Key Findings 

 - The growth in the year 2006 was driven primarily by DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and wireless chip sales to telecom equipment manufacturers.
 - The Asia-Pacific market has outperformed the global average industry growth due to growing demand. Demand for Products, which use semiconductor such as computers and consumer electronics in China and India is growing, and is leading to escalating demand for semiconductor components.
-  The companies had grown impressively by registering high growth rates during 2004 and 2005, for example Samsung Electronics in China grew by over 70% from the year 2004.
-  As 300 mm wafers size fabrication is growing in importance, many companies are looking forward to set-up the 300 mm fabrication plant.
-  The rise in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) sales during first six months of 2006 was primarily driven by the increased capacity requirements for testers for SOC (System-on-a-chip) and memory, especially flash.
