As a result of an unfavorable economic environment analysts are predicting the global semiconductor market to decline for the first time in 3 years. IHS iSuppli recently revised their global semiconductor market chip revenue forecast to contract by 0.1 percent. Their previous forecast predicted a growth of less than 3 percent.
"The expected decline in 2012 represents a major event for the global semiconductor market. Throughout all of 2011, even though electronics markets were very weak, IHS never projected revenue to decline for the entire year. However, the disappointing results in the second quarter and weak third-quarter expectations driven by poor economic conditions are expected to cause the semiconductor market to retreat this year," said Dale Ford, senior director at IHS.
