Sales growth at the world's chipmakers stalled in 2018 following protracted struggles with DRAM oversupply.
According to numbers compiled by Gartner, the semiconductor sector flogged $474.6bn worth of wares in the 12 months, up 12.5 per cent year-on-year - a marked slowdown on the 21.9 per cent annualised hike recorded for 2017.
