In The Ai Field, Global Semiconductor Output Is Expected To Grow By 10% This Year

Gathering micro-messages, according to a Taiwan media report, at the VLSI-TSA and VLSI-DAT seminars held by today's VLSI-DAT, memory makers Lu Chaoqun said that due to strong market demand, he is optimistic about the semiconductor industry's economic outlook this (2018) year. It is expected that the global semiconductor output value this year is expected to grow by another 10% compared with (2017), which will be higher than the industry’s previous expectations of 7 %.


For the development of the semiconductor market in the future, Lu Chaoqun pointed out that under the stimulation of AI, semiconductor business opportunities will blossom everywhere. Not only does it require advanced manufacturing processes, even the special process needs such as 28 nm and 90 nm have the opportunity to grow. Observing the current shortage of silicon wafers, memory, and passive components all show strong demand in the downstream market. He expects this year's semiconductor output growth to be better than expected and will reach a level of 10%, which is also better than the industry. This year, semiconductor output growth will grow by about 7%.
