世界半导体贸易统计组织(WSTS)日前调降了对2012年全球芯片市场成长率的预测值,由原先的7.6%,更新为2.6%;不过该组织将2013年的芯片市场成长率预测,由原先的5.4%提升为5.8%。WSTS现在预测,全球半导体市场2011年营收将为3,020亿美元,成长率1.3%,与其他预测数据差不多(EETimes美国版估计2011年全球芯片市场成长率在0～2%之间);2012年全球半导体市场营收则预估为3,010亿美元、较前一年成长2.6%,该市场2013年成长率则估计为5.8%,营收规模3,280亿美元。 The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization (WSTS) recently lowered its forecast for the 2012 global chip market growth rate from the previous 7.6% to 2.6%; however, the group revised the chip market growth forecast for 2013 from the previous 5.4% to 5.8%. WSTS now predicts that the global semiconductor market will have revenues of $ 302 billion in 2011, a 1.3% growth rate, similar to other forecast data (EETimes USA estimates that the global chip market will grow by 0-2% in 2011); 2012 Global semiconductor market revenue is estimated at 301 billion US dollars, up 2.6% over the previous year, the market in 2013 was estimated at 5.8% growth rate, revenues of 328 billion US dollars.
