Smartphone demand is still expected to grow 4% in the IC industry this year
In the tech-detail-main section, there's a detailed product showcase featuring multiple images and descriptions. The first image shows a mobile phone crystal measuring 3.2*2.5mm with a 3225 size and 26M (26.000MHZ) frequency. The second slide highlights a single-chip microcontroller, the STM32L151CCU6. Another image displays IC integration, while the fourth showcases the PJSRV05-4 component. Alongside the main image window, there are thumbnail previews for easy navigation.
According to IC Insights, the global IC market is expected to grow by 4% in 2016, outperforming TSMC’s forecast of a 2% growth for the semiconductor industry. Capacity utilization is projected to be between 90% and 93%, with 12-inch fabrication plants reaching around 95%. This indicates a strong demand for chips, especially driven by smartphones and server markets.
The global economy is expected to grow by approximately 2.7% this year, slightly up from 2.5% in 2015. This economic growth supports continued optimism in IC demand. While IC shipments are expected to rise by 5% this year, up from 4% in 2015, pricing pressure remains due to intense competition, leading to an estimated 1% decline in IC prices.
Research and development spending in the semiconductor industry increased by 0.5% in 2015, reaching a record $56.4 billion. The top 10 IC vendors spent nearly 2% on R&D this year. Intel remained the highest spender on R&D in 2015, followed by Qualcomm, Samsung, Broadcom, and TSMC.
Notably, the 0.5% growth in R&D spending was the smallest since the 2009 financial crisis, significantly lower than the 4% average annual growth over the past decade. Despite the slower growth, 2015 marked a historic high for global semiconductor R&D investment, rising from $54.1 billion in 2014 to $56.4 billion. This reflects ongoing innovation and long-term strategic investments in the industry.
