Semis: In-Stat More Optimistic Than Other Forecasters, Including Us
Semiconductor market to pass $300 billion in 2010, says In-Stat – Semiconductor Fabtech
Market research firm In-Stat has said that it expects the semiconductor industry to post revenue growth in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011, topping out at $300 billion in 2010. According to In-Stat, 2009 will be a down year due to a mild average selling price drop.
In-Stat’s 2007 estimate of 7.9% growth is counter to the other recent industry forecasts, which topped out at 2.0%. We think there will actually be a decline this year.
Disclosure: William Trent has a long position in SMH.
