Information Institute for Information Industry (MIC) said that with the overall economic recovery ,driven by PC industry is expected to stabilize and smart handheld devices continues to grow ,the global semiconductor market in 2014 will reach $ 310.4 billion , the estimated growth of 3.8% . Taiwan's semiconductor industry growth momentum will slow , but better than expected global semiconductor average level ,in 2014 will grow by 7.8% compared to 2013 , amounting to 1 trillion 895 billion yuan .The MIC estimates that in 2013 due to smart phones and tablet computers and other smart handheld products grow, driven by the global semiconductor market to recover, the global semiconductor market in 2013 amounted to approximately $ 299 billion , compared with 2012 a growth of 2.4%. In 2014 With the gradual recovery of the overall economy , PC industry decline is expected to slow , although smart handheld industrial growth rate was not as in previous years , is still expected to maintain double-digit growth , the global semiconductor market is therefore expected to continue to grow. In 2013 the output value of Taiwan's semiconductor industry grew by 13.7% , amounting to NT $ 1 trillion 757.7 billion yuan , the overall performance is better than the global semiconductor market. Among them, some foundry , driven by advanced process and memory rebound , driven IC manufacturing grew 19.2%, IC design grew 8.9%, IC packaging and testing are also 7.3% growth rate. In 2013 the output value of Taiwan's IC design industry will grow 8.9 percent to NT $ 4,568 million, outperforming the global market average, however, the rise in China 's IC design industry , leader Qualcomm sustained low-level layout of smart handheld market , 2014 Taiwan IC design industry will continue to face external competitive pressures. According to MIC Industry Advisory Chunhui said that in the low-end smart handheld devices , NBPC touch increased the proportion of the second half with 4K2K TV panel shipments and other factors , the second and third quarters of Taiwan's IC design companies related products will continue to meet customer mass production of new phones , along the related application processor , the touch panel driver IC IC related industry revenue growth .Taiwan's foundry industry , benefiting from the market for advanced process needs of the business , driven in 2013 the output value of Taiwan's foundry substantial growth . Memory partly due to price rise , the memory industry output continued to rise , in addition, Hynix recently been affected by Wuxi plant accident , expected future memory prices will remain high. Estimated that in 2013 the output value of Taiwan's IC manufacturing industry will reach NT $ 9,278 million, compared with 2012 growth of 19.2%. Benefited from buoyant sales of smart handheld devices , especially in China and other emerging markets in the growing demand for low-priced smart handheld products , in 2013 Taiwan's IC packaging and testing industry output was also found professional growth momentum is expected to continue until 2014. Estimated that in 2013 the output value of Taiwan's IC packaging and testing industry will reach NT $ 3,731 million, representing growth of 7.3%.
