Fuelled by telecom, IT and consumer electronics usage, the total market for semiconductors in India is estimated to touch $5.49 billion by 2009, a compounded annual growth rate of 26.7 per cent over $2.69 billion in 2006, according to a report released by Indian Semiconductor Association (ISA) and Frost & Sullivan.

During the same period, the semiconductor total available market revenue – which reflects the semiconductor consumption only in locally manufactured products – is slated to grow even faster at 35.8 per cent to touch $3.18 billion in 2009, from $1.26 billion in 2006, signifying a scorching pace of domestic manufacturing for different electronic products in India.

India’s share in the global semiconductor market is slated to touch 1.62 per cent by 2009 against 1.09 per cent in 2006.

“The global semiconductor total market is growing at 8-9 per cent CAGR, while the India total market is touching 26.7 per cent CAGR till 2009.”

An ISA report released last year had projected that the overall consumption of semiconductors — or the total market revenues — would reach $3.8 billion and semiconductor total available market revenues would be $1.62 billion in 2006, whereas the update now estimates the actual revenues at $2.69 billion and $1.26 billion, respectively.

So it could be said that in the times to come, Indian Chip Industry could outshine others and we too can become chip providers to the world.

What do you think about it. Give in your views and reviews in the from of a comment.

My semi company, headquartered in USA has multiple product chip modules in development in Bangalore, including a lot of firmware/software development which I guess is easier to move offshore. It is easy to imagine that there is tremendous cost-savings for the company. There is no stopping this tide of moving work to lower labor cost parts of the world as the world develops into truly a global economy. The work moved offshore started from low-tech. services, to complex software and now includes increasingly high-tech design. As long as Indian cos. and engineers continue delivering on the quality of high-tech. designs, there will be no dearth of work for many many years to come. In fact, I would think that the time is ripe for several indigenous fabless semi cos. to crop up in India. Perhaps people in Bangalore/Delhi/Hyd/Pune etc. area can comment on the status of such startups in India. Staying in the USA, I am too far behind the curve on the local semis industry there. Current telltale in the USA is still that if you want to build a high-tech. semi device at a low budget, go to China for hardware and India for software!
