Taiwan's semiconductor industry will decline by 5.8% in 2011

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. chairman Zhang Zhongmou made revisions to the foundry's output value at the second meeting of last month’s law. The ITRI's Industrial Economics and Trends Research Institute (IEK) further predicted that the semiconductor industry’s output value in Taiwan will decline by 5.8% in 2011, including a recession. The largest memory is the memory, followed by the IC design.

Yang Ruilin, manager of the IC and Process Research Department at IEK Systems, pointed out at the Taiwan IC Industry Development and Market Opportunities Seminar held yesterday (10th) that Taiwan’s IC industry went through the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 for two consecutive quarters. After the recession, although there were signs of a bottoming out in the second quarter of 2011, the output value of RMB 418.3 billion in the second quarter was only 4.5% higher than that in the first quarter, and it was not booming during the peak season of the third quarter. Emerged.

Yang Ruilin stated that the output value of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry announced by IEK three months ago still grew by 4.4%, but the European debt crisis, the slow recovery of the US and Japan, the inflation problems in emerging markets, the continued appreciation of the NT dollar, and weak computer demand, the mobile phone market Under the influence of multiple unfavorable factors such as unsatisfactory growth, IEK was substantially revised down to 5.8% negative growth last week, and this is only a medium-term correction, and it is very likely to be revised further in the future.

In 2010, the output value of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan was 1.076 trillion yuan. According to the forecast of the 5.8% decline in the IEK, the overall output value in 2011 was 1.616 trillion yuan.
