据世界半导体贸易统计协会(WSTS)预测,2017全球半导体产值将来到3,778亿美元,较2016年跳增11.5%,有望连续两年写下历史新高。对照2016年11月的预估值(3,461亿美元),WSTS最新发布的预估值上修幅度达9.2%,主要反映2016年下半年以来,全球景气改善,市场需求加速。若以产品类别区分,存储器是最被看好的产品,预估销售额将攀升30.4%、成为1,001亿美元。NAND快闪存储器的应用日益普及,从手机、PC到数据中心的需求不断提高。 According to the World Association of Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) forecast, 2017 global semiconductor output will come to 377.8 billion US dollars, a 11.5% increase over 2016, is expected to record a record high for two consecutive years. In comparison with the November 2016 estimate of US $ 346.1 billion, the WSTS latest estimate posted an increase of 9.2%, mainly reflecting the improvement in the global economy and accelerating market demand since the second half of 2016. Memory is the most favored product by product category, with estimated sales up 30.4% to $ 100.1 billion. The growing popularity of NAND flash memory applications, from mobile phones, PCs to the data center’s increasing demand.
