The worldwide semiconductor market is forecasted to be US$ 433 billion in 2020 – an increase of 5.1 percent from 2019, reports the European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) referencing the WSTS numbers. This is up from growth of 3.3 percent WSTS was predicting back in June 2020 (seeChip market will grow in 2020, accelerate in 2021, says bullish WSTS). WSTS has raised the growth it sees for logic and analog and pushed the strong memory market out with increased growth in 2021.
