World Markets and how things changed - remember the world is not flat afterall and there is life beyond MacDonalds, Budweiser and Walmart (flashback 1999)
The America's market will continue to remain the world's largest market in the next three years, representing approximately one-third of chip revenues worldwide. The Asia-Pacific, or non- Japan markets, is making a "very strong return" and will emerge as the second largest chip market worldwide, shedding the effects of the Asian economic crisis that contributed to the 4.4 percent decline of that market last year. Europe will be right behind Asia-Pacific and has gained momentum over the last year. The Japan market is still being impacted by the protracted domestic recession. The Asia Pacific market is doing very well due to their strong economy.
