IEI held a seminar on Looking Up at 2018 Industry Trends in the morning of the 7th. Pengmao Rong, research manager of the semiconductor industry, said that in 2017 the global economic growth will rise and the storage price soars, driving the world's semiconductor output to nearly 500 billion U.S. dollars Off, the growth rate of nearly 2 percent.If the memory items deducted about about 9% growth rate, you can see the memory of 2017 on the overall semiconductor market, how much contribution to the contribution of the market value.
However, it is a pity that Taiwan's contribution to the growth of memory output has been modest, as the surge in memory prices and the high market share of South Korea, dominated by Samsung and SK Hynix's two memory suppliers, , South Korea's semiconductor output will surpass Taiwan in 2017. Taiwan, meanwhile, is the first memory storage plant in China to be merged by Micron, affecting the reduction in memory output, reducing the overall semiconductor output growth in 2017 and falling behind South Korea for the first time The third largest, the proportion also from 18.1% in 2016, reduced to 16.3% in 2017.
Peng Maorong further said that the merger of Taiwan with Huachen by Micron, the recession of the IC design industry as a whole, and the slight growth of the foundry industry are the main factors affecting the overall output value of the semiconductor industry. US dollar-denominated, in 2017 Taiwan's semiconductor output value of 80.5 billion yuan, 88.6 billion yuan behind South Korea, while the United States is still the amount of 216.6 billion yuan in the world's semiconductor output value leader.
