According to the International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI) of the Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) released the latest silicon industry analysis released by the end of the year show that the overall semiconductor industry to benefit from the booming situation, 2016 global silicon wafer shipments An increase of 3% in 2015, and total revenue increased slightly by 1%.

SEMI noted that shipments of silicon wafers will total 10,738 million square inches (MSI) in 2016, up from 10,434 million square feet of the market’s highest point in 2015. The total amount of revenue in 2016, the total amount of $ 7.21 billion, compared with $ 7.15 billion in 2015 revenue growth of 1%. SEMI Taiwan, said Cao Shilun, president, although the overall silicon wafer revenue due to lower unit prices and lower than the previous level. However, 2016 semiconductor silicon wafer shipments for 3 consecutive years of growth, and a record high. hmt351r7cfr8c-pb

SEMI has pointed out a few days ago, then continue to optimistic about the 2017 global semiconductor boom. The reason is because of the rise of China’s semiconductor investment, including foreign investment in recent years, as well as local industry, China will have at least 20 fab construction plan. In addition, SEMI quoted market research firm Gartner estimates that optimistic about the 2017 semiconductor industry will grow 5% to 7%, an opportunity to reach a high of $ 361.1 billion, mainly due to rising memory unit prices and the overall IC shipments Increase, restore strong growth momentum. rk73z1ettp

Therefore, SEMI said that in 2017 the overall global semiconductor industry growth will be more robust, fab investment, foundry, 3D NAND and the Chinese market investment will be the future of the main investment in kinetic energy.
