Despite the increasingly negative predictions of semiconductor forecasters, predictable change in the semiconductor industry comes from monitoring capital investment. From this, we can predict the supply side of the supply/demand balance. Macro-economic factors tend to drive the demand side and these are currently uncertain.
But there is a big change in semiconductor supply characteristics in progress today and it will have a significant impact (Figure 1 below).
