According to market tracking reports from the semiconductor manufacturing IHSiSuppli supply , the global economic downturn has brought pressure which will result in annual global semiconductor revenue contraction, taking the industry last year recorded an increase. Semiconductor revenue will be $ 303 billion this year, down 2.3% from $ 310 billion in 2011. This stark contrast with an increase of 1.3% last year. The global economy is still the most critical factor affecting the semiconductor industry in the next two years, especially since the chip industry is highly dependent on consumer spending. Consumers believe their own financial situation is stable or improve the previous, consumer spending is likely to remain weak. In 2012 semiconductor inventory reduction is a serious problem. To the expected decline in a complete reversal from the expected growth, it indicates that the semiconductor industry, the situation becomes very bad, sales facing downward pressure is not relieved. Although the final data is not yet released, but the industry is widespread concern that, if the economic situation did not be improved, the overall semiconductor industry's operating income is likely to decline by 3-5% this year. Overall, at third-quarter chip shipments are believed to have only 0.5% growth over the second quarter. The fourth quarter of this year, shipments will behave worse, is expected to shrink by 12% qoq. The prospects will be improved next year,it is now expected chip shipments in the first quarter of next year will have an increase of 11%, when the manufacturers will achieve a balance between inventory and demand. Away from the end of the first quarter of next year, but now there are more than three months, unexpected events may still occur, and further damage the fragile growth prospects.
