08 years of global semiconductor optoelectronic market will reach $22 billion 300 million

According to the report tech consultancy In-Stat released the latest in 2003, the global optoelectronics semiconductor market revenue is expected at around $9 billion, but after five years with the average annual rate of 20% growth, and reached $22 billion 300 million in 2008.

Although the optical fiber market is recovering, but the optoelectronic semiconductor is still mainly used in communications, data storage and led LED market.

LED will be the fastest growing market in the optoelectronics market, it will grow from $2 billion 500 million in 2003 to $8 billion 900 million in 2008, an annual increase of 23%. In addition, the emergence of new optical components such as purple laser diode provides a new growth point for this market.

Computers and related applications are also the main areas of the optoelectronic semiconductor market, its growth rate is expected to reach 21%. In this area, the semiconductor shipments will continue to grow, but the price pressure makes the expansion of the scale of this area slowed down.
