Next year, Taiwan semiconductor output value of more than 1 trillion and 200 billion yuan growth of $10%

According to the center of the Industrial Technology Research Institute of industrial economics and information services estimates, next year Taiwan semiconductor industry output is expected to reach NT $1 trillion and 200 billion, growth of 10.1%, the IC design industry is as high as 15% growth rate, performance is very brisk.

The information center analyst Jian Zhisheng pointed out that in 2006 the overall Taiwan IC industry output up to NT $1 - 225 billion 900 million yuan, compared with 10.1% growth this year, and statistics in the world semiconductor market (WSTS) and industry analysts IDC of global semiconductor market forecast of 8% growth rate next year. In the field of view, the highest growth rate for the IC design industry, up to 15.6%, the output value of 319 billion yuan; followed by IC packaging and testing industry, up to 10.8%, the output value of 257 billion yuan; the lowest is IC manufacturing, is 7.4%, the output value of 649 billion 900 million yuan.

IC design industry, Jian Zhisheng believes that although the DVD player chip gradual growth this year, but the mobile phone chip in the second half of the year A new force suddenly rises. has become the main engine of growth, the IC design industry; in addition to MediaTek mobile phone chip benefit growth, PHS mobile phone chip, Sunplus via the third generation mobile phone WCDMA chip, next year will be responsible for revenue growth to angle. He predicted that the focus of Taiwan's IC design industry will gradually shift from the information and consumer products, such as the development of mobile phones and other high value-added products.

IC packaging and testing industry, Jane Sheng said, because of the global IC packaging and testing industry capital spending from 2001 to conservative, let Taiwan be manufacturers in this period to enrich the healthy; next year, due to foreign IC manufacturers continued to Taiwan for packaging and testing capacity support, plus the foundries orders is exuberant, 12 inch plant expansion, packaging and testing industry in good order, expected next year Taiwan economy will maintain a certain level of packaging and testing industry.

DRAM, Jane Sheng pointed out that, in addition to Samsung, the only Taiwan Dachang business increasingly difficult, the industry increased year by year with the 12 inch wafer factory efficiency and productivity, reduce manufacturing cost, and at the same time strengthen with Japan, European manufacturers alliance, the leading market position in the consolidation of Taiwan DRAM. He believes that although the average price of DRAM slide trend is inevitable, but Taiwan manufacturers are expected to excellent cost advantage in the next year, 512Mb DDR2 become the mainstream market occasion to emerge, continue to profit and expand market share.
