Foundries Play Semiconductor Survivor in 2010
Although the global semiconductor foundry market is set to make a welcome return to growth in 2010 after a terrible 2009, the recent downturn is likely to thin the ranks of the top-tier pure-play suppliers down to just three major players in the future, according to iSuppli. more
One-Two Punch Knocks Wireless Semiconductor Market Back to 2003
The combination of the global recession and excess inventory has set back the wireless semiconductor market to levels not seen since 2003, according to iSuppli Corp. Global revenue for wireless semiconductors, the majority of which are used in mobile handsets, is set to decline to $39.4 billion in 2009, down a stunning 26.7 percent from $53.8 billion in 2008. This is the lowest level of annual revenue for the wireless semiconductor industry since it generated $34.7 billion in 2003. more
