2010 has been a good year in the semi-conductor market, with the spending set to be around $38.4 billion (£24.6 billion) globally, this would mean a massive 131.2% increase on 2009 which came to $16.6 billion and 2011 is set to remain the same as 2010.This is a rebound from 2009, which was the worst year for semi-conductors, to the highest spend ever.
The increase is based on the demand for DRAM and NAND memory which are set to grow by 80 per cent and 40 per cent respectively.Of course Intel, Samsung, Toshiba and Texas Instruments are on course to remain the top four suppliers again.
This is good news, more Semi-conductors being sold means more tech for us.
