TOKYO (Reuters) - The global semiconductor market will likely shrink 13.5 percent in 2001 to $176.79 billion because of sluggish demand for PCs and cellphones, the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) group said on Monday.

The forecast is a sharp downturn from a 36.8 percent jump the previous year to a record $204.39 billion and would mark the biggest decline in a decade.
