According to the statistics of World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor industry sales revenue was 406.69 billion US dollars, up by the year-on-year according to the market demand soared by the market in 2017. With the sales revenue of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars, 20.6%; American semiconductor industry association (SIA) statistics reported that the global semiconductor revenue of 412.2 billion US dollars, an increase of 21.6%; Gartner statistics (Gartner) global semiconductor revenues of 4197.7 billion US dollars, an increase of 22.2%; IC Insights statistics Estimated income of 435.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 20%, etc., which has become a historical record of the past 2018. How the world's semiconductor industry in the year? 2017 is certainly the peak of the silicon cycle in 2018 will gradually return to , The world's major industry associations and consulting agencies to make a preliminary assessment of this development concluded that in 2018 the world semiconductor industry sales growth of about 7.5% on average, global sales of about 4411-444 billion US dollars, is a promising Years.
2018 World semiconductor industry sales revenue forecast Jssia finishing (2018.2.19) 2018 business opportunities where there is a research consulting company introduced 2018 semiconductor products in the world more robust product development and play a greater role in promoting the industry have : 1. Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with market sales of US $ 72.9 billion to US $ 79.2 billion in 2017 (there are reported global memory markets of US $ 124 billion and US $ 132 billion in 2017). In 2018, due to the digging of virtual currency According to Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute, 2018 DRAM is the price of full Yang, DRAM output is expected to increase by 20%, the average price can be about another 3 percent up.At the same time as the world in 3D NAND Flash on the amount of out, the growth rate dropped back, but also a normal gradual return 2. Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), supply the same tension in 2018. Due to the lack of supply of upstream materials, the international large The plant competed in the field of high gross margins (automotive electronics), with no time to address the PC and 3C categories, resulting in a shortage of supply in the market and some room for production of 8-inch, 6-inch wire in mainland China. But will continue to rise in price, depending on the rising cost of materials and self-digestion to reduce the pressure on operating conditions 3. Microcontroller (MCU) market a little nervous, because manufacturers into the automotive electronics and industrial control market, to MCU production Manufacturers have some opportunities for growth. 4. Passive component components after the shortage through to the process of price increases in 2017, 2018 can still be extended. 5. PCB due to reduced upstream materials, tight supply, especially in the copper foil substrate a wave of rise Tide. 6. Silicon wafer prices in 2017 so that the semiconductor market a number of stunning, in 2018 many fabs in China are gradually put into operation (especially in the second half of 2018), the market lack of 12-inch wafers Which could rise another 20% in 2018. 7. Semiconductor Equipment, According to SEMI: Up to $ 56 Billion in 2017, Up 35.6% YoY, Up to $ 63 Billion in 2018, Up 12.5% YoY According to VLSI estimates, The world market for semiconductor devices was $ 70.4 billion in 2017, up 30.6% from the previous year; the world market for semiconductor devices was $ 73.5 billion in 2018, an increase of 4.4% from the previous year, and the demand for mainland China was second (behind South Korea), with 8-inch devices Out of stock for lack of goods, which to the Chinese mainland Equipment manufacturers a catch-up opportunity 8. There are also a number of products to support industry growth in 2018, such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in the areas of IGBTs, sensors and product applications ), Automotive electronics, internet of things, cloud computing, big data and so on are also major users of the industrial development in 2018.
