2016 semiconductor market return to growth

Semiconductor industry is expected to resume growth next year, fingerprint identification and SSD respectively in smart phones and laptops could expect synchronization higher permeability, growth will be relatively clear application market.

Hit by the global economic situation is not good, the market inventory adjustment than expected, with a strong dollar, global semiconductor market this year will be zero growth;Along with the stock market is expected to end after adjustment, the bibcock of wafer foundry plant, TSMC, the semiconductor industry is expected to resume growth next year.

TSMC on semiconductor industry development next year, restore market confidence, and begin to pay close attention to the growing application market next year.

Along with the apple iPhone 5 s import fingerprint recognition, fingerprint recognition development has been concern about the market, and attract, Thai, elan, holtek and aegis fab at home one after another into the development of fingerprint identification field.

According to the observation to the mobile phone companies such as Samsung (Samsung) flagship model after importing the fingerprint recognition, Letv new price 1099 yuan 1 s, and the glory of huawei's new price 999 yuan 5 x also follow up the import fingerprint identification function.

Industry, along with the one thousand yuan parity smartphone followed suit USES fingerprint recognition, will drive the fingerprint recognition rapid popularization, the market growth.

Aegis is expected, smartphone fingerprint permeability will be about 25% this year, next year is expected to further climbed to 37%, permeability will be up to 58% in 2018.

The apple camp with fingerprint recognition smartphone will be about 300 million this year, next year is expected to reach 451 million, will grow up to 5, is expected to 2018 will further scale up to 947 million.

In addition to the fingerprint identification market, SSD market will also be considerable growth potential.

Market institutions dramexchange pointed out that because of Flash memory storage type (NAND Flash) price lower expectations, cargo conservative pathways end customers, in the second half of this year SSD market growth slows.

It is estimated that third quarter overall user level SSD shipments to grow only slightly to 21.6 million;Fourth quarter because of NAND Flash did not see prices falling signal, plus the price competition is intense, the overall user level SSD shipments will only JiZeng about 4% to 6%.

Dramexchange expectations, suppliers for the city accounted for, and to NAND Flash capacity, SSD price war may continue into the first half of next year.

However, along with the product prices are falling, 256 gb solid state drives prices next year is expected to close to mainstream traditional hard disk capacity, will increase korah laptop SSD carrying rate rising further, have the opportunity to since the fourth quarter of this year's 27% to 28%, further above 30% level.

With the laptop carrying rate continued ascension, SSD market growth momentum next year, in addition to the memory control chip factory group of associated ship is expected to a rising tide lifts all boats, power management chip factory F - silicon force has been successful in samsung SSD supply chain, operations will also benefit can be synchronized.
