IC Insights Shows Dip in Analog Circuits
September 20, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The midyear update to The McClean Report, which provides market forecasts on the IC industry, shows that 2007 will see the analog IC market's first decline since 2001. However, this market is expected to grow again in 2008, dropping 2% this year while increasing 15% the next. IC Insights points to inventory corrections in portable electronic units, particularly cellular phones, as reason for the slide. Price erosion is also a factor.
The McClean Report shows growth in only a few analog IC application-specific markets, accounting for over 61% of sales for the entire analog IC market. Standard analog ICs are expected to grow only 4%, down from an average of 8% annually since 2002. On the positive side, 20072011 forecast period shows expected growth of IC revenues at a 6.2% CAGR annually, reaching a record high of $49.9 billion in 2011.
IC Insights holds its annual Fall Forecast Seminar, September 20, 2007, in Sunnyvale, Calif., to discuss and interpret The McClean Report for 2007.
