Global Semiconductor Industry Outloook 2017 – The
Fastest Growing Markets
Semiconductor Industry Overview
A semiconductor is a material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator, but
has some properties of both, in terms of electrical conductivity. Some examples of
Semiconductor materials are Germanium, Silicon, Gallium Arsenide, Computer chips,
Transistors, Diodes, Solar cells, and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
The global semiconductor market is controlled by the United States of America, Japan,
South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, China and Europe. The industry enjoys continued
growth, but is highly volatile. The average annual growth over the period of the past 20
years is 13% with above-average market volatility. High level of innovation and
flexibility is required to sustain the rapidly changing market, as the product life cycle of
many semiconductor products is usually short.
At the same time, the balance between the price and performance of the semiconductor
products is improved constantly. As a result, changes in the semiconductor industry
might not always occur rapidly, but also at a slower pace.
