Global semiconductor revenue exceeds US$300 billion in 2010

According to a preliminary survey conducted by Gartner, a global technology research and consulting firm, after a global economic downturn, the global semiconductor market rebounded in 2010, and total revenue reached US$300.3 billion, an increase of 31.5% over 2009.

Stephan Ohr, director of research at Gartner Semiconductor, said: "In 2010, the semiconductor market was driven by suppressed demand from system makers who were scrambling to purchase parts because of depletion of inventory. Integrated equipment manufacturers (IDM) and foundry manufacturers also Both are actively expanding their production capacity.In the third quarter, as demand slowed down and consumer confidence weakened, delivery times slowed down and inventory began to accumulate. However, semiconductor suppliers are trying to solve the backlog of orders and will become semiconductors in 2010. The iconic year of the industry."

In 2010, the semiconductor market rebounded from a 10% decline in 2009. The overall semiconductor industry revenue in 2010 increased by 71.9 billion U.S. dollars, which is the largest increase in the semiconductor industry in any single year. In history, there were only 1988. In 1995 and 2000, the revenue increased by more than 30% in a single year. This year, the semiconductor industry’s revenue reached US$300 billion, becoming a landmark achievement of the industry.

In 2010, Intel ranked first in 19 consecutive years, but its market share dropped from 14.2% in 2009 to 13.8% this year. With the strong inventory expectations for the PC market in the second half of 2010, Intel experienced strong growth in the first half of this year, but as consumer confidence weakened, the growth momentum in the third quarter weakened. The sale of small laptops, Intel's unique field of this is particularly disappointing.

In 2010, Samsung Electronics, Toshiba, and Texas Instruments performed well and ranked second, third, and fourth respectively in the top ten list. Samsung's annual growth is strong as Samsung is active in the booming DRAM and NAND flash memory markets. Memory sales account for 80% of the company's sales. Toshiba has seen growth in its NAND flash business for mobile devices and discrete, ASIC and ASSP services. In 2010, Texas Instruments had a good year. The company’s semiconductor business revenue grew by 35.2%, and the simulated business revenue grew by more than 41%. Renesas Electronics, which recently entered the top ten list, ranked fifth this year. The company was formed from the merger of NEC Electronics and Renesas Technology on April 1, 2010. In addition, in the top ten list, Micron Technology has risen five ranks, ranking eighth in the list, thanks mainly to its acquisition of Numonyx, which enabled the company to acquire Numonyx in 2010.
