LONDON — The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has released its annual mid-year forecast and is projecting worldwide sales of $195.6 billion for 2009, a decline of 21.3 percent from sales of $248.6 billion in 2008.

The SIA projects that sales will begin to rebound in 2010, with year-on-year growth of 6.5 percent to $208.3 billion, followed by 6.5 percent growth in 2011 to $221.9 billion.

The figures differ slightly from those of World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, the body from SIA's historical numbers are derived.
