The international research and consulting firm Gartner released a statistical report today, stating that global semiconductor revenue totaled $315 billion last year, an increase of 5% year-on-year; although Intel's revenue has declined for two consecutive years, it has maintained its position as the leader in the semiconductor industry for 22 consecutive years.
According to Gartner's survey, the combined revenue growth of the top 25 semiconductor manufacturers globally reached 6.9%, far outperforming the performance of other manufacturers in the market, whose revenue growth rate was only 0.9%. Part of the reason can be attributed to the leading manufacturers, many of which are memory manufacturers, showing an impressive revenue growth rate of 23.5%.
Andrew Norwood, Vice President of Research at Gartner, stated that after experiencing a semiconductor inventory surplus and sluggishness at the beginning of last year, revenues continued to strengthen in the second and third quarters, while the fourth quarter began to stabilize.
He emphasized that the growth in memory products, especially in the DRAM industry, is not due to strong demand but rather a reduction in supply leading to price increases. In fact, the overall memory market faced rapid industry changes throughout the year, such as a 9.9% decline in personal computer production and saturation in the high-end smartphone market, with growth shifting to lower-priced yet feature-rich entry-level and mid-range smartphones.
The top ten semiconductor companies are Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, SK Hynix, Micron, Toshiba, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, STMicroelectronics, and Renesas.
Among them, Micron had the largest annual revenue growth rate of 72.3%; SK Hynix had a growth rate of 40.8%. Both companies are major memory manufacturers; Samsung Electronics ranked second for the twelfth consecutive year.
Gartner's survey shows that since 2002, this company's market share in memory has nearly doubled. The reason is that both DRAM and NAND Flash storage have shown significant growth.
Qualcomm, a major mobile chip manufacturer, saw a revenue growth rate of 30.6% last year and ranked third in global revenue. This is attributed to the company's leading position in smartphone application processors and 4G LTE baseband processors.
Outside of the top ten rankings, MediaTek performed best among other manufacturers due to its significant lead in mid-range and low-end mobile chips.
