IC Insight, a market research company, recently released the first quarter of the global semiconductor market statistics report. Intel remains the largest semiconductor supplier and continues to expand its leading edge, with sales exceeding Samsung's 44%.

Although Nvidia's semiconductor revenue in the first quarter decreased by 6% year-on-year, it replaced Matsushita's 20th place among global semiconductor suppliers, which reported a 9% year-on-year drop in revenue. According to IC Insight, Marvell and ON Semiconductor should also be among the Top 20, and with the completion of the acquisition of Sanyo Semiconductor in the first quarter of this year, ON Semiconductor’s revenue will be lower than that of professional wafer foundry companies. The $550 million in the same period last year increased to $871 million, an increase of 58%.

The top 20 semiconductor manufacturers in the first quarter increased their total revenue by 11% year-on-year, which is a percentage point higher than the 10% growth forecast for global semiconductor market made by IC Insight this year. Most of the manufacturers’ revenues are also higher year-on-year. Growth.

In addition to Elpida, the top 20 memory chip suppliers in the top 20 showed a year-on-year growth. The strong growth in flash product sales offset the downturn in the memory market. Samsung, Micron and Toshiba’s revenues in the first quarter were double. The number of digits increases. As Elpida was too dependent on the memory business, its revenue decreased 31% year-on-year.

IC Insight said that of the top 20 companies, only 7 companies had revenue growth that exceeded the industry's growth rate of 10%, and among the 7 companies, only Samsung is a storage chip manufacturer, and the remaining six manufacturers are Intel, TSMC, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Fujitsu and Freescale.
