NEW YORK, USA: Reportlinker.com has announced that a new market research report is available in its catalogue.
With revenues forecast to decline by over 13 percent in 2009 the European EMS industry is facing a period of uncertainty and rapid change. In Western Europe the leading Tier 1 EMS providers have already relocated volume manufacturing to lower cost locations.
They have however retained a manufacturing presence and are looking to compete in the growth markets of aerospace & defence, medical, control and instrumentation, automotive and industrial as they recover in the 2010/2011 timeframe.
It is here that the real battle for the vast majority of the around 700 EMS companies in Europe will take place. Competition is expected to intensify with the emergence of regional players with multiple locations and strong focus on the growth markets. It is also the market being served by the large number, over 600, of national EMS providers with a single manufacturing facility and small but long established customer base.
Increased competition will lead to consolidation as companies are acquired or close due to ever increasing financial pressures, although it is not expected that there will be a mass exodus of companies in the period to 2013. There is a more than distinct possibility that one or possibly two of the major Tier 1 EMS companies will merge. Mergers between the major European EMS providers, is also a possibility although this is expected to be either on a national or sub-regional basis rather than pan-European.
A key trend in recent years has been the migration in EMS production from Western Europe to Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) resulting in the CEE accounting for just under 55 percent of European EMS revenues in 2008. This is expected to fall slightly in 2009 as the major Tier 1 EMS providers cut back production to meet lower demand, EMS revenues in the CEE forecast to decline by 17 percent during the year.
As end demand recovers so will the share the CEE accounts of the EMS market although the previous double-digit annual growth will reduce to a more pedestrian pace of 5-6 percent from 2010 to 2013. The transfer of production from Western Europe will continue to be an important factor in the region’s growth in particular in lower volume high mix products.
The ninth edition of The European EMS Industry report 2008-2013 highlights the issues impacting the European EMS industry.

Report on China semiconductor industry 2010
NEW YORK, USA: Reportlinker.com has announced a new market research report in its catalogue -- China Semiconductor Industry, 2010.
The impact of China on the world’s semiconductor industry—both as a consumer and supplier—is massive. It demands to be analyzed so that companies can react strategically with speed and agility. This report gives a better understanding of China’s impact on the global semiconductor industry.
This report evaluates the current status of the semiconductor industry in China, assesses geographical and product category demand, reviews shifts in the semiconductor value chain, and analyzes three different IC production growth scenarios.
Semiconductors lie at the heart of ongoing advances across the electronics industry and play a central role in the digital revolution. Semiconductor companies are continuously creating smaller, faster, and more complex chips to meet the demand for rapidly-changing technology.
Driven by both the continued growth of silicon content in end-products and the number of products with silicon components, the semiconductor industry maintained phenomenal growth over the last five years, and growth is expected to continue indefinitely.
The worldwide semiconductor industry is significantly impacted by the strategic focus of individual territories and geographies. With its emerging dominance in electronics manufacturing, China is poised to play a significant role in the semiconductor industry.
China’s semiconductor consumption market grew by 23 percent in 2007 to reach $88 billion, accounting for just over one-third of the worldwide market. China’s share of worldwide semiconductor production was about 9 percent in 2007 and is expected to increase gradually.

Global and China MEMS industry report, 2008-2009
NEW YORK, USA: Reportlinker.com has announced a new market research report: Global and China MEMS Industry Report, 2008-2009.
MEMS, abbreviated for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, is a semiconductor technology integrating mechanics and electronics, which got widely applied for auto airbag preliminarily, and then for all the other auto industries via MEMS sensor.
With further development of MEMS technology, as well as characteristics of application terminals such as lightness, thinness, shortness and smallness, the demand for small MEMS products with high performance shoots up, and fields like consumer electronics and medical care increasingly require large quantity MEMS products.
Apple iPhone series, beyond doubt, has promoted MEMS application in cell phone, and after iPhone, more and more MEMS cell phones will be in prevalence. MEMS in the components of portable devices consist of gyroscope, new-generation triaxial accelerometer, pressure sensor and module design.
Besides browsing web pages via touch, scrolling web pages via inclining cell phone, and displaying pictures by the change of cell phone direction and angle, it can also be step counter, guide interface, LBS positioning information service, HDD anti-collision protection from geocentric gravity, individual inertial navigation, intelligence interactive game etc.
The cell phones with in-built MEMS function also can be used to measure absolute atmosphere or as the sensing device. In addition, the cell phone MEMS sensor can judge the distance of cell phone to ear skin so that it can close display screen automatically, and the electricity source can be saved.
Impacted by global economic downturn in 2008, both global consumer electronics and automobile sale have dropped, which further continues in 2009. The two American auto giants are faced with bankruptcy, which has given a heavy blow to MEMS market application.
However, MEMS still has a bright prospect since the rising portion of MEMS application in single products in spite of a decline in consumer electronics shipment.
Moreover, the compulsory configuration regulations launched by the countries in Europe and America in auto ESC and TPMS fields have secured the steady supply of MEMS products.
MEMS products are mostly customized, which has higher requirements on wafer fabs. Therefore, Scarcely wafer fabs in Mainland China have entered the field. However, at the end of Oct, 2008, SMIC announced to enter MEMS OEM, and in early 2009 the top visiting group of Founder Microelectronics INC visited many MEMS companies in Taiwan.
As it is said that Shanghai and Wuxi are planned to establish MEMS industrial parks, and China’s MEMS insiders are also seeking chances to share opportunities that MEMS industry has brought.

Reportlinker's semicon industry forecast to 2012
NEW YORK, USA: Reportlinker.com has added a new report: Semiconductor Industry Forecast to 2012, to its catalog.
Like many other markets, the ongoing economic turmoil around the globe is considerably impacting the semiconductor market too. The systemic financial crisis has significantly weakened the consumer confidence, thus forcing them to reduce spending on all items, including electronic products. This has substantially contained the growth of global semiconductor market, says the report.
Electronic products, such as PCs, mobiles and home appliances, account for more than half of global semiconductor sales. However, growth in sales of PCs, mobile phones and other consumer electronics products has been witnessing sharp decline since the second half of 2008, thereby impacting the global semiconductor market.
With deepening of financial crisis, according to our research, the global semiconductor market is expected to see a negative outlook in 2009.
