Revenue is expected to reach a "historic" U.S. $ 300 300 000 000 in 2010, up 31.5% over 2009, according to preliminary results released by Gartner. Semiconductor market rebounded after the recession of the chip revenues worldwide were injured in 2009, where year after year revenue fell 10%.
As the economy has stabilized this year, semiconductor manufacturers to quickly add capacity to meet growing demand from the system manufacturer. But demand for semiconductors began to weaken again from the third quarter of this year, said Gartner.
