2017 OSD will be higher than the average level of growth, a record high in six years

According to IC Insights market research latest data show, optoelectronics, sensors and actuators discrete semiconductor (OSD) more than a dozen product categories will be higher than the average level in 2017 growth, reaching a record high in six years.

The OSD report updates show that the sales of the diversified OSD market in three segments are expected to be driven by factors such as the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) market, increased levels of intelligent embedded controls, and supplemental inventory of commodity discrete devices 2017 growth of 10.5% to $ 75 billion, a record high. As shown below, IC Insights based on the updated sales forecast in 2017, the five major OSD product category of the annual growth rate was compared since 2017, in addition to a major OSD Product LED lighting market, other areas of growth are higher than the average level.The main reason is in solid-state lighting applications, light-emitting diode (LED) prices continue to decline due.

OSD three segments of the market in this year's sales have achieved growth, since 2014 is the first time at the same time, it is expected in 2017 will be since 2011, all three OSD market are a record high sales year.

Although the global recession in 2008-2009 led to the semiconductor industry downturn, but the strong return in 2010, double-digit growth in 2010 to achieve the maximum increase in OSD sales together. OSD report update that the current OSD revenue is expected to 2018 to achieve a record high for the ninth consecutive year 80.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 7.4% over 2017.

After a slight decline of 3.6% in 2016, the optoelectronic market is recovering this year, benefiting from strong growth in double-digit double-digit growth, with sales expected to grow 8.1% in 2017 to $ 36.7 billion, a record high Among them, CMOS image sensor growth of 22%, optical sensor growth of 19%, optical network laser transmitter increased by 15%, infrared equipment increased by 14%.

At the same time, record revenue from sensors and actuators is being achieved through the expansion of Internet of Things and new automation in a variety of systems, including more automatic driving in the car. The 2017 sensor / actuator sales are expected to Up 17.5% to $ 13.9 billion, the fastest growing market share since 2010. It is expected that sales of sensors and actuators for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) will also grow by 18.5% this year to a record level of 116 The actuator was up 20 percent, pressure sensors (including MEMS microphone chips) grew 18 percent and accelerator / yaw sensors grew 17 percent.

The commercialized discrete device market is booming in 2017 and global sales are expected to reach $ 24.1 billion, up 10.3%, exceeding the current record of $ 23.4 billion in 2011. Among them, sales of power transistors are expected to grow in 2017 9.0%, reaching a record $ 14 billion, accounting for more than half of the share of discrete device market share.
