Longer Term Outlook for Semiconductor Products

Full Story:http://www.sia-online.org/pre_release.cfm?ID=386

The Semiconductor Industry Association reports 2005 global
sales of semiconductor products has grown by 6.8 percent to
227.6 billion in 2005, and forecasts to increase by 7.9
percent to $245.5 billion in 2006, 10.5 percent to $271.3
billion in 2007, and 13.9 percent to $309.2 billion in 2008.

"While Information Technology products will continue to be
the largest market sectors for semiconductors, consumer
products will be the major growth-drivers in the years
ahead,”said SIA President George Scalise. "Advances in
microchip technology are enabling a wide array of new
products that have captured the imagination of consumers.
Cell phones are rapidly evolving into multi-purpose
personal information and entertainment devices. Pocket-sized
MP3 players are incorporating video and gaming functions. The
conversion from analog to digital television is accelerating
and will gain momentum over the next several years,
especially now that Congress appears ready to set a date
certain for the U.S. transition to digital broadcasting.
Consumers are now driving most of the advances in personal
computers, which have become the hub of home technology.

Fast-growing consumer markets are expanding demand for
leading-edge products for digital signal processing, flash
memory, and power management.”
