IHSiSuppli market research firm reports that in 2013 , the scale of double-digit growth in the semiconductor market of home appliances , which indicates that the digital home and networking industry is booming.It is reported that in 2013 appliance semiconductor market growth of 12% , reached $ 2.6 billion last year, the figure was $ 2.3 billion last year, rose 6.8 %.Today, the largest semiconductor products for air conditioners and washing appliances , home appliances accounted for 60% of both the total semiconductor market revenue . IHSiSuppli DineshKithany analyst said: "The strong performance of the appliance industry led to the prosperity of the semiconductor market, consumers in emerging market countries are willing to spend more money to buy home appliances, as well as the popularity of the concept of environmental health appliances in the increasing use of electronics . equipment , let appliance semiconductor market benefited . "IHSiSuppli expects the next until 2015 , home appliance semiconductor market will maintain double-digit growth since then , despite lower growth , but can also reach 9%. According IHSiSuppli forecasts, appliances scale semiconductor market will reach $ 3.8 billion in 2017. Currently , most of the appliance 8 microcontroller devices . IHS predicts that the next four years will be quickly upgraded to a microcontroller 32 , which should benefit from the electronic display , touch technology , sensors, and conversion technology applied in home appliances increasingly widespread .
