2015 tablet contribution to the semiconductor industry will reach 20 billion US dollars

International research organization Gartner recently held a semiconductor global tour forum. Li Fubang, chief analyst of the semiconductor industry, said that the average annual compound growth rate of tablet computers in the next five years reached 77%, and it is estimated that by 2015, the contribution of tablet computers to the semiconductor industry will reach 20 billion US dollars. In addition, he pointed out that ARM is the biggest winner of the rise of smart phones and tablets, and it is estimated that it will still be able to maintain 80% market share in the next 5 years.

Li Fubang said that the average annual compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of tablet PCs in the next five years will reach 77%. It is expected that tablet PC shipments in 2015 will reach the level of shipments of traditional notebook computers in 2014. However, due to the fact that the number of semiconductors used in tablet PCs is lower than that of traditional notebook PCs, especially in terms of DRAM usage, the use of integrated SOC architecture chips is also used. Therefore, the number of semiconductor components is small, and it is estimated that tablet PCs pay attention to semiconductor revenues. It will reach US$20 billion in 2015.

Li Zaibang pointed out that ARM is the biggest winner of the emergence of smart phones and tablet computers. The market share of both IP markets is 100%, and it is estimated that 80% of the market share can still be maintained in the next 5 years.
