According to foreign media reports, data from research institutions, the world’s largest manufacturer of memory chips Samsung Electronics, in the second half of last year, although affected by the decline in prices and demand for memory chips, their semiconductor business revenue, but for the whole year, they are still the highest revenue of semiconductor manufacturers.
According to reports from research institutions, Samsung Electronics’ semiconductor business revenue last year was 65.585 billion US dollars (currently about 443.355 billion CNY), accounting for 10.9% of global semiconductor revenue, and it is the only company with a share of more than 10%. % of manufacturers.
However, reports from research institutions also show that the decline in demand for memory chips has also led to a year-on-year decline in Samsung Electronics’ semiconductor business revenue, which is less than US $73.197 billion in 2021 (currently about 494.812 billion CNY), a year-on-year decline of 10.4%. .
After Samsung Electronics, the top ten semiconductor suppliers by revenue are Intel, SK Hynix, Qualcomm, Micron, Broadcom, AMD, Texas Instruments, MediaTek and Apple. The revenue of Intel, SK Hynix and Micron also declined year-on-year, and the rest of the manufacturers all had a certain increase. Among them, AMD, which had the highest growth rate, increased by 42.6% year-on-year.
However, the semiconductor manufacturers mentioned in the research institute’s report do not include the wafer foundry TSMC. TSMC’s financial report shows that their revenue last year was 75.881 billion US dollars (currently about 512.956 billion CNY), a year-on-year increase of more than 30%. Therefore, if you count TSMC, they will be the largest manufacturer, and Samsung Electronics will be the second largest manufacturer.
