After years of double-digit annual growth, China's semiconductor sales revenues in 2008 are expected to rise by only 6.7% to reach US$81.7 billion, up from US$76.6 billion in 2007, iSuppli predicts. However, China's fabless IC industry is expected to perform better, expanding by 12.3% to reach US$3.5 billion in 2008, up from US$3.1 billion in 2007. [Source: DigiTimes / 11-19]
