Recently, a report named Semiconductor Industry Market Analysis& Future Trends Worldwide (2010-2013) was published by Renub Research. This report is aimed at identifying the driving force behind the semiconductor market in the next few years.

As the driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress, the semiconductors have entirely changed the outlook of the world we live today. Semiconductors are being used for entire range of industries like consumer electronic, automotive, communications infrastructure to computer industries and many more. For example, the PCs we use, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate, the electronic gadgets for watching movies, listening to music and playing games, the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us all use semiconductor devices.

In the manufacturing of integrated circuits, semiconductor equipment plays a vital role. Worldwide semiconductor equipment market is expected to cross 35 billion dollars by 2013. Wafer processing is the leading segments in the equipments markets whose market share is steadily increasing and expected to be over 80% of the worldwide equipment market by 2013.

Semiconductor material market has played a supporting role in relation to semiconductor equipment for a long time, but with consistent year-over-year growth before 2009 as the result of record volumes of chips produced, the materials market is set to leave the shadow of the flashy equipment market. It is expected that this market will grow on average growth rate of 7.74% for the period from 2010 to 2013. Japan and Taiwan were two major semiconductor material markets in the globe.

As a result, worldwide semiconductor market in 2009 was approximately 200 billion dollars and it is expected that the worldwide semiconductor market will cross 300 billion dollars landmark by the end of 2013. In this growth, only minor shifts in sales distribution are expected.

This report involves seven regions include China, Europe, Japan, Korea, US, Taiwan and Rest of the World. All the seven regions have been analyzed in this report.
