A few days ago IC Insights company analysts have updated their report on the work of the semiconductor industry companies in the first calendar quarter of 2014. A number of companies joined together, and it allowed to make a breakthrough, as there was a significant rise in business of separate companies. IC Insights report feature is that it takes into account all shipments of semiconductors companies from manufacturers to software developers.
If briefly run through the list of the top 20 semiconductor suppliers (ICs, optoelectronics, sensors and discrete components), you'll find three pure contract manufacturers (TSMC, GlobalFoundries and UMC) and six other companies. What is also interesting is the four leaders of companies with different business practices. Intel company produces mainly their design, Samsung product for itself and others, TSMC - pure contractor and Qualcomm only developer. Geography of the leading companies also wide. Represented the United States, Taiwan, Europe, South Korea, Japan and Singapore.
Outside the top five three companies showed significant business growth for the year. MediaTek company could go from 16 seats in the first quarter of 2013 to the 12th position. Partly due to the increased supply of MediaTek merge with the company's business MStar in February 2013. . Together with MStar annual revenue MediaTek grow to at least $ 6 billion
In May 2014 Avago completed takeover of LSI Corp. Combined sales of semiconductors after mergers promise to exceed $ 5 billion , of course, Micron Elpida, whose turnover by the end of 2014 could exceed $ 17 billion in the table. In February this year, Fujitsu and Panasonic have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the BIS-merger business. If this merger happens, the new company could take 16th place in the list of the top 20 players in the semiconductor market with a turnover in the first quarter at $ 1.25 billion ($ 1.44 in the first quarter of 2013).
A total of 20 leading companies in the semiconductor sector for the year increased quarterly sales by 9%, which is 2% higher than the projected figures. You can also see that all leaders have earned in the first quarter of 2014 is at least $ 1 billion difference in the growth of sales between companies Twenty of 58%: MediaTek / MStar company were top gainers with a rise of 48%, and the company ST showed a decrease of 10 % (excluding products ST-Ericsson, which came out of the joint venture).
Finally, the second table is a way to advance in the first place most rapidly developing company. From this list, 10 leaders were either memory manufacturers (SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung), or facilitated the factory model (MediaTek, AMD, Infineon, Freescale, Avago / LSI, NXP and NVIDIA).
