TOKYO (Nikkei)-Global demand for microchips is expected to grow 6.6% in 1999 and 13.6% in 2000, the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics reported Tuesday. That contrasts sharply with its estimate of a 10.9% decline in 1998 to $122.2 billion on a shipment basis.

The forecasts for the next two years are about 20% below the June predictions of an international statistics body representing 37 global chip makers, however.

WSTS forecasts the market for memory chips will expand 8% in 1999, 19% in 2000 and 22% in 2001. These are the highest growth rates among all semiconductor sectors.

Japanese chip shipments are forecast to grow just 0.8% next year, after falling 22.6% this year - the worst performance among major producing countries.

Almost all major chip fabricators in Japan, Europe, the U.S., South Korea and Taiwan are members of WSTS.
