Statistics
European
sales up
7.5%
SEMICONDUCTOR sales in Europe
grew faster than the overall worldwide
market in October according to the
World Semiconductor Trade Statistics
(WSTS). This is the consecutive sixth
month where the European market
exhibited growth.
On a three month rolling average
basis, the European semiconductor
market grew by 7.5% compared to the
previous month. There was strong
growth observed for the main product
categories, with microcontrollers,
microprocessors, logic and discretes
standing out. The memory market was
also positive, with a particular strong
growth in the DRAM category.
Looking at application specific

chips, sales for analog devices designed
for and used in computing and

computer applications rose sharply in
.eur October, after three months of negative
oasiasemiconductor
results. Overall, European sales in
October 2009 amounted to US$ 2.813
billion. This corresponds to a decline of
17.8% compared to the same month
last year. On a YTD basis semiconductor
sales declined by 28.4% in 2009 versus

the same period in the year 2008.
The exchange rate imbalance of

recently increased its impact on the
European sales picture. Measured in
Euro, semiconductor sales of 1,933
billion Euros in October 2009
rebounded further, up 5.7% on the
previous month and down 19.5% versus
the same month a year ago. On a
worldwide basis, semiconductor sales in
October 2009 were US$ 21.697 billion,
up 5.1% versus the previous month,
which represent a positive growth for
the eighth month in a row. This results
in a significantly lowered decline of
3.5% versus the same month in 2008
