Memory, auto-specific, and embedded MPUs expected to outpace total IC market growth this year.
IC Insights recently released its 2021 edition of The McClean Report. The new analysis and forecast of the IC industry includes IC Insights’ ranking of IC product categories based on sales growth rate. The listing projects the market growth rate for each of the 33 IC product categories defined by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization. The top-10 fastest growing IC segments forecast for this year are shown in Figure 1.
Each of the top-10 growing IC product categories is expected to see a double-digit increase in sales, but only the top-five segments are forecast to grow faster than the total IC market, which IC Insights projects will rise 12% this year.
