The United States market research company IDC releases a report to say today,AT89LP214 Suppliers, in 2012 the global semiconductor revenues will grow by 4.6%, to $315000000000;2013will grow 6.2%, to $335000000000; from 2011 to 2016 in the compound annual growth rate is estimated to be 4.8%, reach 380000000000 dollar to 2016.
Although the global economic turmoil — the European debt crisis spread, GDP global slowdown, the BRICs economic slowdown — but the smart mobile phone, computer, automotive electronics and other products for semiconductor demand was still strong. In addition, the market for Windows 8operating system and the release later this year of next generation intelligent mobile phone is also looking forward, this will be accelerated in 2013and that in the next few years, growth of income of semiconductor.
 As we predicted earlier this year, the middle of last year ‘s semiconductor industry cyclical downturn in 2012second quarter bottom.” IDC Semiconductor Research Manager Mary Venkatesan ( Mali Venkatesan ) said,” the enterprise begins to increase productivity, semiconductor products supply tight situation to alleviate stage by stage, including using the most advanced technology of intelligent mobile phone application processor and independent PC graphics processor. In addition, the semiconductor industry is also from the Thailand floods in hard disk and PC supply shortage in recovery. Industry leader Intel ( micro-blog )22nanotechnology is developing fast, while the wafer and storage company also prepared20nanotechnology development.”
 Despite the news that the semiconductor industry will be strong growth, but Venkatesan still points out, because macroscopical economy is weak, the recent growth will be slower than previous semiconductor cycle.
Subregional perspective, Europe still weak. In the United States, consumer and automotive market still show strong demand for semiconductors. While China, India and Brazil’s GDP growth has slowed down, but the intelligent mobile phone, computer and laptop needs are still very strong.
IDC expects the semiconductor market, growth in the fourth quarter of 2012, and will continue into the first quarter of 2013. The next wave of semiconductor demand factors include: Windows 8 flat computer publishing, enterprise IT spending increases, the next generation intelligent mobile phone, computer and game platform, as well as on global macroeconomic situation of expected improvement. And after 2013will accelerate the rebound.
IDC on the semiconductor market forecasts as follows:
2012- the calculation of the semiconductor industry income will realize1.5% year-on-year growth between 2011 and2016, the compound annual growth rate of 3.7%. Among them, the mobile PC industry 2012semiconductor revenue growth of 5.9% between 2011 and2016, the compound annual growth rate of 9.6%.
2012- the communications industry semiconductor income will realize7.2% year-on-year growth between 2011 and2016, the compound annual growth rate of 4.7%. Among them,4G mobile phone semiconductor revenue growth of 579% in 2012,2011 to2016, the compound annual growth rate of 97%.
2011- and the same, flat panel computer, electronic reader, HD receiver and LED/ LCD TV’s growth will remain above average level. DVD player, DVD recorders, portable media players and game machines and other traditional equipment sales will continue to shrink. Overall,2012semiconductor income will realize4.4% year-on-year growth between 2011 and2016, the compound annual growth rate of 5%.
 - benefit from global on the vehicle and the vehicle electronic equipment and strong demand, the automotive industry in 2012semiconductor income will realize9.7% year-on-year growth between 2011 and2016, the compound annual growth rate will reach 7.2%.
In semiconductor devices, microprocessors, ASSP and micro controller revenue growth will be higher than the overall level of. But the memory ( especially the DRAM ) will continue to appear negative growth.
 - in the Asia-Pacific, in the global semiconductor income ratio will still continue to grow. The 2012income will realize7% year-on-year growth between 2011 and2016, the compound annual growth rate of 6.4%.
