According to ICInsights' newly released 2010 global top 20 list of semiconductor suppliers, except for Sony, other players will achieve strong double-digit growth rates this year.
In this preliminary ranking, the gap between the world’s fourth-largest and the fifth-largest semiconductor supplier is only US$50 million, which is TSMC and Texas Instruments; and since the ranking is According to the November McCleanReport data, the degree of competition between the two means that the rank order may change again.
Among the top 20 semiconductor suppliers ranking in ICInsights global, five are memory companies, followed by SAMSung Electronics, Toshiba, Hynix Semiconductor, Micron, and Erbil. Elpida Memory; Samsung, which ranks second in the world, is likely to advance one more position.
ICInsights pointed out that Samsung, which has been a second child for a long time, is expected to take the lead of Intel. In 2009, Intel's performance was 52% higher than that of Samsung. However, this year, the gap between the two parties may be reduced to 23%.
The foundry industry may also perform better on the top 20 global semiconductor supplier rankings. The current ICInsights preliminary list shows that TSMC has made two advances from last year and has come to the fourth place in the world. The UMC rankings jumped from the 25th in 2009 to the 19th.
Japan's Renesas Electronics, a Japanese company that merged with NEC, is expected to rank sixth in the world in 2010. However, if the total revenue of Renesas and NEC in 2009, the company’s ranking should be ranked fourth in the world. (The two companies completed the merger in April this year, but ICInsights estimates that the two companies will combine all the 2009 and 2010 revenues together)
ICInsights estimates that among the top 20 semiconductor suppliers in the world, half of the industry’s performance growth rate is expected to exceed the forecasted growth rate of the overall semiconductor industry by 31%; they include the above-mentioned five memory manufacturers, as well as TSMC, UMC, Broadcom (BrOAdcom), Infineon (Infineon) and Texas Instruments.
