Semico IPI - Looking to the Future

Phoenix, Arizona November 2, 2010 - It seems everywhere we turn, there is hype about how low 2011 will go. Our own opinion is that 2011 will be an above average growth year, rising 9.5% over 2010. Considering an average growth year for the semiconductor industry is 8% growth, 9.5% is pretty good.

Our forecast is based on our IPI (Inflection Point Indicator) which has been an accurate indicator of the industry's ups and downs for 15 years.

Microprocessor Trends Beyond 2010: Follow the Money

Wafer Demand: Inventories Replenishing

Phoenix, Arizona October 12, 2010 - Moore's Law continues to provide the semiconductor industry with efficiency gains as semiconductor revenues grow by 30% in 2010, units at 28%, and wafer demand up by only 21.3%.

SIP Market Consolidating, Not Weakening

Phoenix, Arizona October 5, 2010 - 2008 was forecast to be a good growth year, until external events in worldwide financial markets overtook the SIP market. The SIP industry was not immune to the market forces unleashed in 2008, declining 21.9% in 2009. However, the recovery which arrived in the second half of 2009 prevented the 3rd Party SIP from declining at an even steeper rate. It is Semico's view that the SIP market will continue to perform at rates comparable to other semiconductor markets, with 17.1% growth in 2010.

Blu-ray Beat HD-DVD. Now Can it Beat DVD?

Phoenix, Arizona September 28, 2010 - The recession of 2008 and 2009 impacted the entire semiconductor industry, including a relatively new market for chips: Blu-ray Players. A fledgling technology that had just defeated the HD-DVD format in 2008, Blu-ray had a difficult time gaining traction in its early years due to limited Blu-ray disc content and a high ASP compared to DVD Players. Recently, Blu-ray's luck has started to turn around. Blu-ray discs are selling better than ever, internet movie downloads are starting to flatten, and over 290 million DTVs are expected to sell in 2014.
