Globally, 2005 was a decent year, driven by consumer devices (cell phones, personal computers and new video games) plus a rebound in the telecom/datacom sector....
World electronic equipment production grew over 8%, printed circuit
boards were up 6% and semiconductors 7%. Only the capital equipment
suppliers (SEMI and PCB CAPEX) continued their normal—trailing
indicator—position in the business cycle. SEMI equipment was down 11%
in 2005, but a 9% recovery is predicted for 2006.
