Forecast: Semiconductor Capacity, Worldwide, 4Q09 Update

ID Number: G00171457

7 October 2009

David Christensen Bob Johnson Barbara Van Maria Valenzuela

Despite a year-over-year drop of 4.1% in worldwide capacity in 2009, the semiconductor market will rebound in 2010, with a 6.4% year-over-year capacity increase. The entire increase will come from 300-millimeter capacity expansions, mostly in Japan and the Asia/Pacific region.
