A world of opportunity
Sunnyvale, CA-based Silicon Storage Technology, reports Derrick Best, senior vice president of marketing and sales worldwide, believes that China represents the new frontier for the silicon chip industry. His company supplies flash memory to the consumer, networking, wireless and Internet markets. “We see very rapid growth [in China.]” Indeed, Best says that demand in China may be what prevents the industry from sliding into a trough. “We see the softness in the PC segments, with a lot of companies overbooking. The market isn’t growing at the same 15% to 20% rate. But we regard it as a breather until China comes on line.”
