Slower Recovery For GaAs Industry
The GaAs industry effectively shut down as handset manufacturers turned off the taps in the final quarter of 2008," observed Asif Anwar at Strategy Analytics. “However, Strategy Analytics believes that the market has bottomed out and multiple GaAs device insertions in cellular handsets will be augmented by demand from other wireless markets as well as requirements from defense, consumer, fiber optic and automotive sectors."
Demand from wireless markets, including cellular handsets, will continue to be the primary growth engine for the GaAs industry. While Strategy Analytics expects growth to return in 2010, with all major end demand sectors growing through 2013, industry revenues will fall short of previous expectations of $5 billion. The overall growth will be tempered as a result of the economic downturn and growth will show signs of flattening out in 2013. Overall, the GaAs, RF and microelectronic device market will grow at a CAAGR (compound annual average growth rate) of 4% through 2013, to be worth $4.5 billion.
