Which semiconductor companies saw a global rise in sales?
Global chip sales rise 3.3 pct in March May 1 (Reuters) – Global semiconductor sales rose 3.3 percent in March to $14.7 billion from February, helped by month-to-month gains across all geographic regions except Japan. Sales in Japan fell sharply, hurt by a drop in the country’s economic output, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said. “The modest sequential rebound in worldwide sales in March suggests that demand has stabilized somewhat, albeit at substantially lower levels than last year,” said SIA President George Scalise. First-quarter semiconductor sales fell about 30 percent to $44 billion, on continuing negative impact from the economic slowdown. “We expect economic stimulus measures in the U.S. combined with other countries will begin to impact sales as we enter 2010,” Scalise said.
