Taiwan's IC design sector in the first half of this year, pushing up the TAIEX is undoubtedly one of the hero to break 9,000 points, however, with the second quarter of the base period is not short off-season booster, scramble signals wafer capacity overheating occurs, IC design industry has also appeared in the third quarter is not busy season noise. Topology Research Institute yesterday (24) days straight off, the output value of Taiwan's IC design of the third quarter of this year will be down 5% compared to the second quarter, a slight rise to the fourth quarter, the second half of the output value of about $ 8.07 billion, better than the first half, about a decrease of 2.1%. Topology analysis, the first half of this year from the mainland and other emerging markets, 4K2K TV penetration increase, driven by the World Cup three major consumer electronics driven by strong demand, Taiwan's IC design companies including smart phones chip driver IC, TV SoC (SoC) shipments surge, enhance revenues continued to climb, also formed in the semiconductor industry is not short off a rare phenomenon. According to TRI statistics, in the first quarter of Taiwan's IC design value of about $ 4.04 billion in the second quarter amounted to $ 4.21 billion, the output value for the first half amounted to $ 8.25 billion, representing growth of 13.6% in $ 7.26 billion, in the first half of the growth rate performance much better than the overall performance of the global IC design. Global IC design output in the first half of this year was $ 40.05 billion, compared with last year's $ 37.4 billion, only about 7% of harvest. In the second half, although the traditional peak season for the electronics industry, but TRI said that the mainland in June to reduce 3G smart phone subsidies, has become the biggest variable in the next season, while the mainland is currently unable to grasp the 4G mobile phone sales, will be about Taiwan factory revenue of the key. Topology further analysis, the second half of global output growth momentum IC design, from the mainland to accelerate 4G, will drive 4GLTE, 802.11ac and high specification FHD driver IC IC penetration is increasing, as well as Apple and Google's new product is about to come out, plus 4G on coping with things such demand, communications infrastructure and data center continued expansion. However, due to Taiwan's IC design Goes get bigger, in the key growth markets participants have focused a few companies, or fab night than the international card, plus the first half of the base of the booster, so estimates of Taiwan's IC design the performance of the industry in the second half will lag behind the global. TRI estimates, the output value of Taiwan's IC design in the second half of the approximately $ 8.07 billion, representing a decrease of 3.2%, a slight decrease of 2.1 percent compared with the first half. The global value of about $ 46.14 billion, compared with $ 44.8 billion for the same period last year, an increase of 3% over the first half increased by 15%.
