WSTS projects return to growth in 2010 for worldwide semiconductor salesWorldwide Semiconductor Market to Decline -11.5 percent in 2009, Increase +12.2 percent in 2010 and +9.3 percent in 2011
After contracting an estimated -11.5 percent in 2009 to $220.1 billion, the global semiconductor market is expected to post growth of 12.2% to $246.9 billion in 2010 according to the autumn forecast of World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS). The semiconductor industry has been materially affected by subdued consumption resulting from the global economic crisis. The organization believes that the industry has bottomed and momentum is now heading in a positive direction.
The new forecast presents a more favourable outlook for 2010 with an increase of $37.9 billion over the spring 2009 forecast. The industry is now expected to top $269.8 billion in 2011, with a 3-year compound annual growth rate of 2.8% from 2008 to 2011.
