MCU End Use Markets: Where is the Growth in a Changing World?

Microcontrollers (MCUs) are a class of chips that we use everyday without even thinking about it. We take them for granted, yet they make our lives so much easier. These smart chips help control our hard disk drives, printers, ATMs, TVs, MP3 players, refrigerators and other computing and consumer devices. Who can live without their cell phone or their DVR? What about their car? The largest market for MCU sales, automotive, has had a major impact as car manufacturers have seen strong world wide resurgence in sales in 2010. Automotive MCU sales grew 46.2% in 2010.

2011 Semiconductor Capex: Big Spending, Trouble Looming

The semiconductor industry experienced an outstanding recovery in 2010. Revenues grew 32%, while units grew 25%. Manufacturers responded to the sharp increase in demand by spending almost $50 billion, a 91% increase over 2009, on capital equipment, buildings and land. In 2011, Semico's forecast for the industry is an 8.3% increase in revenues and a 13.5% increase in units. Increasing economic uncertainty due to the political turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East, combined with rising gas prices, will help bring the industry back to a more normal growth pattern this year.

MCU Memory Trends: How Much and What Kind, 4Q 2009 Update

2009 was a rough year for most semiconductors, and MCUs were no exception. A major reason for the 2009 MCU sales decline was a sharp drop in overall average selling prices comounded with the severe drop in end-use demand, especially in the automotive market. The high rate of ASP decline was indicative of the tough economic conditions impacting the semiconductor industry:

• Chip vendors slashed prices in order to move product.
• OEMs reduced inventories, thus impacting the unit shipments.
• The supply chain and production pipeline were reduced considerably in 1H 2009.
