【產(chǎn)通社，7月5日訊】半導(dǎo)體產(chǎn)業(yè)協(xié)會(Semiconductor Industry Association, SIA) 3日公布，2012年5月全球半導(dǎo)體3個月移動平均銷售額報243.9億美元，較前月的240.7億美元(3個月移動平均值)上揚(yáng)1.4%，為連續(xù)第3個月呈現(xiàn)月增，創(chuàng)2010年9月以來最長增長紀(jì)錄；但較2011年5月的252.4億美元下滑3.4%。
5月份全球各主要市場3個月移動平均銷售額呈現(xiàn)好壞參半，亞太 (月增3.1%)、歐洲(月增0.8%)的增長抵銷了美洲(月減1.8%)、日本(下滑0.6 %)的頹勢。
2012年3-5月全球半導(dǎo)體銷售額報243.9億美元，較2011年12月-2012年2月的229.2億美元成長6.4%，創(chuàng)2010年6月以來最大增幅。
整體而言，SIA發(fā)布的全球最新芯片銷售數(shù)據(jù)令人鼓舞，表明芯片行業(yè)在今年開局不利后正重新走上正軌，下半年全球芯片銷售額仍將出現(xiàn)溫和增長。但是，歐元區(qū)債務(wù)危機(jī)已經(jīng)對芯片在歐洲市場的銷售造成不利影響，而全球經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷仍會抑制芯片銷售的增長速度，這都給芯片行業(yè)的前景蒙上了陰影。查詢進(jìn)一步信息，請訪問官方網(wǎng)站http://www.sia-online.org。

Global Semiconductor Sales Increase in May, Remain on Track for Modest Growth in 2012

WASHINGTON, D.C.—JULY 3, 2012—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing and design, today announced that worldwide sales of semiconductors reached $24.4 billion for the month of May 2012, a 1.4 percent increase over the prior month when sales were $24.1 billion.
Combined global sales for the March-April-May period increased over December-January-February by the highest rate (6.4 percent) since June 2010. Additionally, May marked the third consecutive month that sales have grown over the previous month – the longest streak of sequential monthly growth since September 2010. However, sales from May 2012 were 3.4 percent lower than the May 2011 total of $25.2 billion, and 2012 year-to-date sales were lower across all regions than at this time last year. All monthly sales numbers represent a three-month moving average.
“The upward trend of global semiconductor sales is encouraging,” said Brian Toohey, president & CEO, Semiconductor Industry Association. “Recent sales totals are in line with industry projections of modest growth for the remainder of 2012, but a sluggish global economy continues to provide substantial headwinds, limiting more robust growth.”
Regionally, semiconductor sales increased in Asia Pacific (10.5 percent), Europe (4.4 percent) and the Americas (1.6 percent) over a three-month moving average, but fell slightly in Japan (-0.7 percent). However, Japan realized an increase in sales from May 2011 to May 2012 (0.4 percent), while Asia Pacific (-1.9 percent), the Americas (-3.2 percent) and Europe (-13.6 percent) all saw year-to-year decreases.
