Statistics A modest May
Recent figures from the SIA suggest that global growth for the semiconductor industry was steady for the month of May.
T 12
he Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), said that sales of semiconductors
were $25 billion for the month of May 2011, a 1.8% increase from April when sales were $24.6 billion and a 1.3 % growth from May 2010. All sales numbers are a three month average. “Taking into consideration
macroeconomic factors impacting confidence, the modest growth that the industry demonstrated in May is encouraging,” said Brian Toohey, president, SIA. “Global demand for high-end electronics, the continuing proliferation of semiconductor technology into a wider range of products, growth in emerging economies and better than expected recovery from the Japan earthquake will be continued drivers of industry growth in 2011.”
The industry continues to see demand for tablets and e-readers grow, as well as increased demand for industrial processors that enable devices to harness renewable energy like solar panels and e-meters. Additionally, the industry has seen strong demand for electronic systems included across all ranges of vehicles. Economic uncertainty around the
world bears close watching, while further opportunities for sales growth will be concentrated in emerging markets like China and India. Results are in line with projections recently reported in the Spring Semiconductor Sales Forecast from WSTS that indicate global industry sales will increase 5.4 percent for 2011, 7.6 percent in 2012 and 5.4 percent in 2013, with a 3-year compound annual growth rate of 6.13 percent from 2010 to 2013.
