   The global semiconductor industry McClean forecasting annual growth of long-term can reach 9-10%, mainly because the next few years the asp be stable or chip growth. Insight and by McClean think IC market analysis between the company and the other difference is that they all think that even if the number of annual chip demand growth, but 10% each year is 4% of asp decline, so future semiconductor industry growth only 5-6%.

Malcolm Penn says if from nearly 10 years of asp look, has been appeared inflection point, from 2009 q4 is prevented began, and rises fall for no asp.

Penn forecast 2011 global semiconductor 9% growth, and when in December had forecast growth of about 6%. It think asp is on the rise, and may be in double digits. Despite recent regardless of Intel, samsung and TSMC announced sharp increase investment, all with global 2012 but 2011 manufacturing capacity remains tight, fab investment hasn't overheat. Penn added that the global semiconductor industry in 2012 might have 16% growth, and 2013 could fall 2%, seems too much output expansion of the decline and no combat market.
