Asia-Pacific Accounts for Nearly Half of Semiconductor Manufacturing Revenues

In a new report from Research and Markets regionally, Asia-Pacific accounted for 45.9% of all semiconductor-manufacturing revenues in June 2005. By product, MOS Micro overtook MOS Logic as the strongest semiconductor product category.

Revenues in the worldwide semiconductor industry were 2.2% lower in June 2005 than for the month of June 2004. The June 2005 Year-To-Date (YTD) sales still exceed May 2004 YTD sales by 6.5%.

The August 2005 Electronics Report is the comprehensive source for June 2005 market data, including semiconductor shipments, currency trends, book-to-bill ratios of key market segments and selected US end-product sales. The graphs and tables are handy reference guides toward understanding trends in the fast-moving semiconductor landscape. The Electronics Report converts data from the SIA, the WSTS, US Department of Commerce, the US Federal Reserve Board, IPC and SEMI into a convenient platform that helps facilitate understanding of this high technology.
