In 2023, the global power electronics market, including discrete devices and modules, was valued at $23.8 billion. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2023 to 2029 to $35.7 billion in 2029, announces Yole Group in its ‘Status of the Power Electronic Industry’, 2024 edition. The discrete market, valued at $15.5 billion in 2023,
According to Counterpoint Research’s Foundry Quarterly Tracker, the global foundry industry saw a significant revenue increase in Q2 2024, with a 9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) rise and a 23% year-on-year (YoY) growth. This growth was largely driven by strong demand for AI technologies. However, CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) supply remained constrained, with potential capacity expansions, particularly in CoWoS-L,
The electronic grey market is a problem that affects not only the end user but also manufacturers and distributors across the electronics industry. This grey market consists of products sold through unauthorised channels, often without the knowledge or consent of the original manufacturer. Although the goods can be genuine, their sale outside of official channels
Positive market sentiment expressed by participants in the electronic components supply chain improved in the August measurement as it reached 108.4 in the index and is sustained in the September outlook with a 107.9 score. “This is an encouraging upward trend following a June measurement that fell below the 100 threshold and caused concern regarding
NAND flash memory, the core technology behind various storage solutions such as SSDs, smartphones, and data centres, has faced significant fluctuations in price in recent years. These price changes are largely influenced by supply-demand dynamics, production costs, and technological advancements. Understanding these trends is crucial for businesses and consumers who rely on NAND flash memory
The global semiconductor market achieved a valuation of $149.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024, according to data from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS). This marks a 6.5% increase from the first quarter of 2024 and an 18.3% rise compared to the same period the previous year. Notably, WSTS adjusted its first-quarter 2024
One only needs to look back a few decades to see when the semiconductor landscape had Japan on top, controlling over 50% of the market. However, since then, a combination of geopolitical pressures, particularly from the United States, alongside increasing competition from rival Asian nations like South Korea and Taiwan has led to a steep
The global semiconductor manufacturing industry showed continued improvement in the second quarter of 2024, with notable growth in integrated circuit (IC) sales, stabilising capital expenditure, and increased wafer fab capacity, according to the Q2 2024 Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor (SMM) Report released by SEMI in partnership with TechInsights. While a slower recovery in some end markets
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported that global semiconductor industry sales reached $149.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024, marking an 18.3% increase from the same period in 2023 and a 6.5% rise over the first quarter of 2024. Sales for June 2024 alone totalled $50.0 billion, reflecting a 1.7% increase compared to May’s
In its Q2 report for 2024, ITSA members have seen orders holding steady, but with a high degree of variation in key markets. Distribution is down 8% but perhaps not surprising given the 10% jump in Q1. Some markets are showing significant growth – Communications +44%, Mass Transport +29%, and Test & Measurement +29%.
