The Worldwide IC Packaging Market

While the integrated circuit (IC) market tends to be cyclical in nature, the general trend is for more ICs to be integrated into more products over time. The market is being driven by demand for handheld consumer devices as well as advanced computing products. All product segments (transportation, medical/industrial, communications and computers) are expanding rapidly with advances in semiconductor packaging technology leading innovation. Following an unexpectedly robust year of growth (7.9%), in 2013, the semiconductor industry appears to have recovered its former strength after the devastating economic downturn at the end of the last decade. While the rate of growth for both semiconductors shipped and worldwide revenues will decline somewhat, the market is expected to post a respectable compounded growth of more than 4% over the next five years. This report analyzes the semiconductor industry and uses this analysis to forecast the future of the global IC packaging market. The report begins with an economic and industry overview, then examines the historic and future unit and revenue IC growth.
