Semiconductor recovery in 2010 more modest than it appears

摘要

While conditions in the global semiconductor industry in 2010 are set to improve dramatically compared to a dismal 2009, the reality is that this year is likely to deliver only a modest recovery when viewed from a longer-term perspective, according to iSuppli Corp.rnGlobal semiconductor revenue in 2010 is set to amount to US$279.7 billion, iSuppli predicts. While this represents a striking 21.5% rise from US$230 million in 2009, it amounts to only an 8% increase from US$258.9 billion in 2008, and a scant 2.3 expansion compared to US$273.4 billion in 2007.
