Semiconductor Execs Say China Continues as Key Driver for Industry Growth,
KPMG Study Finds
|
| Nov 19, 2009 |
| With an eye on the huge market opportunities in China, semiconductor executives are expressing renewed confidence that their industry will see greater revenue during 2010, with some increase in profitability and with trailing job growth, according to a global survey conducted by KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm. The executives who responded to the survey also anticipate moderate increases, less than revenue, in capital expenditures and research and development next year, particularly in the areas of energy efficient and renewable technology. Yet, the path forward seems to carry some uncertainty with no real consensus on the shape of the recovery. [PR Newswire] |
