日前,半导体产业协会(SIA)将其对2003年全球半导体销售增长幅度的预期下调了近一半儿,原因是信息技术投资疲软、非典以及对伊拉克的军事打击。在发布的年中预期报告中,SIA称,今年全球芯片的销售额将达到1549亿美元,增长幅度为10.1%,它在2002年11月份时预期这一速度为19.8%。预计2003年-2006年间的年平均增长幅度为9.8%,到2006年半导体市场将增长到2000年以上的水平。 SIA预期,明年,全球芯片的销售将达到 Recently, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) cut its forecast of global semiconductor sales growth in 2003 by nearly half, due to weak investment in information technology, SARS and military strikes against Iraq. In its midyear forecast, SIA said sales of chips worldwide will reach 154.9 billion U.S. dollars this year, up 10.1% and expect it to hit 19.8% in November 2002. The average annual growth rate of 2003-2006 is estimated to be 9.8%. By 2006, the semiconductor market will grow to over 2000 levels. SIA expects next year, the global chip sales will reach
