The semiconductor market is expected to grow to $522 billion in 2021.
Despite the global semiconductor shortage, revenues are expected to increase year-over-year by 12.5%.
In some industries, total shipments of semiconductors are down, but revenues have increased.
In news that likely won t surprise anyone, semiconductor revenue is expected to increase this year. The latest forecast from IDC states that the semiconductor market will reach $522 billion in 2021, which would mark a 12.5% year-over-year growth rate. IDC expects the consumer, computing, 5G, and automotive markets to drive the growth in the semiconductor market.
The global semiconductor shortage has made headlines for over a year, but that shortage doesn t mean that manufacturers aren t selling semiconductors. If anything, the shortage of semiconductors is an indicator of growing demand, since all manufacturers are racing to make as many semiconductors as possible.
