NEW YORK – Research firm Gartner Group today sharply lowered its global semiconductor revenue outlook, saying the market would fall 16.3% in 2009 to $219.2 billion.
 
Last month, company guided for a 2.2% drop next year.
 
Semiconductor revenue is expected to drop 4.4% overall in 2008 on a fourth-quarter plunge of 24.4%.
 
If Gartner proves correct, it would be the first time the market fell in consecutive years.

Gartner forecasts a recovery in 2010 and 2011, with upticks of 14.6% and 9.4% respectively.

ARLINGTON, VA – Electronic component orders took a dip in November, although not nearly as drastic as the one in September, says the Electronic Components Association. The 12-month average, comparing this year’s results to those from 2007, continued the slight descent that began this summer.

Global reports show bleak projections in 2009 for key products that contain electronic components, including automobiles, computers, cellphones and PDAs, says the ECA. One hint of future light came from Henderson Ventures, which predicted that PC shipments would jump more than 13% in 2010 as a result of a combination of economic recovery, replacement cycles, and technological advances such as USB 3.0.
 
“It’s going to be a matter of sticking to fundamentals,” says Bob Willis, ECA president. “I believe companies must not overreact to or be intimidated by issues beyond their control, but remain focused on their core businesses.”
