Gartner Expects Gloomy Global Chip Market in 2001 SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Global semiconductor revenue grew by a record 32.5 percent to $226 billion in 2000 but the outlook for the industry this year is gloomy, research company Gartner Dataquest said on Monday. Gartner believes the industry will exit 2001 at $188 billion, a 16.7 percent decline in revenue from the lofty levels of 2000. Worldwide semiconductor revenue in 1999 was $170.7 billion. Slow global recovery is anticipated in 2002 with revenues growing 13.2 percent to $213 billion, it said in a statement. In the Asia Pacific region, the semiconductor market grew 33.1 percent in 2000 and achieved revenues of $57 billion. It continued to be the second largest chip-consuming region after North America last year. Gartner did not provide 2001 revenue estimates for the Asia Pacific region.
