Research and Markets: Semiconductor Market in Japan 2015-2019 With Renesas Electronics, Sony Semiconductor & Toshiba Dominating

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6lbzwj/semiconductor) has announced the addition of the "Semiconductor Market in Japan 2015-2019" report to their offering.

This report covers the present and future scenarios of the semiconductor market in Japan for the period 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, we used the revenue generated by semiconductor manufacturers, including both pure-play foundries and IDMs, in Japan. The report also considers the domestic semiconductor consumption and the semiconductor imports for estimating the market size.

Portable electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets become obsolete after a short time. This is because of rapid launches of next-version models by vendors. The duration of the replacement-cycle period, on average, is 8-12 months. In the past, the replacement period was much longer. Because of the reduction in product replacement cycle time, the demand for semiconductor wafers in newly launched devices is expected to rise dratically, and this will increase the demand for ICs.

According to the report, the availability of low-cost smartphones in Japan and the increase in the number of mobile broadband subscribers and mobile Internet users are expected to increase the shipment of smartphones by 2019. This is a significant increase on shipments in 2013 and is partly because of regional vendors introducing tablets in Japan. As the number of tablets sold by regional vendors increases, it follows that semiconductor ICs, an integral part of such devices, will undergo a similar rise in demand, leading to market growth during the forecast period.

Further, the report states that the market requires high capital investment, which is a major challenge for its growth.
