According to the latest data from the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced the global semiconductor industry, just getting the spring of 2014 on brisk performance , January sales to break $ 26 billions. SIA statistics show that January global semiconductor sales growth of 8.8% over last year , reaching $ 26.28 billion ; This industry outlook is a good sign. The January sales hit a new record high , while the growth rate is the highest in three years . SIA 's report did not specifically mention the source of the semiconductor market growth momentum , but the association Analysts had previously said things (IoT) ─ ─ especially networked automobile and home appliances such as thermostats, positive incentive to market demand and drive sales .While the above statistics for the 2014 offers an optimistic start, but sales in January compared with December 2013 is still showing a 1.4% decline ; But SIA said that this is a normal seasonal variations. SIA statistics are quoted from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS). SIA statistics point out this is not the only semiconductor industry will be developed because of things upbeat research reports ; in February , market research firm IHS forecasts published reports that the volume of global networked devices will reach 60 million units this year , because consumers are being replacement of traditional mobile phones and other electronic products, with networking enabled device procurement smartphones, tablets , smart TVs , etc., will therefore lift related chip sales. In the personal computer (PC) sales were declining trend , demand from other integrated devices for the industry is undoubtedly a shot in the arm . BrianToohey SIA president and CEO , said: " Compared with the same period last year , semiconductor sales in January in most regional markets as well as in almost all product categories showed growth areas , which means that in 2014 the next time the force of sustainable growth . "In each region , the Americas Best performance semiconductor market , sales in January compared with the same period last year growth of 17.3% ; Europe and the Asia-Pacific market is also showing growth , only the poor performance of the Japanese market , January sales decline of 4.7%. In another report by Deutsche Bank (Deutsche Bank) analysts published , although also think January global semiconductor sales figures for 2014 is optimistic start, but the overall industry outlook remains cautious : " SIA statistics in 2013 , after the ups and downs of good and bad , the last full year achieved a 5% growth rate, broadly in line with our estimates ; 2014 semiconductor industry has made a good start , we predict full- year growth rate of at least 8%.
