Gartner pointed out that the 2009 global semiconductor revenue declined $ 29,000,000,000
In Electronic Infomation Category: R | on November 1, 2010
Gartner Semiconductor Stephan Ohr, research director, said: "The first quarter of 2009, a sharp decline in semiconductor revenue, which continued to deteriorate from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008. While in 2009 First quarter revenues rose slightly, then led to subsequent significant increase. "
However, for the semiconductor industry, since 2009, is still the Internet bubble burst in 2001, the year has been one of the worst income. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the global economic recession led to the time when the global semiconductor revenue fell 5.4%. Then Mr.
Stephan Ohr says: "As the market recovers from recession in 2010, semiconductor vendors need to track end user consumption patterns, demand for proven whether the interruption, or whether additional demand exceeds production capacity. not all semiconductor manufacturers feel the recession and MAX3100EEE price and recovery are the same. the personal computer market is the first rebound of the market, followed by such as mobile phones, cars and MAX3100EEE suppliers and so can reflect some of the market rebound in consumer sentiment. business spending by the economic recession, the recovery is still very slow. "
Some of the recession experienced by the semiconductor manufacturer than a number of other semiconductor manufacturers have experienced worse. For example, the first Japanese semiconductor manufacturers have suffered a heavy blow to the global economic downturn, the order reduction; followed by appreciation against the yen, making Japanese products than the United States and European products more expensive.
Despite declining revenue, Intels revenue for 18 consecutive years, the first reelected. In 2009, the companys market share increased to 14.2%.

2009, the top ten semiconductor companies, only three achieved revenue growth. Including Samsung and Hynix (Hynix) two memory manufacturer revenue growth was mainly due to the long-awaited memory prices higher. Qualcomm cellular baseband processors by capturing market share, revenue increased slightly. Ranked outside the top ten firms, within the top 25 MediaTek in Taiwan because of its brand-name mobile phone manufacturers in China in a strong position, revenue growth of 21.4%. The company is a top 25 semiconductor manufacturers only show double-digit growth in the company.
The top ten semiconductor companies in seven revenue decline, four of which income is experiencing double-digit decline. Qimonda, the memory business units losses and the sale of Infineons Wireline Communications Business lead plunged 46.5%. If the income from Infineon in 2008, minus the wired part of the income to do like comparison and 2009, then declined only 27.2% of Infineons revenues.
Memory area in 2009 years because of its occurrence in other areas the opposite occurs, and thus worthy of attention. Memory market in 2007 and has experienced revenue declines in 2008 after seeing a recovery. In previous years, DRAM makers cut capital spending, supply rejection effectively improve the price. In early 2009, NAND flash memory shortage; Then, in the second quarter of 2009, DRAM prices soaring. However, the bankruptcy of Qimonda and some weaker near collapse of the Taiwanese firms means that most DRAM makers to the cost of these companies to regain market share, and even revenue growth. Overall, the memory revenue decline in 2009, but significantly higher than the decline in the semiconductor industry to be small.
