into high volume consumer products such as smartphones and tablet computers.
The semiconductor sector is going to see a return to a CAGR of 8 percent with
ICs not far behind at 7.6 percent. The OSD sector – optoelectronics, sensors
and discretes – will do even better growing by 10.6 percent per year on
average.
Within the IC sector McClean is predicting a return to growth for the DRAM
sector and very strong growth for NAND flash non-volatile memory of 16.6
percent per year on average. Other key markets such as microprocessors (MPUs)
and the analog market are forecast to enjoy modest increase in average annual
market growth through 2016.
The key will be a turn around in the ASP trend reckons the market analyst.
Whereas ASPs declined by 2.9 percent per year on average between 2006 and 2011,
going forward IC Insights expects a 1.7 percent per annum uplift in ASPs.
IC Insights puts that down to consolidation in the industry making it less
likely that it will get into an oversupply situation which can prompt steep
price declines.
