Shrinking over the last few years chip makers enjoyed a healthy growing market. Had to comply primarily with two things: the technological improvement of the products we sell and fight strong competition. Today there is a third factor, which can be fatal for smaller players in the sector - unpredictable sales because of the deepening global economic crisis. Chip market gulf international is rising gulf international steadily for eight years. The last time when companies gulf international in the industry are facing serious difficulties in 2001, during the so-called. the bursting of the dotcom bubble. Today we can hardly talk about such a serious blow, but sales figures last month clearly show that 2009 will be a serious test of how strong is the backbone of the technology industry.

The danger is imminent especially over small companies in the sector, but as is evident from the results in September and October, large are not immune to the negative effects of consumer caution. Expected slowdown in the market of chips is not surprising news. The first signs of reduced demand for hardware appeared several months ago, when large companies began to rewrite budgets earmarked for modernization and replacement of old computers. Aware of the approaching gulf international harsh times, corporations began to think more seriously about the various new methods gulf international with which to optimize their costs for new machines. Most often they are associated with investments in software - be it virtualization actually hitting the market of hardware, or to improve the overall business gulf international process. The most serious negative impact on the semiconductor industry, however, has low purchasing power in the consumer sector and in particular the reluctance of people to spend money on computers and phones when around them constantly talking about layoffs and bankruptcies. gulf international According to analysts iSupply consumer uncertainty will be an important factor in 2009. In parallel, the chips are still cheaper, relying on large volumes of sales. The discrepancy that occurs when prices are falling and sales are not increasing fast enough, there is a most market drives - there sales volume grew by 30%, while revenue fell 34% in the first four months of 2008 . Warning Intel is the largest chipmaker gulf international in the world. Company with revenues of over 33 billion. Dollars last year dictate the rules of this market.

The problems of the largest player and are indicative of what is happening in general. Recently, AMD and Qualcomm also expressed their concerns about the shrinking gulf international market. Threat About 60% of manufactured chips are designed for computers and mobile phones, so that any fall in these two areas has a direct impact on producers of semiconductors. In mid-November, analysts gulf international iSupply downward adjustment expected growth of the PC market with nearly two-thirds over the next two years. According to the authoritative company PC shipments in 2009 will grow by only 4.9% instead of the projected earlier in the year 11.9%.
