Semiconductor Industry Outlook Continues to Brighten
January 17, 2014
Earlier this week I tried to read the tea leaves to see how 2014 might shape up for the global semiconductor industry. Since then, some other data points have percolated up that suggest even more positive trends for the months ahead for semiconductor vendors as well as EDA and IP companies.
The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics released numbers forecasting 4.1 percent growth in semiconductor sales in 2014 (to $317 billion) and another 3.4 percent rise in 2015 to $328 billion. Those numbers will pile on top of last year's solid results, which are expected to come in at $304 billion, up 4.4 percent. These are encouraging numbers, although they're more conservative than we heard from Semico President Jim Feldhan.
