Although the global tablet shipments fell sharply in 2017, the global tablet computer application processor (AP) market still had a good performance of $2 billion when the major tablet makers moved their products toward higher - profit and high-performance devices.

Driven by the development of new technology, such as the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, data center, virtual reality / augmented reality, the demand of all kinds of semiconductor products is increasing, and the growth of the global semiconductor equipment industry is also promoted.

The semiconductor industry is still in the upscale cycle of the cycle, and the IC insight survey, a market investigative agency, said the capital expenditure of the global semiconductor industry in 2018 would break through the hundreds of billions of dollars.

According to foreign media reports, according to foreign media reports, semiconductor wafer manufacturers worldwide wafers and South Korean local governments reached a cooperative factory expansion agreement, initially agreed to invest 480 billion won or the equivalent of 449 million US dollars, including 200 million US dollars of foreign direct The investment will be used to expand the production capacity of 12-inch silicon wafers and is expected to be completed by 2020. In response to this, Global Wafer Clarification stated that the possibility of expanding factories around the country is currently under investigation.

Gathering micro-messages, according to a Taiwan media report, at the VLSI-TSA and VLSI-DAT seminars held by today's VLSI-DAT, memory makers Lu Chaoqun said that due to strong market demand, he is optimistic about the semiconductor industry's economic outlook this (2018) year. It is expected that the global semiconductor output value this year is expected to grow by another 10% compared with (2017), which will be higher than the industry’s previous expectations of 7 %.
