Worldwide Chip Sales to Rise 15% in 1999, Dataquest Says Bloomberg News February 2, 1999, 6:50 a.m. PT Worldwide Chip Sales to Rise 15% in 1999, Dataquest Says San Jose, California, Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Worldwide semiconductor sales are expected to rise 15 percent in 1999 to $154.5 billion after slumping for the past three years, according to market researcher Dataquest Inc. Much of that increase will come in the second half, as people buy new computers to replace the machines they fear may fail because of the so-called Year 2000 bug. ''The third quarter of 1999 should bring good semiconductor growth -- helped in part by 'protective ordering' in advance of potential Year 2000 problems,'' Dataquest analyst Ron Bohn said in a statement. Older computers could crash on Jan. 1 because of a flaw that prevents software from distinguishing between 1900 and 2000. Dataquest, a unit of Gartner Group Inc., also expects that memory-chip prices will rise. That could benefit companies such as Micron Technology Inc., the biggest U.S. memory-chip maker.
