According to Oslo in Norway, the latest data shows that in 2013 the global semiconductor growth of 1 percent, down 2% in 2012, unchanged from 2011 and 2010 rose 32 percent compared to another one reflecting the downward cycle soon. But the industry believe that the semiconductor industry in 2014 may have more significant growth. LED lighting is now LED industry downstream applications as one of the links, and the future, with the LED lighting industry and market development, LED lighting products will be part of the industrial scale far greater than the LED in the upper part of the industrial scale.Observe the semiconductor industry cycles, since 2010 the market rose after the 2011 and 2012 have come down processing in them. Therefore, statistical organizations in the world semiconductor market by the end of 2012 had predicted 2013 growth of 4.5% and IHSiSuppli had predicted growth of 8.2%.However, just over half a year, in the new situation various analysts have lowered its growth forecast for this year, such as WSTS on June 4, 2013 released its spring market forecasts for 2013 global semiconductor market than on the size of annual growth of 2.1%, reaching $ 297.8 billion. In the OEM market, according to SEMI latest global fab report, 2013 fab equipment spending will reach $ 32.5 billion, representing growth of 2%, slightly better than the original estimate will decline by 0.6%, while estimates 2014 will be 23-27% of the astonishing growth of up to $ 41 billion, will also be hit unprecedented highs.Compare fab equipment spending in recent years Amount: 2010 to $ 33.5 billion, in 2011 to $ 39.7 billion in 2012 to $ 31.8 billion, to $ 32.5 billion in 2013 and expected in 2014 to $ 41.9 billion. Based on the above information indicates that in 2013 the growth of the semiconductor industry, upward momentum is still being accumulated, estimated in 2014 will have a more significant growth. However, in the EUV and 450mm wafers is not entered before the time, the semiconductor industry may be difficult to have a nearly 10% increase.
