米国における半導体産業の分析

Abstract

The first five years of the 1990s were a period of tremendous growth for the semiconductor materials industry. The increase in production of computers swelled the need for semiconductors, as did the significant increase in semiconductor orders from the communications industry, various consumer products manufacturers, and the automotive industry. The US re-emerged over Japan as the largest producer of semiconductors in 1995.

The United States faces a growing threat to its leadership of the world semiconductor industry. A combination of market forces and foreign industrial policies is creating powerful incentives to shift new chip production offshore. If this trend continues, the U.S. lead in chip manufacturing, equipment, and design may well erode, with important and unpleasant consequences for U.S. productivity growth and, ultimately, the country' s economic and military security. To address this challenge, U.S. industry and the government need to cooperate to determine their response.

The US represents a leading market for semiconductors, primarily due to its vast electronic-based sectors. In 2010, the US semiconductors market is forecast to have a value of $55.4 billion, an increase of 29% since 2005. Integrated circuits are the leading sector in the semiconductors market generating 89.1% of the market' s value.
