1 Trillion devices by 2016: semiconductor everywhere and anywhere is the trend

The semiconductors anywhere and everywhere, this is what is going to happen when you look at the number of semiconductor devices shipped every year. By year 2016 it is estimated around 1 Trillion semiconductor devices shipped per year, as for IC Insights, market researcher specific to semiconductor devices. With the Internet of things, wearable electronics, robotics, and with lot of new application areas, electronics and semiconductors to control the world, with human beings at the helm. So do you think there is a huge money in semiconductor technology, it's not looked to be so, the reason is, the industry is extremely competitive. As the demand is rising, the supply is also rising. Below is the market analysis points shared by IC insights related to the growth of shipment in units of semiconductor devices: Total semiconductor unit shipments (integrated circuits and opto-sensor-discrete, or O-S-D, devices) are forecast to grow annually through the current cyclical upturn and top one trillion units for the first time in 2016 according to forecast data presented in the new 2014 edition of The McClean Report—A Complete Analysis and Forecast of the Integrated Circuit Industry. Semiconductor shipments in excess of one trillion units are forecast to be the “new normal” beginning in 2016. As seen in Figure 1, semiconductor unit shipments are forecast to increase to 1,00...
