IDC Press Release 

SAN MATEO, Calif.– Worldwide semiconductor revenues increased more than 3.7% year over year to $301 billion in 2011, according to the latest version of the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Semiconductor Applications Forecaster (SAF). The industry weathered the macroeconomic uncertainties in the U.S and Europe, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, China’s slow down in the second half of the year, and floods in Thailand. Meanwhile, device applications, such as smartphones, media tablets and e-readers, automotive infotainment, notebook PCs, datacenter servers, and wireless and wired communication infrastructure drove robust consumption of semiconductors.

IDC’s SAF tracks more than 100 semiconductor companies. Over 40 of these companies experienced year-over-year revenue growth greater than 5%, while about the same number of companies saw their revenue decline by more than 5%.

Gartner Says Worldwide Semiconductor Capital Equipment Spending to Decline 19.5 Percent in 2012

December 14th, 2011

Gartner Press Release 

Worldwide semiconductor capital equipment spending is expected to total $51.7 billion in 2012, a 19.5 percent decline from projected 2011 spending of $64.2 billion, according to Gartner, Inc.

“Natural disasters and the economy have certainly impacted the semiconductor capital equipment market in 2011, but we expect equipment spending to increase 13.7 percent in 2011,” said Klaus Rinnen, managing vice president at Gartner. “However, equipment providers will not be as lucky in 2012. The impact of the slowing macro economy, high inventories and a sluggish PC industry — due to both weak demand and the flooding in Thailand — will temper the outlook for 2012.”

Gartner Says Worldwide Semiconductor Spending to Reach $309 billion in 2012, a 2.2 Percent Increase from 2011

December 8th, 2011

Gartner Press Release 

 Worldwide semiconductor revenue is forecast to reach $309 billion in 2012, a 2.2 percent increase from 2011, according to Gartner, Inc. This outlook is down from Gartner’s previous projection in the third quarter for 4.6 percent growth in 2012. 

“With continuing concern over the future of the eurozone affecting the global economy, the high degree of uncertainty impacting spending by both consumers and enterprises looks set to continue, bringing with it significant implications for the semiconductor industry,” said Bryan Lewis, research vice president at Gartner. “The near-term forecast is being shaped not only by economic forces but by an inventory correction, manufacturing oversupply and natural disasters.”

Worldwide Semiconductor Market Grew 24% in 2010 to $283 Billion — IDC Expects 6-8% Revenue Growth in 2011

April 20th, 2011

IDC News Release, 4/20/11

Worldwide semiconductor revenues increased more than 24% year over year to $282 billion in 2010, according to the latest version of the International Data Corporation (IDC) Semiconductor Application Forecaster (SAF). The industry recovery was strong and broad last year across all market verticals, regions, and semiconductor device categories. Device applications, such as smartphones, media tablets and e-readers, automotive infotainment, notebook PCs, datacenter servers, and wireless and wired communication infrastructure, drove robust consumption of semiconductors. IDC’s SAF tracks more than 100 semiconductor companies, most of which experienced strong growth in 2010.

Intel, with total semiconductor revenues of $41.9 billion in 2010, once again was the overall market leader. Samsung was the number 2 vendor overall with revenues of $27.6 billion, which increased its semiconductor revenue market share by 2% over 2009. Rounding out the top 5 chip suppliers were Texas Instruments, Toshiba, and Hynix. Renesas Electronics, the merged company of Renesas and NEC, was the number 6 vendor overall, just missing the top 5. Together, the top 10 vendors represented 51% of the overall market revenues, an increase of 6% over 2009.

Worldwide Semiconductor Revenue Rose by More Than $70 Billion in 2010, According to Final Results by Gartner

April 18th, 2011

Gartner Press Release, 4/18/11

Total worldwide semiconductor revenue reached $299.4 billion in 2010, up $70.7 billion, or 30.9 percent from 2009, the largest dollar increase for the semiconductor industry in any one year, according to Gartner, Inc. However, the industry just fell short of the milestone $300 billion revenue threshold.

Gartner said that the top 25 semiconductor suppliers accounted for 69.1 percent of semiconductor industry revenue in 2010, and as a group, memory vendors showed the strongest growth.

“The industrywide upturn was due to the combination of pent-up demand that had built in the wake of the worldwide economic recession, and rebuilding of semiconductor inventories that were significantly depleted during the recession and early recovery,” said Peter Middleton, principal analyst at Gartner. “The market began to surge in the second half of 2009, as demand recovery in a variety of market sectors resulted in strong order rates. This continued, almost frantically, during the first half of 2010 as demand soared, prices rose, and we saw lead times expanding significantly.”
