2020 proved to be one of the more unique years in recent times in terms of semiconductor market performance. Pre-2020 market forecasts were quickly and fundamentally rethought at the start of the year, as the COVID-19 pandemic upended the world. Significant uncertainly on how semiconductor sales would react to the pandemic existed for much of the year, especially during the first half. As monthly World Semiconductor Trade Statistics sales figures rolled in through the latter half of 2020, it became clear 2020 sales would end up better than most had initially feared.
Please join a panel of semiconductor market experts to help us make sense of the trends that shaped the semiconductor market in 2020 and look ahead to what the market has in store for 2021. Panelists include: Andrea Lati, Vice President, Market Research at VLSI Research; Dale Ford, Chief Analyst at the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA); and C.J. Muse, Senior Managing Director, Head of Global Semiconductor Research at Evercore ISI. The session will be moderated by Falan Yinug, Director of Industry Statistics and Economy Policy at SIA.
