Statistics
Up for year, down for month
The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) has reported that the European semiconductor market surge continued in February as it begun at the start of the year. Sales on the European semiconductor market increased by 36.5% in February compared to the same month in 2009 on a three month average basis.
For the first time since 2000, February semiconductor sales in Europe measured in Euro are above the January billings (on a three month average basis). February sales in Europe were slightly lower than in January on a three month average basis, in line with traditional seasonal behaviours. In Europe there were positive
growth rates observed in discretes, optoelectronics and total analogue devices, whereas slower sales were reported in the memory market for the European manufacturers. Overall, European semiconductor sales for the month of February 2010 amounted to US$ 2,876 billion. This corresponds to an increase of 36.5% compared to the same month last year. On a year to date basis semiconductor sales increased by 40.1% in 2010 versus the same period in the year 2009. The exchange rate imbalance of
the Euro compared to the US dollar has changed significantly which has dramatically changed the impact on the overall European sales picture in recent months.
Measured in Euro, semiconductor
sales were 2,025 billion Euros in February 2010, up 1.0% on the previous month and up 26.5% versus the same month a year ago. On a YTD basis semiconductor sales increased by 31.1% in 2010 versus the same period in the year 2009.
On a worldwide basis the overall semiconductor sales in February 2010 were US$ 22,037 billion, down 1.3% versus the previous month. This results in an increase of 56.2% versus the same month in 2009 and on a YTD basis it results in an increase of 61.1%.
