Dataquest Expects Longer Slump in Chip Industry May 10, 2001 (SEOUL) -- U.S. market research company Dataquest Inc. forecasted a longer-than-expected slump in the global chip industry, and expects a recovery in two years. The market researcher said overall sales of the semiconductor industry are expected to decline 16.7 percent to US$226.2 billion this year, while memory products are likely to shrink by a deeper 26 percent to US$40 billion. Dataquest downgraded its outlook for the chip industry three times over the past few months. (Maeil Business Newspaper, Korea)
