| Global semiconductor sales in the second half than the first half increased by 18% |
| U.S. research firm released ICInsights predicted that the second half of 2009 semiconductor market will recover. Expects global semiconductor sales in the second half than the first half of 2009 grew by 18%, global semiconductor foundry sales to an increase of 43%.
The company said the global economy and the semiconductor market in the first quarter of 2009 has bottomed out. The first half of 2009 due to the impact of electronic products affected by lower sales of seasonal factors, semiconductor inventory adjustment and economic recession and other reasons, the results are more sluggish, but it is expected to achieve positive growth in the second half. Electronic products sales increased due to seasonal factors, semiconductors inventory replenishment and its global GDP growth will play a catalytic role.
ICInsights predicted global semiconductor sales in the second half of 2009 than in the first half increased 18 % to $ 99 billion . Average selling prices in addition to outside electronic products due to increased seasonal sales also contributed to the relationship . The second half of 2009 are expected global semiconductor foundry sales will be up 43 percent to $ 9.9 billion . ICInsights said, " It is noteworthy that worldwide sales for the second quarter of 2009 reached about 2 times the previous quarter ."
ICInsights that " the downturn in the semiconductor industry under the background of the worst hit ," Semiconductor device vendors to take a break in the second half of 2009 . Because the semiconductor industry equipment investment will be in the second half of 2009 increased by 28 % compared with the first half. Major semiconductor manufacturers ICInsights survey equipment is scheduled to be in 2009 the majority of investment put into the second half of 2009 . For example , Hynix Semiconductor (HynixSemiconductor) 09 -year investment in terms of equipment , 30% for the first half of the remaining 70% is planned for the second half.
The second half of 2009 is expected to substantially increase shipments of electronic products for mobile phones and personal computers. Phone shipments in 2009 are expected in the second half than the first half rose 18 percent to 500 million 95 million , PC shipments grew 15 % to reach 100 million 47.9 million units． | | |  |
