This year (2022) will also provide the sales ranking of the semiconductor vendor (ranking in 2021) and its commentary announced by the semiconductor market research company.In a word, 2021 was an "abnormal" year.Among companies listed in the ranking, four companies have a very high growth rate exceeding 50%.The sales of the entire semiconductor vendor (equivalent to the semiconductor world market) increased by about 25%year -on -year.On the other hand, Intel, who has been in the lead or second place, has only grown zero.
In the semiconductor industry, the market research company IC Insights will refer to the sales ranking forecast (estimated) announced in November every year, and the sales ranking (preliminary value) announced in January of the following year by the market research company GARTNER.There are many things.This season, IC Insights announced a ranking of 17 semiconductor vendors with more than $ 10 billion in sales on December 20, 2021 (US time), slightly later.Gartner announced the ranking of the top 10 companies on January 19, 2022.
In the ranking of 2021, Samsung Electronics was the leader for the first time in three years, and the top was recaptured from Intel, the leader of the previous year (2020).Zero growth Intel ranked second in second place.Insufficient supply of semiconductor market conditions in 2020 was rarely resolved in 2021, and major semiconductor vendors have increased sales significantly, except for some companies.In particular, semiconductors for mobile phone systems, accelerators for machine learning, and data centers server processors in particular, vendors who supply semiconductors to these markets have increased their rankings.
