ITIS released the yearly forecast of semiconductor industry , by 2013 the output value of Taiwan's IC industry is expected to come to 17,856 billion yuan, representing a growth of 9.3% over 2012. IC design industry is expected to rely on the growth of smart phones and tablet PCs, as well as advanced process import, in 2013 output value is expected to reach 4,507 billion yuan, annual growth is estimated to be of 9.5%, an increase of more than IC manufacturing and IC packaging and testing industry ; consumer electronics are still off-season except for the first quarter of reaction, ITIS estimated in first quarter Taiwan's semiconductor industry downturn of 5.4% is estimated to reach 3,926 billion yuan. IC packaging and testing industry in the face of greater than usual inventory correction, the first quarter of the output value of quarter decline was more than one. ITIS believes that the prospect of the global IC design industry is bright, Smartphone, Tablet, is expected to set off a wave of growth trend. In 2013, the advanced technology of Taiwan's IC design industry has begun to enter the 28 nm, and the supply chain has been gradually extended to international brands. Wafer demand of smart handheld devices in the future, the cautiously optimistic outlook. The expected output value of Taiwan's IC design industry in 2013 will be 4,507 billion yuan, representing a growth of 9.5% over 2012.The ITIS pointed out this year smart handheld devices such as smart phones and tablet computers,are still popular products, the domestic IC manufacturing is also expected to rain equitably. Foundry side, 28nm process products are in short supply, prompting foundry continuously improve capital expenditure by the end of 2013, 20nm process production carve out a new wave of demand for advanced process capacity is expected to bring up Taiwan foundry growth of 10.1%. Part of the memory, the memory manufacturers have gradually trial production action type DRAM, is expected to catch the growth of the mobile communications market demand ,it is expected Taiwan memory manufacturing will have a growth of 5.9% for the year. Taiwan IC manufacturing output in 2013 is estimated to be 9,054 billion yuan, representing a growth of 9.2% over 2012.
