Semiconductor Market Posts Solid Growth in Q1
Continued from page 1
7.5 percent. That slightly softer out- look, however, is likely to strengthen and improve when industry revenue is tallied again at the end of Q2, giv- en that signs are already pointing to renewed vigor in the semiconductor landscape. Chip revenue during Q1 grew
fastest in data processing electronics. Major growth drivers for the space in- clude the use of solid state drives (SS- Ds) to replace traditional hard drives in both laptop and desktop PCs, as well as a spike in the pricing of NAND flash memory utilized in SSDs. With no moving or mechanical parts sus- ceptible to drops or shudders, SSDs offer faster performance and greater durability than hard drives. Revenue during Q1 2018 for
semiconductors used in data process- ing equipment and devices amounted to $38.4 billion, up 19.5 percent from $32.2 billion in Q1 2017. The data processing sector includes datacenter servers, workstations, desktop PCs, mobile PCs, tablet PCs, DRAM up- grade modules, flat-panel monitors, and data storage devices — e.g., hard disk drives, solid state drives, and
optical drives. The second-fastest-growing sec-
tor was wired communications. De- spite having the smallest revenue in the group at $5.8 billion, revenue growth of the semiconductors used in wired communications equipment and devices reached 17.5 percent. Growth drivers include threat-miti- gation products, data center network equipment, and Ethernet switches and routers for enterprise applica- tions in data centers.
The other sectors, ranked by Q1
year-over-year growth in descending order, are: consumer electronics at 16.5 percent, wireless communica- tions at 16.3 percent, industrial elec- tronics at 14.9 percent, and automo- tive at 13.9 percent. In terms of sheer size, data pro-
cessing and its nearly $40 billion rev- enue also made it the largest sector by far. In second place is wireless commu- nications, with total revenue of $33.9 billion for the period. Among electron- ic equipment and devices, wireless communications posted the highest growth rate in OEM factory revenue, up 17 percent from $95.8 billion in Q4 2017 to $112.0 billion in Q1 2018.
