"During the 2020 corona pandemic, the global microelectronics market grew by 6.8 percent to 440 billion US dollars compared to the previous year," said Dr. Sven Baumann, ZVEI expert for microelectronics, sensors and actuators, on the occasion of the ZVEI press conference to present the current ZVEI microelectronics trend analysis.
