Over the last 10 years, the Russian EK market grew four times – from 624 mln. dollars of the USA in 2002 to 2522 mln. dollars in 2012 that there correspond 15% to rate of an annual gain.

Here any more the first year of Frost & Sullivan is engaged in studying of the market of microelectronics in Russia, once again leading experts of the company shared the knowledge of the market within the branch action of SEMICON Russia 2014, largest in Russia. This year Frost & Sullivan acted as the partner of "Conference on microelectronics" which is traditionally held a day before officially opening of an exhibition.
