As calculated the research company IC Insights, in 2013 in the formation of 91% of proceeds from sales of semiconductors contract involved a total of 13 companies.
Leader in semiconductors remains contractual Taiwanese company TSMC. In 2013, it earned nearly $ 20 billion in annual revenue TSMC four times the revenue of its nearest competitor - GlobalFoundries company , and 10 times the revenue of the Chinese company SMIC.
Regarding Samsung's interesting to note that it is in the top ten largest producers of semiconductors contract . At the same time Samsung earns 8 times greater than the second such companies - IBM, which today is already in 11th place. But some 10 years ago, IBM was the third largest manufacturer of semiconductors contract. Fifth place in the market keeps the Chinese company SMIC.
Separately Samsung said that the contract capacity of 150,000 estimated at 300-mm wafers per month. Given the fact that today, each such plate with semiconductors worth about $ 3,000, the capacity contract with Samsung is estimated at $ 5.4 billion As you can see, Samsung has the potential for growth in this market. From this it can be also concluded that if Apple will put part of the production of processors for smartphones and tablets to TSMC power, it will be done not because of fear of deficits, and for secure delivery volumes for better tractability and manufacturers on the cost of works.
