Electronics.ca Publications - Automotive Semiconductors Set to Skid in 2009, but This is no Industry Heading for a Crash

Store this angel in big sizeELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS, the electronics industry bazaar analysis and ability network, announces the availability of a new address advantaged "Automotive Market for Semiconductors".

There can be few greater indicators of the troubles adverse the automotive area than the admonishing from Toyota Motor Corporation, the world's better car maker and one of its a lot of profitable, that for its accepted banking year it will accomplish an operating loss, its aboriginal in over seventy years. With assembly plants on continued abeyance and unsold cars cat-and-mouse for buyers, there can be no agnosticism that 2009 will be one of the a lot of arduous years anytime for automotive semiconductors.

It is anticipation that 2009 will see the better abatement in automotive semiconductor revenues anytime recorded, according to the report. However history shows that automotive is one of the a lot of connected and abiding markets for semiconductor suppliers and according to the report, with the casual of the accepted all-around banking troubles, automotive semiconductor revenues will acknowledgment to, and exceed, levels apparent in contempo years.

The a lot of contempo analysis, which looks at the automotive semiconductor market's contempo accomplished and assesses the industry's fundamentals, concludes that suppliers should abide committed to the automotive area and absorption should abide durably on the alley ahead. Key issues accompanying to the past, present and approaching are discussed below.

The Past:

The abstraction presents actual abstracts for the common automotive semiconductor market, from 1998-2007, calm with common ablaze car assembly over the aforementioned period. One of the a lot of cogent facts is that automotive semiconductor sales decreased alone already over that period, by about 2% in 2001, a year in which all-embracing semiconductor sales beneath by abutting to 35%. Crucially, 2001 was aswell the alone year in which car assembly fell, abundantly in acknowledgment to ambiguity acquired by the dot.com crash. Production again rose steadily afresh from 2002 to 2007 and with it the automotive semiconductor market. The hotlink amid growing semiconductor sales and ascent ablaze car assembly is wholly unsurprising; added cars produced agency added semiconductors used.

A additional key point that should be acclaimed from the accomplished is that the automotive semiconductor bazaar grew at a faster amount than ablaze car production; indeed, the advance amount for the automotive semiconductor bazaar from 1998-2007 averaged 9.0%, compared with 3.7% for ablaze car production. This trend, which comes about as a aftereffect of the pervasion of semiconductors into about all of the capital systems in the vehicle, still has abounding years larboard to run and offers abundant of the authoritativeness of a acknowledgment to advance for automotive semiconductors in the abreast term.

The Crisis Years:

The alpha of the troubles in the apple banking markets in mid-2007 set in motion a alternation of contest which brought us to area we are today. A accident of chump aplomb saw car sales bead aboriginal in 2008, but it was about absolutely the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and the agnate freezing of the acclaim markets that acquired the aberrant agitation now accepting witnessed by the automotive sector. With little or no acceptance to affordable acclaim and with unemployment ascent rapidly, abounding consumers accept called to adjourn big admission purchases, abnormally cars. This has led to a abrupt and affecting abatement in ablaze car sales and production, and a agnate abatement in the automotive semiconductor market. With the 2009 automotive semiconductor bazaar anticipation to will decline. The key catechism for suppliers accordingly is "Will 2009 be the barring to the rule, or is this the alpha of a assuredly bargain automotive semiconductor market?".

The Future:

The address does not apprehend a acknowledgment to the horse and wagon any time soon, so the closing casual of the banking storm, stabilizing of the all-around abridgement and gradually abbreviating levels of unemployment will about absolutely aftereffect in accustomed adjustment accepting resumed in the automotive industry. The accord of industry assessment suggests that all-around ablaze car assembly will abatement to about 60 actor in 2009 (roughly agnate to 2004 levels) but again to acceleration steadily thereafter, with assembly growing a lot of acerb in the BRIC countries and in China in particular. One key trend commendations bounded production; while North America, West Europe and Japan collectively accounted for two-thirds of all-around assembly in 2007, this is anticipation to abatement to one-half by 2015. Semiconductor suppliers analytic to account from the upturn in the automotive bazaar should pay accurate absorption to this trend, abnormally the implications of an over-reliance on developed regions, which could aftereffect in apathetic growth.

Looking advanced to the approaching of the automotive industry, automakers abide committed to the acceptance of able cyberbanking systems which accomplish their cars added environmentally affable (through the use of beat amalgam ability trains to advance ammunition abridgement and abate tailpipe emissions), safer to drive (with beat disciplinarian abetment systems such as lane abandonment warning, aphotic atom apprehension and able cruise control) and added acceptable to biking in (with beat ball systems). The beat capabilities of these systems are fabricated accessible not alone by the use of anytime added circuitous electronics, but by the acceptance of anytime faster, added able semiconductors. It is aboveboard accordingly that the adeptness of automakers to accede with anytime added acrimonious assurance and ecology legislation and to amuse the accretion expectations of the disciplinarian and cartage is wholly abased on anytime accretion use of semiconductors. As a result, as aplomb grows and consumers acknowledgment to affairs new cars, so it is predicted the automotive semiconductor bazaar will backslide to growth.

Electronics.ca Publications - 1Q09: The "Bottom" of the Current Semiconductor Industry Cycle

Store this angel in big sizeELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS, the electronics industry bazaar analysis and ability network, announces the availability of a new address advantaged "The McClean Report 2009 Edition".

In adjustment to abridge "real time" affirmation that a alternate basal was accomplished in 1Q09, aggregate semiconductor aggregation banking abstracts from Strategic Reviews Online Database is presented in a bazaar analysis address accessible at Electronics.ca Publications "The McClean Report 2009 Edition". Second-quarter 2009 advice from 48 semiconductor suppliers was accumulated with the report's estimates for 13 "top 25" companies (61 companies in total). It should be acclaimed that, not including the 5 pure-play foundries, the actual 56 companies in the analysis represent about 75% of the common semiconductor market.

It was actual candid and auspicious to apprehend the comments from abounding of the companies in the survey. When reviewed, words and phrases like "stabilizing, improvement, bottom, expansion, articulation point, and bigger than expected" came up generally and accommodate acceptance to our assessment that a axis point has been encountered in the semiconductor industry. Over the next few months, it will be auspicious to apprehend the altercation apropos the semiconductor bazaar about-face focus from, "where is the bottom?" to, "how able will the accretion be?"

According to the research, the top 25 semiconductor suppliers are accepted to affectation an 8% access in 2Q09/1Q09 sales, 4% excluding the foundries. Guidance from the "other" semiconductor suppliers in our analysis (i.e., non-top 25) is even added auspicious than that of the top 25 companies. In total, the "other" 36 companies apprehend to annals a able 13% access in 2Q09/1Q09 sales! In all cases, the 2Q09 expectations for the "other" companies were provided by the companies themselves.

The "Grand Total" of the 61 companies in our analysis shows a 9% access in semiconductor sales accepted for 2Q09/1Q09. Excluding the pure-play foundries, the 2Q09/1Q09 advance amount drops to a still admirable 5%, abnormally because that the 1Q09/4Q08 and 4Q08/3Q08 semiconductor markets beneath by 12% and 23%, respectively.

A added breakdown of the 2Q09/1Q09 semiconductor sales expectations of the 61 companies is apparent below:

32 IDM Companies: +4% ($30.8B/$29.6B)
24 Fabless Companies: +8% ($6.5B/$6.0B)
5 Pure-Play Foundries: +82% ($3.64B/$2.00B)


It should be acclaimed that if a ambit of expectations was accustomed by a aggregation for its 2Q09 outlook, which was the case about 90% of the time, the address congenital the balance of this range. Historically, a lot of companies are actual bourgeois in their declared expectations, back it is abundant bigger to beat your advice than to abatement abbreviate (this is abnormally accurate for about traded companies). Thus, accustomed the inherent abnegation in the guidance:

The address forecasts that the 2Q09/1Q09 semiconductor and IC markets will in actuality annals a college advance amount than the survey's "Grand Total" aftereffect of +5%.
