Semiconductor market in 2008 by 31% in the worst recession in Taiwan
Semiconductor market in 2008 by 31% in the worst recession in Taiwan
In 2008 the global semiconductor equipment market reached 29.52 billion U.S. dollars, 31% decrease compared to 2007, China Taiwan greatly reduced capital spending by semiconductor factory more than half, is the most serious regional recession.
International Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Industry Association (SEMI) last (26) announced the global semiconductor equipment market in 2008 reached 29.52 billion U.S. dollars, 31% decrease compared to 2007, China Taiwan greatly reduced capital spending by semiconductor factory more than half, is the most serious recession area.
In addition, SEMI statistics semiconductor materials market in 2008 reached 42.7 billion U.S. dollars, representing a small increase of about 0.4% the previous year, mainly due to higher polysilicon and gold effects of market size upwards.
SEMI announced yesterday the global semiconductor equipment and materials market statistics. Last year, the global semiconductor equipment market reached 29.52 billion U.S. dollars, compared with 42.77 billion U.S. dollars in 2007 decreased 31%, although the 2009 SEMI unpublished estimates, however, including Applied Materials, equipment manufacturers, including most of the view that the market probably will be this year further reduced from 45 to 50 percent, leaving only the scale of about 150 billion U.S. dollars.
The impact of the financial tsunami last year, the semiconductor plant are greatly reduced capital expenditure and investment in equipment, SEMI said last year China Taiwan wafer foundries, DRAM factory, packaging and testing works, are more than half of large cutting capital spending, so equipment market last year, only remaining 5.01 billion U.S. dollars, the annual reduction rate of 53% of the highest in the world, and equipment spending fell to third by the first ranking.
Although Japan has also been affected semiconductor recession, but including Toshiba, Renesas Technology (Renesas) and other plants continue to be based IDM progress expanding production capacity of 12-inch plant, so the reduction rate of about 24.4% market remained at 7.04 billion U.S. dollars, into
Procurement of equipment for the largest countries. As China is actively developing the semiconductor industry, but led by SMIC Wuhan Plant, Shenzhen factory 12-inch plants are slowing down the construction plan, SMIC Shanghai and Beijing plant will stop the plant capacity expansion, the equipment market dropped to 1.89 billion dollars, the annual reduction rate of 35.3%, decline rate second only to Taiwan.
Although the semiconductor plant greatly reduced capital spending, capacity utilization is also affected by the economic downturn has declined, but last year the global semiconductor materials market has increased rather than decreased the size to 42.7 billion U.S. dollars, smaller than the previous year by about 0.4%. In fact, the material was no substantial market decline, primarily because raw material prices have soared in the last year, including the price of polysilicon in the third quarter of last year reached the high point, per kilogram of spot prices, the point of view 350 U.S. dollars, but now has dropped to 100 U.S. dollars, The great amount of gold packaging factory, the price has remained high in more than 900 U.S. dollars.
A regional perspective, because Japan is one of the producers of polysilicon and silicon, and Intel, AMD and other processor boards are manufactured in Japan, so retaining its position as the throne of the world's largest semiconductor materials market, Taiwan IC packaging and testing plant to benefit from global market share of 7 percent, the worldwide demand for packaging materials, the highest, so is the second largest semiconductor materials market.
