2015 global semiconductor industry revenue is expected to reUS market research firm Gartner research report released on Thursday that in 2015 the global semiconductor industry revenue is expected to reach $ 358 billion, an increase of 5.4% over 2014, but still below the previous 5.8 percent growth forecast. Growth momentum in the semiconductor market, including smartphones specific standard circuits ASSP, and DRAM and NAND flash memory chips and SSDs ultra mobile PC use. “ Since the DRAM price recovery traditional way, and the entire industry needs to consume excess holiday inventory, so semiconductor revenue growth in 2015 may be compared with 7.9% in 2014 slowed down. ” Gartner research director Joe · Ailun Sen (JonErensen) said, “ Due to a shortage of supply, DRAM prices remained strong in 2014, making 2014 one of the fastest growing categories of products, revenue increase of up to 31.7% . 2015 DRAM supply and demand may balance, estimated annual DRAM revenue growth to 7.7%. ” From the application point of view, smart phones, solid state drives, ultra-mobile PC revenue will achieve the most substantial growth. 2015, computing is still the largest semiconductor market, followed by the wireless and consumer applications. Total of view, these three types of semiconductor equipment accounted for in the total revenue will exceed two-thirds of the overall growth of the semiconductor market, the greatest impact. Industrial electronics in 2015 is expected to exceed the growth rate of the overall market and other electronic applications, an increase of 9.1%. This growth will be mainly by industrial and residential LED lighting applications, as well as to promote smart urban projects. In addition, networking and beyond will have a significant impact on sales in 2015. In addition to industrial applications, wireless applications (mainly mobile phones) semiconductor market in 2015 will be the biggest growth driver. But in 2015 the wireless applications and forecast revenue growth is expected to remain the same as the previous quarter. “ although the phone semiconductor revenue remained strong, primarily due to the popularity of smart phones and 4GLTE speed impact, but there are still some concerns: the weak sales of other electronic equipment in the field will lead to increased inventory levels, which dragged down the semiconductor revenue in 2015 first quarter . ” Ailun Sen said.
