Traditionally, there is a peak rate of orders for semiconductor production in the third quarter each year. Recent research from IHS iSuppli company found that in 2012 the richest on the orders was not the third, but the second quarter:
Compared to the first quarter volume of orders increased by 16%: up to $ 7.8 billion in the third quarter of sequential growth in orders is not as strong - to $ 8.3 billion, and in the fourth and did show a negative trend, falling to $ 7.9 billion
Analysts claim that the new trend in the market of contract semiconductor is a consequence of a sluggish in global economy, fast rebirth which device manufacturers do not believe (and therefore not increasing orders before the New Year), and atypical activity of manufacturers of mobile devices in the second quarter.
Loss rate at the end of this year will result in the loss of volume in the second half of next year, according to IHS iSuppli company. Related Products :
