De acordo com resultados finais divulgados pelo Gartner, Inc., líder mundial de pesquisa e aconselhamento sobre tecnologia, o mercado global de serviços de montagem e testes de semicondutores totalizou US$ 25,1 bilhões, em 2013, um aumento de 2,3% em relação a 2012.
Worldwide Semiconductor Assembly and Test Services Market Grew 2.3 Per Cent in 2013, According to Final Results by Gartner
The worldwide semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) market totalled $25.1 billion in 2013, a 2.3 per cent increase from 2012, according to final results from Gartner, Inc.
The worldwide semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) market totalled $25.1 billion in 2013, a 2.3 per cent increase from 2012, according to final results from Gartner, Inc.
“The SATS market grew slower than expected in 2013,” said Jim Walker, research vice president at Gartner. “Japanese Yen depreciation against the US dollar resulted in a drastic reduction in Japanese SATS companies’ revenue compared with 2012, which impacted the overall growth of the market.”
Another contributing factor was that “DRAM memory producers increased use of internal manufacturing capability, resulting in tighter capacities and higher utilisation rates in 2013,” Mr Walker said. “This, in turn, reduced the need for outsourcing and resulted in lower revenue for the SATS market.”
The top SATS companies continue to distance themselves from the more than 150 companies in the market. The top three vendors, ASE, Amkor Technology and SPIL, grew faster than the market average, and took market share away from other, lower-ranked companies (see Table 1). Their focus on advanced technologies, including wafer level packaging and flip chip, resulted in increased revenue, due to the higher average selling prices of these packages. As a result, for a few of the top companies, advanced packaging is approaching half of their total packaging revenue.
