In addition, by the the operators wireless network deployment, speed of broadband and fiber to the home, as well as 2013 LTE network construction and other factors, optical communication equipment and mobile communication base station equipment faster growth also accelerated the demand for network communication class ICincreases. The field of network communication IC demand growth to become the main driving force to support the growth of the overall market in the first half of 2012.
While global PC shipments growth continued to slow down, but in 2012 the Chinese PC output growth is still more than 10%, overseas emerging markets increased demand for notebook computers and ultra-extreme alternative to the traditional laptop increase in demand is the main reason. In 2012, the major memory manufacturers to cut standard DRAM capacity and fought in the non-standard DRAM products market, driven by the the DRAM average prices experienced a fluctuation from Q3 gradually stabilized rise. NAND Flash market demand, the manufacturers to increase the supply capacity, a slight decline in the average price. Overall, the steady rise of the memory market price largely support the field of computer IC market growth in China, also contributed to the growth of China's IC market as a whole.
Looking ahead to 2013, with the slow improvement of the global economic situation, China's export-driven electronic machine product demand is expected to increase, the OEM manufacturers will expedite the procurement and covering integrated circuit product inventory. Portable smart devices, smart phones, mobile Internet devices sales will continue to maintain rapid growth.
In addition, with the acceptance environment transformation, card issuers, industrial applications, POS and ATM transformation of the progressive completion of major banking and financial IC card issuing and replacement work in 2013 entered a stage of rapid growth, the future prospects of the IC card IC market broad. Overall, China's IC market in 2013 will achieve more stable growth, market growth is expected to reach more than 15%.
