Global Chip Market Seen Rising 20.3 Percent
in 2001

TOKYO (Reuters) - The global semiconductor market is expected to rise in
value by 20.3 percent in calendar 2001 from a year earlier to $250.02 billion,
the Electronics Industries Association of Japan said on Tuesday.

The projection was in line with its May forecast of 20.2 percent growth despite emerging concern about
weakening demand for chips.

For calendar 2000, the industry group now expects the worldwide chip market to climb 39.2 percent to
$207.89 billion, up from its previous forecast of a 30.6 percent rise.

In 2002, the worldwide semiconductor market is expected to rise by 11.1 percent to $277.68 billion, against
the previous forecast of 13.6 percent rise to $266.29 billion, and in 2003 by 10.4 percent to $306.67 billion,
against the previous estimate of 8.5 percent to $288.98 billion), it said.

The market for DRAMs (dynamic random-access memories) will increase by 28.7 percent to $41.65 billion in
2001 after jumping a steep 56.2 percent to $32.36 billion in 2000.

In May, it forecast a 28.6 percent rise to $36.50 billion in 2001 and a 37 percent rise to $28.37 billion in 2000
after a jump of 47.8 percent in 1999.

The WSTS estimated the growth rate of the DRAMs market at 9.5 percent in 2002 to $45.60 billion, and 9.3
percent in 2003 to $49.84 billion. In May, it forecast a 14.9 percent rise to $42 billion in 2002 and 6.9 percent
rise to $44.8 billion in 2003.

The following is a breakdown of chip markets by region in billions of dollars with percentage change from a
year earlier:
