Chinese Companies Hold Only 5% of Global IC Marketshare Propelled by 50% share of IDM sales and 64% share of fabless sales, U.S. companies captured 55% of the total worldwide IC market in 2020. April 14, 2021 -- Regional marketshares of IDMs (companies operating wafer fabs), fabless companies, and total IC sales were led by U.S. headquartered companies in 2020, according to the March Update to The McClean Report 2021. Figure 1 shows U.S. companies held 55% of the total worldwide IC market in ...

Revenue per wafer climbs as demand surges The success and proliferation of integrated circuits has largely hinged on the ability of IC manufacturers to continue offering more performance and functionality for the money. But despite high development costs, smaller nodes bring greater revenue per wafer. Driving down the cost of ICs (on a per-function or per-performance basis) is inescapably tied to a growing arsenal of technologies and wafer-fab manufacturing disciplines as mainstream CMOS proces...

Courtesy of Samsung Electronics DRAM and NAND flash memory semiconductors are expected to be the two chip products that outshine this year, a report showed Saturday, boding well for South Korean chipmakers that dominate the world market. Sales growth for the two are projected to be 18 percent and 17 percent, respectively, making them the sharpest-growing chips among the 33 integrated circuit (IC) products a...

World and IC industry out of joint We are used to being told by the industry’s analysts that the IC industry tracks GDP. As with all rules, it’s the exception that proves it, and 2020 certainly put this rule to the test with the world heading South while the industry went North. “The year 2020 was a most unusual and challenging year for businesses and consumers,” says Bill McLean president of IC Insights, “with the promise of a new year looming, it is worthwhile to step back, take a ...
