IHS iSuppli market research shows, Samsung Electronics in the semiconductor industry to grow steadily, 2010 further approximation Intel occupied chip market dominance. In 10 years, no one from companies like Samsung so close to this position.

　　The newly released 2010 final market share ranking, ranking second in the Samsung global chip sales accounted for 9.2%, than just sit tight in the long-term Toubajiaoyi American Intel 4.1 percentage points behind. Samsung 2009 share is 7.6%.

　　Samsung ’s rise, is a recent 10 year global semiconductor market in the major events of the. In the discussion of Intel’s rival, the experts will almost always focus on the AMD. Although AMD does is Intel micro processing unit ( MPU ) market in the main rival, but Samsung is with Intel for the overall semiconductor market share of the enemy. Over the years, Intel and Samsung have been ranked first and second respectively.

　　2001, Intel ’s market share is 14.9%, was ranked fifth in the Samsung three times much. SamSung that share is 3.9%.

　　Since then, Intel’s market share has been in 11.9-14.8%. At the same time, 2001-2010 Samsung operating income increased by 355%, the market share and the rank rises,

　　Shown below is the IHS iSuppli company in 2010 25 global semiconductor vendors final ranking.

　　Memory operations to promote Samsung rise

　　Samsung ’s strong performance in 2010, mainly due to its main semiconductor products -- memory integrated circuit ( IC ) sales soar.

　　The main categories of semiconductor memory IC, the largest increase, high up to 52.4%. The second fastest growing areas are sensors and actuators, an increase of 35.5%, discrete components to a 34.5% increase in the third row.

　　In 2010 to promote memory area growth of the greatest hero is DRAM, it grew by 75%. NAND flash memory market is another main character, growth of 38.6%.

　　For Samsung, considering it as the world’s largest supplier of DRAM and NAND position, the company’s 2010 semiconductor business revenue growth of 59.1%, means that its performance is far higher than the overall semiconductor industry. According to the IHS iSuppli company in 2010 2010 semiconductor sales of final ranking, global semiconductor sales of $304100000000, compared to $230200000000 in 2009 32.1% increase.

　　Other outstanding performance of the company

　　Memory market grows strong, also push the other main memory supplier market share and the rank rises.

　　The United States of America micron, Hynix and Japanese Elpida’s overall market share rose respectively 1.1, 0.7 and 0.4 percentage points. Micron with memory market strong growth and acquisition of Numonyx, moving up five places in the top 10, rose to eighth. Hynix and Elpida revenue increased 66.2% and 63.3% respectively, is entirely based on organic growth of the 20 major semiconductor companies in the largest increase. Elpida rose four, up from fifteenth in 2009 to eleventh, has ranked ahead a to sixth.

　　The urge to merge

　　Electronics ranked in 2010 from ninth in 2009 to fifth, thanks to the technology and NEC electronic merging. In 2009 the two companies of the business income is $9500000000, in 2010 revenues grew 24.7% to $11900000000, the growth rate is less than the market as a whole.

　　Electronics in 2010 3.9% market share, is still lower than the technology’s 4.3%. Technology in 2003 by the Hitachi and Mitsubishi semiconductor semiconductor merged. In 2009 the technology’s overall market share dropped to 2.2%, but the recent merger after the formation of the entity’s share rose to the original level, and entered the top five list.

　　Significant change

　　Because of its excellent business execution, and participate in the strong performance of the market area, Maxim integrated product, Marvell Technology Group, Elpida, Broadcom and Xilinx in 2010 25 major semiconductor companies, the greatest progress.

　　Beautiful letter ranking jumped six to twenty-fourth, five to eighteenth Marvell. Several other companies rose four, and the first time in tenth. All five companies mainly through organic growth, operating income in 2010 expanded 36.0-63.3%.

　　2010 is not through large acquisitions and the strong growth of semiconductor suppliers including: Dezhou instruments grew 34.4%, Analog 36.9% Devices growth, infinion grows 41.8%, grow 52.5% Panasonic Corp. Infinion 2010 business income still includes a wireless unit, the unit in early 2011 was sold to intel.

　　In 2010 NXP the machine box business was sold to Trident Microsystems, have also made good performance, growth of 24.3%.

　　In the 25 semiconductor suppliers in 2010, in the most difficult is the" Taiwan Science & technology, business income" flat" high growth of only 12.4%"" Wei Ying Da growth of 13.1%". High ranking dropped from sixth to ninth, hair science and technology from sixteenth to nineteenth, Wei Ying Da retained its twentieth ranking, AMD and Sony rankings were decreased four, because of its overall business income growth is significantly slower than the overall market.

　　The poor performance of semiconductor design company in 2010

　　Semiconductor design company performance is inferior to the overall semiconductor market, and the historical trend is contrary to apparently. Semiconductor design field in 2010 operating income increased by only 26%. However, in 2010 seven semiconductor design company ranks among the top 25, more than 2009 six. The seven companies including high, Broadcom, AMD, Marvell Technology Group, MediaTek, Wei Ying Da and xilinx.
