DRAMs, microprocessors and other ICs to show growth in 2002, says SIA Semiconductor Business News (06/06/02 09:36 a.m. EST) siliconstrategies.com REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- After a horrific year in 2001, suppliers of microprocessors, DRAMs and other chip products are expected to rebound and show decent growth in 2002 and beyond, according to figures from the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) here on Wednesday. In total, the worldwide semiconductor market is expected to hit $143 billion in 2002, a modest 3.1% increase over 2001, according to the SIA. In 2003, the SIA forecasts growth of 23.2% to $177 billion, 20.9% to $213 billion in 2004, and a slowdown in growth of 0.9% to $215 billion in 2005. But this year's increases will come solely from the Asia-Pacific region, which is expected to grow 27% over last year. Other geographic regions--the Americas, Europe and Japan--are expected to show revenue declines in 2002(see June 5 story ).
