The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics shows sales of $111.8bn in
February, an 18% increase on February 2002.
The trend showed a 3.3% fall on January prompting George Scalise, president
of the US Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), to comment: "The
recovery in the semiconductor industry that has been underway for more than
15 months appears to have stalled in February."
Scalise believes that demand will strengthen in H2 resulting in double-digit
growth for the year.
The regional breakdown was $2.41bn in the Americas (down 4.5% on 2002),
$2.45bn in Europe (up 16.6%), $2.69bn in Japan (up 34.5%) and $4.29bn in
Asia-Pacific (up 26.1%).


Total demand for smartcard products will increase at an annual rate of 11.1%
for the period 2001-2006, says the Freedonia Group. The value of the market
in 2006 is put at $8.00bn, compared with $4.74bn in 2001 and $2.54bn in
1996. The cards and microchips portion of this is due to increase at 10.3%
from $2.40bn to $3.91bn ($1.35bn in 1996). Other components of the market
consist of card readers, other hardware and software.
The drivers for the industry will be gradual migration of bank debit/credit
cards to chip cards for security against fraud. Wireless phones and
expansion into China continue to offer growth potential.
