Research Institute IC Insights released a report on March 29th that optoelectronic devices, sensors, and discrete devices (collectively referred to as "OSD") as the semiconductor industry's three market segments, achieved a total of 75.3 billion U.S. dollars in sales in 2017, a year-on-year increase. 11% is the year with the highest sales growth in 2010.
According to the report, the growth of OSD's three market segments in 2018 will slow down. The overall sales growth will be 8%, of which optoelectronic devices will grow by 8%, sensors will increase by 10%, and discrete devices will increase by 5%. In the next five years, driven by strong demand for communications upgrades, image recognition, intelligent control systems, and Internet of things equipment, total OSD sales in 2022 will reach US$102.3 billion, and sales of optoelectronic devices will grow at a compound annual rate of 7.3% in 2017. The rate will increase to 52.4 billion U.S. dollars, and the sensor will grow at a CAGR of 8.9% to US$21.2 billion. The discrete devices will increase to an average of 28.7 billion U.S. dollars at an average annual rate of 3.1%.
