The SIA has posted the semiconductor market's year-end total.  Revenues were up 6.5% over 2019, impressively above the industry's 3.9% average annual growth.  This is even more impressive given that the year started off with a consumer slump as the pandemic emerged.

HDD capacity shipments exceeded 1 ZB for the first time in 2020.  Continued growth of nearline colder storage will drive HDD shipping capacity to about 3 times that amount by 2026.  Q4 2020 was up due to renewed nearline HDD strength and increased demand for other applications.
