subject: Semiconductor Industry Forecast to 2012 by:Shushmul Maheshwari [print this page] Like many other markets, the ongoing economic turmoil around the globe is considerably impacting the semiconductor market too. The systemic financial crisis has significantly weakened the consumer confidence, thus forcing them to reduce spending on all items, including electronic products. This has substantially contained the growth of global semiconductor market, says our new report, "Semiconductor Industry Forecast to 2012.
Electronic products such as PCs, mobiles and home appliances account for more than half of global semiconductor sales. But the growth in sales of PCs, mobile phones and other consumer electronics products has been witnessing sharp decline since the second half of 2008, thereby impacting the global semiconductor market.
With deepening of financial crisis, according to our research, the global semiconductor market is expected to see a negative outlook in 2009. However, as the crisis start to tail off later in the year, the market will see a possibly improved scenario in 2010 and afterwards. As a result, the global semiconductor market is projected to grow at a respectable CAGR of nearly 7% through 2012.
Much of the projected growth will be driven by the optoelectronics segment, growing at a CAGR of nearly 10%. At regional level, Asia-Pacific will account for more than half of the semiconductor market by the end of our forecast period.
