Linley Group: semiconductor market for
communication ICs to grow by 20% in 2010
The semiconductor specific market researcher Linley Group
in its report "Communications Semiconductor Market
Forecast 2009-2014." has estimated that the wired communications
semiconductor market is on track for 20 percent growth in
2010.
"As data centers continue their transition to new
networking technologies, such as 10 Gigabit and faster Ethernet,
we anticipate a strong recovery this year and potential
for modest growth in 2011 and thereafter," said Joseph
Byrne, senior analyst at The Linley Group. "We also
see emerging economies, such as India, contributing significantly
to growth in overall networking IC sales. Although visibility
remains limited because of volatile economic conditions,
we expect that the communications semiconductor market will
continue to expand through 2014."
It is forcasted that popular wired communication ICs such
as Ethernet devices will be the fastest growing category
in 2010, with Ethernet ASSP revenue projected to rise by
nearly 40 percent in 2010. For the five-year period from
2009-2014, multicore processor sales are expected to accelerate
and should grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 28 percent.
Network processors with a projected CAGR of 11 percent.
Carrier investment are believed to support new technologies
like IPTV and 4G cellular could accelerate growth in areas
such as PON, home networking, FPGAs, and embedded processors.
Deployment of massive data centers to support initiatives
such as cloud computing may accelerate adoption of 40 Gigabit
and 100 Gigabit Ethernet.
