Global semiconductor sales increased slightly by 0.4% in 2011 to record high

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced on the 6th that in December 2011, global semiconductor sales averaged 23.83 billion U.S. dollars for the three months, which was 5.5% lower than the previous month’s revised value of 25.22 billion U.S. dollars. Compared with the same period of the previous year, Declined by 5.3%. Q4 sales decreased 7.7% to US$71.5 billion. The accumulated annual sales amounted to 299.5 billion U.S. dollars, continuing to hit a record high, but the growth rate was only 0.4%.

According to SIA, the three-month moving average sales in Europe in December decreased by 15.8% year-on-year to US$2.78 billion, and the reduction was still the highest in all markets. Japan followed by a year-on-year decrease of 9.5% to US$3.59 billion. Asia Pacific and the Americas decreased by 1.6% and 4.6% respectively. The first two months of monthly reductions were also in Europe and Japan, with reductions of 8.2% and 5.9% respectively.

Statistics show that last year the semiconductor industry showed strong performance in several areas, including optoelectronics, sensors, and starters. The growth of microprocessors was also robust. The market's smallest Sensor and starter grew 15.5% to 8 billion U.S. dollars, ranking the highest in all fields. Driven by image sensors and other devices, the optoelectronic semiconductor market has grown by 6.4% to US$23.1 billion, with applications involving mobile phones and digital cameras. MOS microprocessors have an annual growth rate of 7.5%, and the market size of 65.2 billion US dollars is second only to logic ICs.

Brian Toohey, president of SIA, said that despite the natural disasters in Japan and Thailand and the weakening of the global economy last year, the semiconductor industry still showed resilience. SIA estimates that the semiconductor industry will further recover this year due to the increase in demand in various terminal markets and delays in the supply chain sales in the second half of last year. Many large manufacturers announced that new equipment and R&D investment plans are expected to increase the industry's long-term growth expectation. .

EETimes reported on the 6th, according to the data released by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization (WSTS), among the regions, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific grew by 2.8% and 2.5% respectively. European and Japanese manufacturers shrank by 1.7% and 7.9% respectively. . The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest proportion of sales of 164.03 billion US dollars, followed by the United States with 56.2 billion US dollars.
