Compound Semiconductor Industry Takes Recession Hit
Revenues Declined by Average of 15% in Q4 2008
Boston, MA - 2 April 2009 - The Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies (GaAs) service, releasing its regular analysis of compound semiconductor industry news covering microelectronics, optoelectronics and materials/equipment markets, summarized the 2008 quarterly results for a number of industry players as a guideline to the overall health of the industry.
Analyzing 2008 fourth quarter results, Strategy Analytics describes the depth of damage caused by the abrupt drop-off in fourth quarter sales, as demand from end markets ground to a halt. A financial performance snapshot of companies offering optoelectronic products, materials and equipment shows a similar story to the RF market, with sequential revenues declining and profitability also taking a beating in the final quarter of 2008.
"Quarterly revenues dropped sequentially at an average of 15% for the industry, with individual companies seeing their revenues drop anywhere from 10% to 30%," observed Asif Anwar at Strategy Analytics. "Profitability was also hit. In some cases, exceptional charges related to merger and acquisition activity over the past 12 to 18 months compounded the ability of companies to generate positive net income."
Mr. Anwar concluded, "While the first quarter in 2009 will see further sequential reductions in revenue, Strategy Analytics believes that pockets of recovery will emerge in the second quarter, and current indicators suggest that the industry will start to see growth from the second half of 2009 moving into 2010."
The Compound Semiconductor Industry Review reports for February 2009 covering microelectronics, optoelectronics and materials/equipment market are available now at www.strategyanalytics.com
