Business Wire via NewsEdge Corporation : SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2003--Worldwide sales of semiconductors increased 4.0 percent to $13.42 billion in August 2003, up from the $12.90 billion in revenue reported in July of 2003 -- the sixth consecutive monthly increase. Year-over-year sales increased 12.5 percent from August 2002 revenue of $11.93 billion, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported today.
"August sales confirm the broad-based strength of the semiconductor market, lead by demand in the consumer, computer and wireless sectors," stated SIA President George Scalise. "This rise in end-market demand is generating stronger third quarter sales than normal seasonal patterns."
In August, PC related products continued to be the strongest sector with microprocessors up 7.8 percent and DRAMs up 11.0 percent over July. Seasonal back-to-school PC buys and the early signs of a business upgrade cycle contributed to the boost in sales this month. The consumer sector, which includes DVD players and digital cameras, continued to strengthen with Consumer Application Specific Standard Products (ASSP) up 5.3 percent and Flash up 6.9 percent over last month. The inventory issues in the wireless sector in Asia have been resolved and demand is once again rising with digital signal processors (DSP) up 4.7 percent over July.
In the month of August, sales in Japan rose 1.6 percent, Asia Pacific was up 6.4 percent, Europe up 3.8 percent, and the Americas increased 2.5 percent over July. "With the exception of the peak year of 2000, this is the strongest monthly increase in August since 1990," added Scalise. |
