Global semiconductor sales will increase by 6.5%

The arrival of the second half of 2014 and the development of electronic components in the first half of the year will enable us to predict the trend of the second half of the year.

According to market forecasts, global semiconductor sales in 2014 will reach US$325 billion, an increase of 6.5% over the previous year; except for a slight drop in the microprocessor market, the remaining markets will maintain a high single-digit growth rate. The semiconductor market maintained continuous growth in the year.

The innovation of intelligent terminals and their components has in the past been reflected in the continuous development of products such as mobile phones and tablets. At this stage, there has been a trend of in-depth development towards smart homes and automotive electronics. Through the innovation and upgrading of products such as televisions, routers and home appliances, the company has gradually explored a broad market for smart homes. For example, Google acquired Nest for US$3.2 billion and took the lead to start focusing on its layout. Samsung, Xiaomi, and LeTV have already begun to actively follow up. The electronic control of the car control platform is also one of the important directions for the future development of the car. After Apple announced that it has teamed up with Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo to launch the CarPlay in-car system, Samsung is expected to negotiate cooperation with BMW and Flowserve on the in-vehicle system.

IIPA data shows that the scale of the smart home market in mainland China will continue to increase by more than 20% in 3 years from 2014 to 2016, and the industry will further accelerate in 2016-2017; automotive electronics, including automotive power control systems, onboard electronic systems, intelligent control systems and The automotive electronic network system, in which the cost of electronic components accounts for more than 60% to 70% of the cost of high-end automobiles, is expected that in 2014 the global automotive electronics output value will exceed 200 billion US dollars.

In the electronic component industry, since the 1990s, communications equipment, consumer electronics, computers, Internet applications, automotive electronics, and set-top boxes have developed rapidly. At the same time, the international transfer to China has resulted in the acquisition of electronic components and components in China. Rapid development.
