Gartner estimates that the global semiconductor revenue will increase slightly this year compared with last year, and the future momentum will gradually weaken. This year, Intel is still the leading player, while Qualcomm benefits from mobile devices, with an annual growth rate of 36.3%; In the global analog market, DIGITIMESResearch expects to grow steadily.
According to the preliminary statistics of Gartner, an international research and consulting organization, the global semiconductor revenue in 2011 increased slightly by 0.9% compared with 2010, reaching $302 billion.
Gu Neng said that in 2011, Intel was still the leader in the revenue of the top 10 semiconductor manufacturers, with revenue reaching 51.052 billion US dollars, an annual increase of 21.6%; The second place is Samsung Electronics, with annual revenue of $29.15 billion, with an annual increase of 3.7%; The third place is Texas Instruments, with annual revenue of $12.082 billion, with an annual increase of 1.7%.
In addition, driven by mobile devices, Qualcomm's annual revenue is 9.819 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of 36.3%, which is the highest among the top 10 semiconductors, and its revenue ranking has also advanced from the 9th last year to the 6th this year.
In the global analogy market, DIGITIMESResearch expects that it will continue to grow at a steady rate of 5% to 9% from 2011 to 2013, and the overall scale will exceed the $50 billion mark in 2013; According to the Databeans research results, in 2010, the global market share of Texas Instruments (TI) reached 14%, and it firmly took the leading position of the largest analog supplier.
StephanOhr, research director of Gu Neng Semiconductor, said that the semiconductor industry had a good performance at the beginning of this year because of the continuation of the prosperity in 2010; However, as the overall economic uncertainty gradually increased in the middle of the year, consumers delayed buying. In order to avoid taking on more debts, the government suspended the expansion expenditure plan of infrastructure, and the equipment inventory increased with time, and its influence gradually spread to the whole semiconductor industry, showing a relatively weak performance.
