According to the latest statistics from market research firm IC Insights, although the growth rate of the global semiconductor market (including ICs, optoelectronic components, sensors and discrete components) was only 2% in 2011, several semiconductor suppliers performed particularly well.

For example, ON Semiconductor acquired its Sanyo semiconductor business and achieved a growth rate of 49% in 2011, and for the first time squeezed into the top 25 semiconductor suppliers in the world. Qualcomm, a communications chip maker, is eager to increase shipments of smartphones. In 2011, semiconductor growth rate was 38%.

But on the other hand, there are also bleak semiconductor industry players - Elpida, the Japanese memory giant that has already called for bankruptcy protection, has a 40% decline in 2011 (if it is in yen, the recession is 45%). ).

Although IC Insights's top 25 global semiconductor suppliers in 2011 ranked 15 companies with annual declines, the world's top 10 semiconductor suppliers grew 7% in 2011, the top 20 in the world. The annual growth rate of the five major semiconductor suppliers is 4%; the above growth rate data is better than the overall semiconductor industry's 2% growth performance.

Intel, the leading company, has a solid position and remained the world's largest semiconductor supplier in 2011; IC Insights noted that Intel has opened up its acquisition of Infineon's wireless chip business. Ranked among the world's second-largest semiconductor maker, Samsung, with an annual performance 48% higher than Samsung and a 24% increase from 2010.

In addition, due to the healthy growth of the graphics processor and communications processor business, Nvidia's 2011 ranking improved five positions, becoming the world's 18th largest semiconductor supplier; Elpida has regressed due to the impact of the DRAM market crash. Six, from the thirteenth in the world to become the world's nineteenth largest semiconductor supplier.

Compared with 2010, almost no memory vendors can maintain high growth rate performance in 2011; on the contrary, several non-memory vendors have won the title of the highest semiconductor supplier with the highest growth rate in 2011. Among them, ON Semiconductor, Intel and Qualcomm, the growth drivers in 2011 were all from the acquisition.

In addition to the aforementioned Ansemite, Qualcomm (acquisition of Atheros) and Intel, Infineon's 2011 growth rate reached 29%; Nvidia and wafer foundry TSMC annual performance growth rate were 10%. However, in the top five memory vendors in the world's top 25 semiconductor suppliers, only Samsung's annual performance has grown.

A total of only nine of the world's top 25 semiconductor suppliers have an annual growth rate that is higher than the annual growth rate of 2% in the overall semiconductor market.
