| ISA-F&S: India growing almost thrice as faster as global semicon |
| Source: CIOL, August 31 2007 |
| |
| According to India Semiconductor Association (ISA) and Frost & Sullivan (ISA-F&S), India's 2007 annual growth in semiconductor market is nearly triple the rate at which the global semiconductor market is expanding. The actual total market (TM) was $2.69bn and TAM was $1.26bn. By 2009, the TM will grow at CAGR of 26.7 percent to $5.49bn and total available market (TAM) will grow at CAGR of 36 percent to $3.18bn.
Anand Rangachary, Managing Director, South Asia & Middle East, Frost & Sullivan, said: "The global semiconductor total market is growing at a rate of 8-9 percent CAGR, whereas the India total market is growing at 26.7 percent CAGR till 2009. India, which represented 1.09 percent of the global semiconductor market in 2006 will be 1.62 percent by 2009. As domestic demand for all electronics products is growing India is emerging as one of the fastest growing region in the world."
India is one of the fastest growing regions in the world. TAM growth rate at CAGR 36 percent, compared to 26.7 percent of TM CAGR signifies higher growth in local manufacturing of electronics products. In the industry, the technology change is so dynamic that every year, a new application/product gets launched, which changes the demand forecast by many ways (eg. launch of iPOD or iPhone/ WiMAX/GPON/LCD TV) as well as ASP changes.
The government rules change demand, and therefore ISA captures these changes on a real-time basis. Hence, ISA decided to have an annual update of the India market report. All of these changes are well captured in the current report and India's growth looks almost three times compared to the global growth rate.
The ISA-F&S semiconductor market report 2006 forecast the Indian TM revenues to touch $3.8 billion and TAM revenues to touch $1.62 billion in 2006. The report update estimated TM at $2.69 billion and TAM at $1.26 billion. A sharp decline in various semiconductor ASPs in different end-user product categories contributed to the shortfall between the forecast and actual market estimates.
As per the ISA-Frost & Sullivan Report 2007-08, the TM revenues for semiconductors in India during 2006 were estimated at $2.69 billion. Telecom, IT and office automation (IT & OA), and consumer electronics segments contributed to 82.6 percent of the TAM revenues. Growth of these key user segments is anticipated to catapult the semiconductor TM revenues to $5.49 billion in 2009, growing at a CAGR of 26.7 percent.
The TAM revenues were estimated at $1.26 billion in 2006. This is approximately 50 percent of the TM, which highlights that the other half of the semiconductor market is waiting to be tapped. A reduction in the gap between TM and TAM is likely by 2009, as the semiconductor TAM revenues are set to grow at a CAGR of 36 percent. Semiconductor TAMs are likely to touch $3.18 billion by the end of the forecast period.
 Some of the contributing end-user product categories are listed below:
i) Decline has been sharpest in mobile handsets, where the electronics bill-of-materials (BoM) per unit witnessed a steep decline from $25.7 to $11. Given the significant volumes generated by this market, this 43 percent average selling price (ASP) decline impacted TM and TAM revenues.
ii) A decline in prices of discrete and memory products reduced the contribution of color TVs toward semiconductor TAM revenues.
iii) The CorDECT market, which was anticipated to generate high volumes 650,000 lines, realized only 30,000 lines in 2006, thereby adversly impacting revenues.
iv) The eBoM for modems witnessed a sharp decline from $20.75 to $4.9 per unit over the past two years.
v) Monitors, a key volume driver in the IT and OA segment, experienced decline in its eBoM from $7.85 to $5.75 per unit.
vi) The engine management systems (EMS) market growth weakened as the overall vehicle market growth failed to sustain its momentum. Decline in eBoM per unit of EMS $21 to $14.8 also contributed to the lower revenue realization.
Globally, the semiconductor industry's growth cycle is driven by certain product categories. The semiconductor ASP of these product categories plummet with increasing consumption and supply, supplemented by technology advancement, thus affecting revenues.
Speaking on the occasion of the release of the report, Poornima Shenoy, President, India Semiconductor Association, said: "The Indian marketplace is rapidly evolving with changing dynamics. These findings are pointers to the direction in which the semiconductor market is headed. The decision to update the report is due to the evolving market place, new technology innovation and constantly changing dynamics."

| India shines: April-June GDP grows 9.3 per cent |
| Source: The Economic Times, August 31 2007 |
India's economy in the April-June quarter grew a faster-than-expected 9.3 per cent from a year earlier, led by robust manufacturing and services, but analysts said the pace could moderate in coming quarters.
The annual growth rate for India's fiscal first quarter published on Friday topped both a median forecast of 8.9 percent in a poll and growth of 9.1 per cent the previous quarter.
The stock market extended its strong opening gains after the data. The rupee was little changed around 41.02 per dollar, and the benchmark 10-year bond edged up 1 basis point to 7.92 percent.
Analysts said the strong growth did not mean the central bank was likely to resume raising interest rates, but said it showed the need for vigilance against a build-up of price pressures.
"This number is good, but does not suggest any need for monetary tightening and we expect the current stance to continue as inflation has come off substantially," said JP Morgan economist Rajeev Malik.
"We see moderation in growth in coming quarters."
Manufacturing grew an annual 11.9 percent in the April-June quarter, lower than the 12.4 percent in the previous three months.
Services grew at an annual pace of 10.6 percent, while farming, which the government is trying to revive, expanded by 3.8 per cent, matching the previous quarter's growth rate.
Asia's third-largest economy grew 9.4 percent in the fiscal year that ended March 2007, its fastest rate in 18 years, and the central bank expects expansion of 8.5 percent this fiscal year.
The central bank raised interest rates five times between June 2006 and March this year and has also increased banks' reserve requirements, measures that have cooled the property market and calmed inflation and loan demand.
"Growth will be about 9 percent in the coming quarters. There is no need to change the monetary stance, but there has to be a close monitoring," said Saumitra Chaudhuri, economic adviser at domestic ratings agency ICRA.
India is now a $1 trillion economy after a growth spurt in the past four years second only to China's hot pace of expansion among major economies. This has given it increasing muscle in world trade talks and seen it invited to meetings of the world's leading industrialised economies.
The central bank said on Thursday India was on the verge of a step-up in its growth trajectory but only if accompanied by vigilance on price and financial stability.
Some economists see the economy averaging 7-8 percent for the next few years due to private sector expansion and rising demand from a growing middle class.
Analysts say this will buttress the domestic economy in the event of a slowdown in demand around the world due to problems in the US home loan market.
The scorching pace has generated jobs but it has also put pressure on roads, ports and other infrastructure, and increased wage and price pressures.

There is a saying among suppliers of semiconductors and other electronic products to the booming Brazilian market: "Miami is Brazil." The reference is to the percentage of foreign-made chips and other products that are shipped from Miami into Peru and then illegally smuggled into Brazil. Smuggling, of course, is a way to avoid import duties, which for products like semiconductors can range from 5 percent to 10 percent in Brazil, according to analysts.

| Is that a fab story? |

The much-awaited guidelines on the semiconductor policy, expected to bring in investments worth billions of dollars, is likely to be announced by the end of the week. The guidelines would help Intel, Siemens, Texas, Videocon, Moser Baer and others to firm up their plans to set up semiconductor manufacturing facilities in India.
"We have got the required clarifications from the law and finance ministries and a detailed guideline on the proposed sops including tax breaks will be announced in a couple of days or latest by the weekend," a highly-placed source in the ministry of information technology said.
While Videocon, Hindustan Semiconductor and SemIndia have announced their investment plans for the fab units, others are expected to follow soon.
The new guidelines have not proposed any changes in the fab policy which was announced in March, an official said, adding that the guidelines have provided a detailed clarification on getting the tax-breaks and the legal remedies. "The guidelines have also provided clarifications on the auditing requirements for the companies," he said.
The delay in announcement of a clear-cut guideline on setting up the units was a cause of concern for the companies as the cost of new fabs is escalating. According to industry estimates, the costs of new fabs has gone up by 25 percent in the last six month. Considering that it required an investment of about $3-4 billion to set up a fab unit, the cost escalation could have adversely affected the company's plans.
"The detailed guidelines would help the industry achieve the financial closure as we expect clarity on every front including tax-related benefits and other things. Even new companies are expected to announce their plans once the detailed guidelines are in place. The policy is a big boost for the industry and the guidelines will make it easier for the companies to chart out their plans," Moser Baer executive director Ratul Puri said.
According to the policy, the government would provide an incentive of up to 20 percent of the capital expenditure to the companies desirous ofsetting up fab units in the country. The incentive would be applicable for capital expenditure during the first 10 years and the minimum investment required for getting the incentive is $550 million for a fab unit while the same is $220 million for manufacturing products such as storage devices, micro and nano technology products and organic light emitting diodes, as well as for assembling such products.
Participating companies will have to set up the units in SEZs to qualify for special tax incentives and tax holidays and the subsidy will be in the form of tax breaks and interest-free loans, according to the draft policy.
The policy states that if the unit is located outside the SEZs, the incentive would total 25 percent of the capital subsidy for the first 10 years while countervailing duty on capital goods would be exempted.

| Credit crunch may hit semiconductor industry |
| Source: Mint, September 4 2007 |

Private-equity interest has helped fuel consolidation in the semiconductor industry, but with global credit conditions tightening, that interest is likely to subside as deals in the volatile sector entail a higher degree of risk.
"Many deals that were marginal can no longer be done," said Vince Feng, managing director at private-equity firm General Atlantic in Hong Kong.
The shift in investors' appetite for risky deals comes as Sanyo Electric Co. is seeking a buyer for its struggling semiconductor unit, while United
Test & Assembly Center Ltd., a Singapore-based chip testing and assembly company, has also put itself up for sale. Al though these deals are likely to happen, in part because some of the financing was secured earlier, they may be the last to come for a while in the industry, observers said.
Bids for Sanyo Electric's chip unit were due Friday. At least two private-equity consortia had earlier expressed interest according to people familiar with the deal, though it wasn't clear how many of the r esubmitted a bid. Likely bidders include a consortium consisting of Francisco Partners Management LLC, CCMP Capital Asia Ltd. and Longreach Group Ltd and another made up of Blackstone Group LP, Vestar Capital Partners and CVC Capital Partners Ltd, those people have said. Bidding is expected to go for more than $859 million. |

Industry associations from India and Taiwan have signed an agreement to work more closely in the future on semiconductor technology, including building better business ties and finding further areas for collaboration.
The India Semiconductor Association and Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association pledged in a memorandum of understanding signed Monday, to host more meetings, organize more events, seek out business opportunities, help companies from each place find partners, create an information database and more as time goes on.
The agreement ties together one of the world's largest semiconductor producing economies, Taiwan, to one of the fastest growing markets in the world, India. India is also keen to build up its semiconductor prowess, officials said.
Taiwan is home to the world's two largest contract chip makers, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), as well as the biggest chip packaging and testing company, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc. The island also boasts the second biggest chip design industry by revenue, behind only the U.S., and recent investment in computer memory chips has also transformed Taiwan into a DRAM powerhouse. The island makes nearly a fifth of the world's DRAM, and companies are fast moving into NAND flash memory.
Some Taiwanese companies have already taken advantage of opportunities in India. MediaTek Inc., Taiwan's largest chip design firm and the biggest maker of chips for optical drives such as DVD players, has already set up a software development center in Noida, India. The center is key to one of MediaTek's top selling products, mobile phone chips. Not only does the Indian office create the user interface for MediaTek mobile phone products, but it is also a point from which the company can tap India's fast-growing mobile phone industry.
MediaTek is already one of the top mobile phone chip makers in the China market.
India boasts the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world, making it an important place for chip makers to set up shop. The nation added 8.06 million new subscribers in July, raising its total to 192.98 million, according to the according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). By comparison, the number of mobile phone subscribers in China rose to 508.56 million at the end of July, an addition of 6.9 million new users in the month, according to China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII).
A number of chip companies from around the world have established research centers in India. Qualcomm Inc., the largest chip design house by revenue and a major U.S. mobile chip company, has also opened a software and chip development lab in India. The company uses it as a base for research and development as well as a place from which to promote its CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology, according to its Web site. |

| Asia, the Pied Piper of global R&D |
| Source: R Jai Krishna, CIOL, August 27 2007 |

Researchers at the University of Sheffield and Aston Business School have found that investment in Research and Development (R&D) is rapidly shifting from North America and Europe to Asia, resulting in a small elite club of regions, in both the advanced and developing world, which is dominating the global knowledge economy.
In their findings, which were released today, the researchers found that companies in advanced regions, including the Silicon Valley in the US, Cambridge in the UK, Ottawa in Canada and Helsinki in Finland, are increasingly establishing partnerships and networks with companies and universities in the fast-developing Asian regions.
They found that of the $50 billion invested by multinational companies in R&D projects around the world between 2002 and 2005, Asian economies received 58 per cent of the investment, with Europe receiving 22 per cent and North America 14 per cent. The majority of the investment in Asia is concentrated in a very small number of locations, such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai in India and Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai in China.
While Asia was the dominant destination of R&D investment, North America was the primary source, accounting for 50 per cent of R&D investment, followed by Europe with 28 per cent. This resulted in North America having net R&D investment deficit of $18 billion and Europe a deficit of $3 billion.
According to the authors of Competing for Knowledge, Dr Robert Huggins of the University of Sheffield’s Management School and Dr Hiro Izushi of Aston Business School, the key impact of this global redistribution of knowledge is that many regions in North America and Europe are losing out and the competitiveness gap between these locations and the elite regions is becoming even wider.
The research also shows that companies in advanced economies are finding it increasingly difficult to create innovations resulting in market-leading goods and services. For example, between 1996 and 2006, productivity growth resulting from innovation in the US amounted to only 1.5 per cent per annum, considerably lower than that achieved in the 1950s or 1960s.
As the knowledge required to produce innovations becomes more specialised and located in new locations around the world, companies are having to ensure that they are closely linked and aligned with these new sources wherever they may be. Since China is now the second highest research spender, it is increasingly likely that it will feature more prominently as one of these new sources, said Dr Huggins. |

US-based solar energy technology company SolFocus has raised $52 million (euro 38 million) in funding from venture capital funds and strategic investors. This includes $27.4 million (euro 20 million) in Series A financing for SolFocus Europe, and the balance as Series B financing for SolFocus, Inc.
Both the financings have been led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and joined by Moser Baer India, Ltd., David Gelbaum, Metasystem Group, NGEN Partners, Yellowstone Capital Inc., and others. SolFocus, in fact, is targeting to raise $70 million in venture capital, according to Venture Wire. They have done the first close at $52 million.
SolFocus raised $32 million in its Series A funding in mid-2006, which was also led by NEA, and joined by investors like Moser Baer Photo Voltaic, who had invested $7 million. SolFocus is a Palo Alto-based concentration photo voltaic company. SolFocus Europe is headquartered in Madrid, Spain.
As far as Moser Baer is concerned, SolFocus is one of the three investments it has made in the US in the solar energy space. It invested an undisclosed sum in Silicon Valley-based Stion Corporation, a company that develops photovoltaic cell technologies. This company, earlier called NStructures, had raised $3.15 million from Khosla Ventures and Braemar Energy.
Moser Baer also participated in a $22 million round in Solaria, another US based company that has developed a cheaper technology to produce solar cells. Moser Baer was joined by a group of investors which include Q-Cells, the second largest producer of silicon solar cells, and venture capital firms Sigma Partners and NGEN Partners. |

| 'India will emerge among top 3 economic powers in 25 years' |
| Source: The Hindu Business Line, September 6 2007 |
| |
Global chip giant Intel today announced an alliance of 16 companies under its ‘World Ahead Program’ to apply technology in health, education and rural empowerment in the country, while its Chairman Dr Craig Barrett exuded confidence that India would emerge among the top three economic powers in the next 20-25 years.
Dr Barrett, who is currently on the last leg of his India visit, said while the country had been a bit slow in bringing out semiconductor policy, thereby missing the window on Intel’s manufacturing facility for now, India is still rated high on its list for future capacity building.
Asking the Government not to protect legacy technologies, he said that the company was in discussion with the Government for “including WiMax in 3G spectrum capabilities”.
“My past comments on the need for Government to be technology-neutral are generic, and not targeted at India, in particular. New broadband and wireless technologies can improve connectivity for countries such as India and therefore countries need to make sure that they take a technology-neutral approach and not protect legacy technologies,” Dr Barrett said at a conference here.
Responding to media queries on the company’s chip manufacturing plans, he pointed out that Intel worked out its manufacturing capacity planning “years in advance”.
He further asserted that India would become a strong economic powerhouse in the coming years.
“If India continues to grow at over 8 per cent, one can do the maths and see how long it takes for India to come in the top three economies worldwide. Countries like India and China will have faster rate of growth than the developed nations. Depending on how you do the maths it is inevitable, in 20-25 years,” he said. Separately, Mr Barrett said Intel expected to respond soon to the US Federal Trade Commission on a likely deal with STMicroelectronics N. V. (STM).
Deal with STMicro
“The FTC has requested for additional minor information. We expect a very rapid response back to FTC and then a rapid response from FTC back to us,” he said.
World Ahead Alliance
Meanwhile, the 16 Indian companies which are a part of World Ahead Alliance include Apollo, NIIT Ltd, Comat Technologies, Digital Empowerment Foundation, Educomp Solutions, eGovServices, Fortis Healthcare, Karishma Software, Manipal University, Sankara Nethralaya, SN Informatics, SREI SAHAJ e-Village, and TCS.
Many of these companies have played a key role in helping Intel develop and deploy technology and training solutions in the areas of e-government, e-health, rural empowerment and education, the company said.
Intel India today also signed an agreement with New Delhi affiliate of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation to create a partnership focused on advancing Intel’s education initiatives.
The MoU calls for UNESCO and Intel to work jointly in the areas such as teacher professional development, developing policies for innovative use of technology in curriculum and promoting scientific research in education. |
