Industries + Sectors

At Global PMI Partners we work with clients across many industry sectors. Our approach to consulting necessarily requires teamwork and collaboration with you because we believe that no one external knows your industry or your business like you do. However, semiconductor trends and specifics do impact M&A strategy and execution which vary from other industries. We understand these and bring lessons, customized solutions and proven experience from other semiconductor M&A deals.

Industry trends

• Bigger manufacturing plants define global capacity and competitiveness
• Of the industry’s 11 subsectors, 8 are growing, and 3 are neutral, resulting in an overall positive outlook
• Shrinking traditional market (PC’s) that still ships the bulk of the products
• Emerging subsectors with extremely strong growth potential drive the industry
• Cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence increase demand for servers and data centers
• Car and consumer tech moving to the internet of things (IoT)
