Suffer semiconductor to sell growth to put the influence of delay, global semiconductor investment is constrictive.

According to association of American semiconductor industry (the message of SIA) , as a result of the be a burden on of memory IC industry, predict semiconductor sold growth to put delay 2008, but integral semiconductor sale will maintain driving growth before 2011.

Company of Gartner of market survey orgnaization issues a report recently, because get,say American economy is low confuse and be a burden on of DRAM chip market, predict expenses of global semiconductor firm will drop 2008 19.8% , amount to 47.5 billion dollar. Predict DRAM market defray will decrease this year 47% , and expense of market of whole memory chip will decrease 29. Gartner still says, predict the whole world is used at chip equipment to make expenditure will decrease this year 17.4% . And global semiconductor encloses equipment spending to also will appear to be reduced substantially this year, predict to fall in 18.1% the left and right sides. Additional, defray of market of automatic test equipment also will be faced with semiconductor this year of 13% glide, glide extent is basic with kept balance last year.

Asia-Pacific market sells amplitude still not common. Organize according to statistic of global semiconductor trade (WSTS) announces data to show, in June 2008 sale of global semiconductor market relatively the corresponding period grew 12.2% last year. Among them rising market growth is rapidder, asia-Pacific area reached 13.19 billion dollar in June, grow 17.6% compared to the same period; Japanese market rises 3% to amount to 4.28 billion dollar; European market rises 7.5% to amount to 3.99 billion dollar; American market rises 11.3% to come 4.06 billion dollar.

Analytic personage says, when economic situation is grim, install and safeguard semiconductor to produce establishment load too big, because the service is included outside this semiconductor,will not grow.

Report of Gartner newest research says, service revenue was wrapped to will grow 10.8% outside global semiconductor 2008. Global generation was versed in service revenue predicts to will reach 25.5 billion dollar 2008, grew 14.8% than the 22.2 billion dollar 2007. This market predicts to will continue to grow in the 3rd quarter. Semiconductor was assembled 2008 and check service revenue to will reach 21.9 billion dollar, grow 6.6% than the 20.6 billion dollar 2007

Inside course of study think generally, because Asia-Pacific area demand is clear, global semiconductor invests east the country that the bag outside the semiconductor such as Taiwan of land of the home in moving, China and Korea develops.

Recently, ground of in quick succession performed tycoon of semiconductor industry international to buy and, fractionation is again amalgamative recombine case. For example Intel of global rank first and rank the meaning law semiconductor of the 5th (ST) comes off respectively go out to shine severally put a branch, established shine newly put company Numonyx; Meaning law semiconductor and the wireless chip business with bilateral conformity of favour wisdom riverside establish new company ST-NXP Wireless; Rank the Ying Feiling of the 6th to buy the mobile branch of LSI, wait for for sale of oneself memory branch fractionation.

Besides semiconductor tycoon allied, of medium and small businesses before incorporating, also undertaking. Prospective semiconductor is bought forward technical confluence develops. The confluence that consumption, communication and business maneuver calculate will become semiconductor to develop the mainstream.

Analysis: 8 years crisis of industry of global mobile phone comes

June 6, 2008

DoNews is commented on (take a pen small new) economy goes weak, the market is fatigued and weak, each are big the company is reduced anticipate, was sure adversary machine industry 2008 is a sad year.

8 the beginning of the year, company of each old market research ever was valued to foreground of mobile phone course of study, they think mobile phone sales volume won’t get in succession global economy is dispirited affect with what connect Peng, and can present rapid growth trend, predict mobile phone sales volume still will be in 8 years 10% above. Go up in succession because of manufacturer of this each old mobile phone move 8 years of shipment to estimate an end.

But this kind of false appearance is very fast undone. According to the statistic 8 years first quarter, although volume of shipment of mobile phone market grew 14% , but these growth basically come from hamster, middle east and Asia-Pacific area, Africa area to drive. In a few staple market, because suffer the influence sales volume of economic depression to glide quickly, the United States grows only 2.4% , western Europe market glided 16% .

Occupy the personage inside course of study to analyse, euramerican economy developeds of the area fatigued and weak, certainly will affects the sales volume of market of whole mobile phone.

Forecast according to authoritative orgnaization, be risen by raw material reach abidance that borrows storm to affect, volume of mobile phone shipment is amounted to hard in the 2 quarters of traditional busy season expect an end. At present this kind of evidence has supplied a respect to be shown somewhat in raw material, main supplier is like mobile phone chip to be connected high, the shipment volume of the Q2 such as De Yi and Ying Feiling fails to achieve expect an end, this certainly will affects amount of shipment of market of 3 quarters mobile phone. Actually, the phenomenon that IC chip sells the mobile phone to be not dropped is in had appeared first quarter.

Face such general trends, the exciting market demand, point that adjusts global sale to plan to will become manufacturer of each mobile phone to will work henceforth. Current, a few adjust not as good as company, for instance the Suoniaili of Euramerican market believes deep ploughing, be turned over to exceed by LG electron in this quarter, fall to the 5th. (be over)
