Global Chip Maker Rank: Intel is still no. 1. Hayes dropped out of the top 10
Global semiconductor manufacturers sales ranking
Market research firm IC Insights released a brief report, predicting that Intel, Samsung and TSMC will be among the top 15 semiconductor suppliers by 2020. Among the world's TOP15 semiconductor suppliers in 2020, eight are headquartered in the United States, two each in South Korea, Taiwan and Europe, and one in Japan.
It's worth noting that Huawei Haisi is expected to drop out of the top 10, which means there won't be a Single Chinese company in the top 10. Hayes was no. 10, but now mediatek has taken its place. Mediatek, on the other hand, is reported to be selling 5G chips, with its revenue surging 35% year on year, all the way up from 16th to 11th, close to occupying hayes' former position.
Despite all the changes in the global ranking of semiconductor chip companies, the semiconductor industry is one of the few industries that has not been affected by the epidemic. Instead, it has bucked the trend. IC Insights predicts that the sales of the top 15 semiconductor companies in 2020 will grow 13 percent from 2019, slightly more than double the global semiconductor industry's total projected growth of 6 percent.
