Semiconductor shipments in 2016 are expected to increase from 1978 's 32.6 billion to 1005800000000 pieces ,during 38 years, with an average annual growth rate of 9.4%. Due to the global economic downturn from 2008 to 2013 the average annual growth rate of semiconductor products only 5% , but is expected from 2013 to 2018 the annual growth rate will increase by 8% , the growth momentum of global economic recovery , the electronic systems market run more healthy. In the semiconductor sector growth was the strongest year of 1984 increased by 34 % in 2001 to drop 19%. Semiconductor shipments in 1987 exceeded 100 billion mark for the first time , in 2006 for the first time more than 500 billion in 2007, more than 600 billion . In 2008 and 2009 the global financial crisis and economic recession caused by the semiconductor shipments declined , the semiconductor industry has experienced a continuous decline only time shipments . However, the semiconductor sector in 2010 rose by 25 %, which is the second high- growth since 1978 . IC insight forecasts 2014 semiconductor sector will grow by 8 % in 2015 increased by 11% , in 2016 by 12 %, which would result in semiconductor shipments in 2016 for the first time exceeded one trillion units. Interestingly , the ratio of the IC semiconductor unit devices and the OSD will remain fairly constant despite advances in integrated circuit technology , and the mixing function to reduce the number of chips in the system . In 1978 , OSD equipment accounted for 79 percent of the semiconductor sector , IC 21% . As of 2016, nearly 40 years , OSD device is expected to account for 74% of the semiconductor sector , IC devices accounted for 26 %.
