Semiconductor Consumption by Major Applications in Asia: Focus on China and India

SUMMARY

Abstract

Apart from the low-cost electronic assembly and manufacturing, the large demand for computers, mobile handsets, and sophisticated consumer electronic items in Asia are also responsible for bringing system manufacturers to set up base in this region. Hence, the intensifying electronics production in Asia and the increasing semiconductor content across application segments have made Asia the largest semiconductor market in the world.

The semiconductor consumption market in Asia (including Japan) will see approximately 8.3% CAGR for 2005--2010. With both a sizeable manufacturing base and an end-consumer market, Asia's semiconductor consumption is expected to increase from close to 60% in 2005 to 66% of the total global semiconductor demand by 2010.

This report deals with the consumption of semiconductors in various applications in Asia. The computing segment continues to be the largest application segment in Asia, while the communications and consumer segments are the ones showing fastest growth. A separate section also covers the semiconductor consumption market of different countries in Asia, including Japan. Finally, the main focus is on China and India, two of the fastest growing economies in Asia, both with a large appetite for electronic systems.
