TechNavio today launched its report Global Semiconductor Capital Equipment Market 2011“2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Southeast Asia, APAC, North America, Europe, and ROW regions. The report aims to aid decision makers™ understanding of the present and the future of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Hardware team said; The Global Semiconductor Capital Equipment market is heavily dependent on the integrated circuit (IC) and other related component manufacturers, and their growth plans for the coming years. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (TSMC) has announced that it will make an investment of approximately US$9.3 billion to set up a new semiconductor fabrication plant (fab) in Taiwan which is expected to become operational in 2012. The new plant is expected to create huge demand for the semiconductor capital equipment. Furthermore, the International Sematech Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI), which is an extension of the US consortium SEMATECH, is funding the ‘300 mm Prime’ initiative. As a result of this initiative, fabs around the world would be able to produce a much larger number of ICs.
According to the report, the Mobile Device segment has been posting promising growth (quarter on quarter), which is expected to continue during the forecast period. The Tablet, PC, and Smartphone market is highly competitive, which is forcing many of these mobile device manufacturers to introduce new and more advanced models regularly. This in turn has forced many semiconductor manufacturers to produce smaller and more efficient chips for use in mobile devices. Thus, the Global Semiconductor Capital Equipment market is highly dependent on the performance of semiconductor manufacturers.
Further, the report also discusses that the Global Semiconductor Capital Equipment market is hindered by several challenges such as natural calamities that disrupt the production of semiconductor equipment.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
