Asian Economic Turmoil Deflates Semiconductor Sales

According to the Semiconductor Industry
Association's (SIA) Global Sales Report, the recent
economic turmoil in Japan and pressures in product
pricing led to a 1.9 percent drop in world
semiconductor sales from June to July.

July sales reflect a 30.2 percent drop in Japan's
market from July 1997. However, two-thirds of the
decline is due to the depreciation of Japan's
currency.
Also impacting sales, the oversupply of
memory chips in world markets continues to soften
pricing and cut revenues.

Sales in all major world markets declined in July
from year-ago totals, dropping 17 percent
collectively. The Americas market fell from $3.85
billion to $3.20 billion, Europe dropped from $2.31
billion to $2.22 billion and Asia-Pacific slipped from
$2.54 to $2.1 billion.
