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.
