One of main problem in the global crisis in 2008 was the overstock warehouse suppliers of computer components: demand has reduced, and producers were forced to sell existing stocks of products at reduced prices and cut back production of new components. Many manufacturers were forced to stop whole factory.
According to iSuppli IHS , the stocks level of semiconductor components in the second quarter this year exceeded the values typical for the first quarter 2008, preceding the beginning of the crisis.
In the second quarter this year, the value of stocks has exceeded the traditional values of this period by 11%. In the first quarter 2008, this figure was 11.1%. The proximity of these indicators makes analysts anxiety associated with waiting for another crisis of overproduction. Correction of release volume of semiconductor products, according to experts, will continue until mid-2012. Many manufacturers prefer to reduce the load on the equipment as a whole .
In addition, third quarter should provide the semiconductor industry growth at 4.8%. The demand for components for data processing and storage, as well as wireless devices allow to recover decline in other sectors of the market. Related Products :
